How I built an Instagram mass account creator with python.
In a chase for social media fame, I considered a lot of tools to gain more followers, so I thought about why not create the followers myself (genius right… I know, you don’t have to tell me).
So I sped open my terminal (cmd to be exact… terminal sounds way cooler) and vscode (the coolest IDE in the world). but it dawned on me, how do I want to do this.
So I needed few things a browser automatic library and where to store the details of the created account. In no time I found these two :
- Selenium : Selenium allows for browser automation.
- Firebase : Firebase as a no-sql database implemetation.
Now using selenium I was able to automate the creation of an account on a browser and firebase to store the credentials once successful.
Problems and Challenges so far
- Age verification in some countries : apparently some countries require age verification before signing up on instagram. (this feature is still in developement and still contains some bugs)
2. Proxies : Instagram Blocked some of the IP’s that were used, because they discovered they were creating to many account’s, this was solved by using proxies
That’s all for now, I would be back from my adventure,checkout the code on github, and fill out this poll to add more features.
