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]),
  });
})();

Basic concepts

Feeds

Feed allows you to get data. Every feed is accessible via ig.feed.feedName. See nice example and learn how to work with library feeds.

Available feeds key list:

accountFollowers, accountFollowing, news, discover, pendingFriendships, blockedUsers, directInbox, directPending, directThread, user, tag, location, mediaComments, reelsMedia, reelsTray, timeline, musicTrending, musicSearch, musicGenre, musicMood, usertags, saved

Most of the feeds requires initialization parameter, like user pk. Check autogenerated docs, every feed doc link starts with feeds/ and contains constructor with argument if needed.

Repositories

Repositories implements low-level atomic operations. Any repository method must make at most one api-request. There is repository listing below, so you can get information about methods of each repository from our autogenerated docs.

Keys is a little hints, with it you will be able to get access to repository via ig.key.
