I am not sure if this is the place, do you know about a similar tool for Facebook?
Thanks.

@sionking Haha, I was thinking about the same thing...

The long term idea is to create an open source organisation here on github which would be called
"BotPy".
You could find all kinds of social bots there including InstaPy. (And an improved version of TwitPy, maybe FacebooPy and YouTubePy as well...)
But first it would be really nice to have a quite stable version of InstaPy.

However, I don't know of any tool that has requested behaviour yet

Few repos to get started:

https://github.com/clintmcmahon/twitter-retweet-bot
https://github.com/robbiebarrat/twitter-contest-enterer

https://github.com/ayushxx7/Facebook-Auto-Liker
https://github.com/jellevdvliet/facebook-bot-autoresponder
https://github.com/nicopastorello/Selenium-Facebook

@timgrossmann Plese do create dummy repos and let us know we will try to take the organisation forward.

@ishandutta2007 Hey, thank you for the links!

What exactly do you mean by "try to take the organisation forward"?
I think it makes most sense to focus our efforts on making InstaPy stable and nicely done.

Once we've done that, we have a quite some experience and can avoid the problems and faults we made, when developing a new system for facebook, twitter, youtube etc.

[ishandutta2007]

I mean few people who prioritise other channels for their brands can contribute to those projects more actively and you can continue to focus on InstaPy as your primary focus. For example my primary focus on automating for my brand so far has been twitter and youtube.

The reason I am asking you to initiate than me doing it is, it would be easier to follow the same skeleton structure for those projects. Most of the backend logic stuff will be common for those projects, that's why I see no reason to be able to develop them quickly in parallel. Very frew brands focus on one channel, more channels means more continutors, so if more people jump on contributing on same project structure it would fasten up this project too. As far as I understand, InstaPy has already reached a stable enough state and we can start working on replicating to

• TwitPy
• FacebookPy
• YouTubePy
• SnapPy
• WhatsappPy

@timgrossmann Is https://github.com/timgrossmann/TwitPy the one? Please add it and InstaPy to "SocialBotsPy" organisation (I prefer this name more as it explicitly indicates social meda bots).
