What is InstaPy ?

InstaPy is a group of people leaded by Mohan Sha (author) that helps each other to develop this Instagram automation tool.

InstaPy itself is a very customisable bot that can be used for either personal or brand accounts to increase interaction with targeted users (e.g. by Tags or Locations) to increase the presence.

Who is InstaPy ?

People all around the world like You and me that likes to code/doc/use InstaPy. Everyday these people are working together to improve it, feel part of it when coding, suggesting, documenting and talking about the tool.

How does InstaPy survives ?

InstaPy itself is completely OpenSource, this means that everyone can use it for free.

However, this does also mean, that no single person can maintain this on his own, that's were You, the community come into place.

This project will only survive as long as there are people who use it and help fix bugs, add documentation and contribute new amazing features.

Even if you're not into coding, you might find that the description of one of the features of InstaPy is not understandable... Easy, simply extend it and create a Pull Request.

This project heavily relies on developers that put their free time into improving this tool.

How to propose a Feature Request ?

Do you have a good idea ? Let's discuss about it, open an Issue and detail your idea! Simon Sinek have a good approach to help us when thinking about something value.

How Bounties work:

  1. Users fund bounties on open issues or feature requests they want to see addressed.

  2. Developers create solutions which closes the issue and claim the bounty on Bountysource.

  3. Backers can accept or reject the claim.

  4. If accepted, Bountysource pays the bounty to the developer.
