## What it is
InstaPy is a Python library built on Selenium that automates Instagram interactions such as liking, commenting, following, and unfollowing to grow accounts. It supports headless browser sessions, Docker deployment, and configurable targeting rules.

## Use cases
- automatically like and comment on instagram posts
- grow my instagram followers with a bot
- schedule automated instagram interactions
- unfollow accounts that don't follow back on instagram
- run an instagram bot in docker
- target users by hashtags to engage with their posts

## When to choose
- you want scriptable, rule-based Instagram engagement automation in Python
- you need headless or Docker-based browser automation for Instagram
- you want a mature, widely used bot with extensive configuration options

## When to avoid
- you need official API-based integrations that comply with Instagram's terms of service
- you want a no-code GUI marketing tool
- you can't accept the risk of account bans from platform automation

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: web-scraping, workflow-automation
- domain: social-media, developer-tools
