It would be nice, if your app could be installed via pip.

Hello,

I execute your code

from instadm import InstaDM

	insta = InstaDM(username='******', password='*****', headless=False)
	insta.sendMessage(user='photofriendsoficial', message='Hey !')

but give me a error

Hey, great bot, thanks for sharing. I want to ask, is it possible to share a post to someone and then send a message? If yes, how?

Using protractor and typescript, webdriver-manager commands like start and stop are all not recognised any more.

I want to automatically know if the direct message is seen or answered , and if yes send another message, is it.possible? Is anyone building this feature?
That would be the first step to build a chatbot

Hey thank you for this amazing lib !

I want to automate customer orders via a chat bot. can I use this for that? below is a example how it works:

(c) means customer and (b) is bot replying
(c) sends a DM
(b) how are you today? for placing an order send 1 and for talking to a person send 5
(c) 1
(b) please send product code. you can find product code below any post in caption
(c) E873
(b) this product is $87. if you want to order it, please let me know how many. if not, please reply with NO
(c) 1
....

you get the idea. this would be super cool. I can even think of Customer Support scenarios

hey, i'm new

how do i install this bot??

It just says that there's no elements and do nothing

Hi, everyone!

I have this error
ERROR:root:list index out of range

i use this DM bot with INSTAPY

MY START SCRIPT:

from instadm import InstaDM

if __name__ == '__main__':
	# Auto login
	insta = InstaDM(
		username='my_login',
		password='my_passwd',
		headless=False,
		instapy_workspace='/home/skylakert/'
	)


	#insta.login

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\nicor\Documents\Coder\Python\InstaDM\instagram-bot-dm-master\instadm.py", line 2, in <module> from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager as CM ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'webdriver_manager'

Some help over here?

These are the 3 errors that I can't figure out

Hi, thank you for sharing this code to the community, I have problem on importing your project:

from instadm import InstaDM
  File "/Users/alireza/Workspace/Personal/insta-bot/instagram-bot-dm/instadm.py", line 94
    logging.info(f'Login with {username}')

Tell me if I'm doing something wrong, I made a test.py file into the repo and running it inside the repo.
Thank you in advance.

How do i get if someone messaged my bot? I wanna create a little fun game.

Hello good afternoon.

I have a question would this script be able to identify and get the private messages that people can send?

Hello, can I use this bot to send a post together with the message in DM?

I can do it in the instagram app so it would be great if its also possible here.

Anyway, thanks for the great application!

When sending a multi line message with the sendMessage or the sendGroupMessage method the "Send" button disappears. When the message is fully typed the bot tries to send it by looking for the "Send" button but it can't be found.

I tried to solve this by pressing the Keys.RETRUN or Keys.ENTER buttons, but both don't work.

EDIT:
Found out that it can't press the "Send" button because the "This web browser is no longer supported." banner is in the way. I don't know how to upgrade the browser without breaking the bot.

My solutuon is to remove the banner with the following code in the typeMessage method just before the click on the send button.

try:
     element = self.driver.find_element_by_class_name('pwPDf')
     self.driver.execute_script("""
     var element = arguments[0];
     element.parentNode.removeChild(element);
     """, element)
except:
    pass

Seems like many people want to use this Bot but are struggeling with the basic usage:

I created this written guide for beginner programmers "How to use instagram-bot-dm".

This will help you to get started with this project.
@CamTosh please pin this issue

I try to send :

insta.sendMessage(user='my_ID', message='Hello\n my\n name \n is \n RSA')

Hello,

Is it possible to merge instagram-bot-dm & InstaPy features to get all users from a specific hashtag and send messages to each users ?

Thank you in advance.

The script is asking for google chrome, that can't be run on ARM processors.

Any alternative solution using firefox?

Thanks!

I want to send mass DMs using this tool, should I loop through the line of sending because it does make sense, authenticate once and loop to send.
need feedback here.

textarea "textarea": "//textarea[@Placeholder]" can't be found.
should this be updated?

I want to put both instadm with instapy. I have a list on one line in a .json file.

In this format

[somename, here, is, how, it, is, listed]

I want to use the 'user' variable in "insta.sendMessage(user, message='some message')
I want it take from that list in iterations instead of one at a time.
I've tried importing instapy and logging in a session then finishing with instaDM, but that failed. instaDM opens another socket of it's own.

The 2FA issue instaDM does not have that module

I have gotten this error :

from instadm import InstaDM
File "C:\Users\xxxx\Downloads\instagram-bot-dm-v.0.0.3\instagram-bot-dm-v.0.0.3\instadm.py", line 133
self.__remove_browser_unsupported_banner_if_exists(self, element):

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I have removed the ":" from "self.__remove_browser_unsupported_banner_if_exists(self, element):". And then I have tried again. But it didn't send a message.

And then I have gotten like this error :

ERROR:root:name 'element' is not defined
ERROR:root:162
PS C:\Users\xxxx\Downloads\instagram-bot-dm-v.0.0.3\instagram-bot-dm-v.0.0.3> [8372:2608:0510/230226.751:ERROR:gpu_init.cc(481)] Passthrough is not supported, GL is disabled, ANGLE is

I have removed "self.__remove_browser_unsupported_banner_if_exists(self, element)" this line from typeMessage method. I can send the a message successfully. You have to fix this in the repo.
