Do you have experience posting pictures on Instagram programatically? How do you do it?



I have a Telegram bot (t.me/SocialMediaPosterBot) which I use to post to Instagram from channel and groups. For that, I send to the bot my username and password and he stores the authentication cookie in the database. Then, every time I send a picture to the group/channel he uses the cookie to post the picture and stores the updated cookie.

I've hacked together a small node app for this a couple of weeks back using a google spread for handling the content: github.com/Kinzi/instagram-po… – can be hosted for free on heroku or similiar... recommended for private use only as it uses instagrams internal API
