A Node.js client library for Instagram's private web API, supporting login, profile access, photo upload, likes, comments, follows, and search. It wraps the endpoints used by Instagram's web app to enable programmatic interaction from JavaScript.
Use cases
- upload photos to instagram feed or story from a script
- get followers and followings of an instagram user
- like and comment on instagram posts programmatically
- fetch instagram profile data by username
- automate instagram posting with node.js
- scrape instagram user activity and media
When to choose
- you need to automate Instagram actions (posting, liking, following) from Node.js
- you want a simple JavaScript wrapper around Instagram's private web endpoints
- you need cookie-based session persistence for long-running scripts
When to avoid
- you need an officially supported API with guaranteed stability
- you are building a production service where account bans are unacceptable
- you need Instagram Graph API features for business accounts
- you are not using Node.js or JavaScript
