Examples
You can find usage examples here
import { IgApiClient } from './src';
import { sample } from 'lodash';
const ig = new IgApiClient();
// You must generate device id's before login.
// Id's generated based on seed
// So if you pass the same value as first argument - the same id's are generated every time
ig.state.generateDevice(process.env.IG_USERNAME);
// Optionally you can setup proxy url
ig.state.proxyUrl = process.env.IG_PROXY;
(async () => {
// Execute all requests prior to authorization in the real Android application
// Not required but recommended
await ig.simulate.preLoginFlow();
const loggedInUser = await ig.account.login(process.env.IG_USERNAME, process.env.IG_PASSWORD);
// The same as preLoginFlow()
// Optionally wrap it to process.nextTick so we dont need to wait ending of this bunch of requests
process.nextTick(async () => await ig.simulate.postLoginFlow());
// Create UserFeed instance to get loggedInUser's posts
const userFeed = ig.feed.user(loggedInUser.pk);
const myPostsFirstPage = await userFeed.items();
// All the feeds are auto-paginated, so you just need to call .items() sequentially to get next page
const myPostsSecondPage = await userFeed.items();
await ig.media.like({
// Like our first post from first page or first post from second page randomly
mediaId: sample([myPostsFirstPage[0].id, myPostsSecondPage[0].id]),
moduleInfo: {
module_name: 'profile',
user_id: loggedInUser.pk,
username: loggedInUser.username,
},
d: sample([0, 1]),
});
})();
