Instapy: time between likes

[emyabdel]

hi

for instapy, what's the default time between likes and how to change it to the value that I want

[lucanello]

Welcome @emyabdel. You can change the delay with the sleep_delay=60 argument. Just set any time in seconds you wish.

For example:

session.follow_user_followers(['friend1', 'friend2', 'friend3'], amount=10, randomize=False, sleep_delay=60)

as shown in the README.md file.

Thanks but i want the delay between likes and not between follow

[lucanello]

Just add the sleep_delay argument to the like function.

@lucanello sleep_delay won't work with like_by_tags, because it's not supported like_by_tags function in the instapy.py script. You'll have to add the following to the def like_by_tags function in the instapy.py file.

Here:

def like_by_tags(self,
tags=None,
amount=50,
media=None,
skip_top_posts=True,
use_smart_hashtags=False,
interact=False,
sleep_delay=60):

And here before the links = get_links_for_tag

        try:
            sleep(sleep_delay) 
            links = get_links_for_tag(self.browser,
                                      tag,
                                      amount,
                                      self.logger,
                                      media,
                                      skip_top_posts)
