Instagram Profile Automation Bot
Dual-approach Instagram automation system using browser automation and HTTP request manipulation. Automatique content creation and publication.
Automated Content Creation
Example of astronomy-themed content automatically generated and published through the automation system
Project Overview
Developed a comprehensive Instagram automation bot using Python and Selenium to automate social media interactions while maintaining human-like behavior patterns. The system was designed to grow follower base organically through strategic engagement.
The bot included advanced features like targeted audience interaction, automated posting, story viewing, and comprehensive analytics tracking, all while avoiding Instagram's anti-bot detection systems.
