InstaWebhooks documentation

InstaWebhooks is a Python command-line interface which allows you to monitor any Instagram account for new posts and then send them to a Discord webhook.

• Works with any Instagram account, including private accounts if you are a follower

• Customizable Discord embeds for new posts and message contents including mentions/pings

• User-definable refresh interval for checking for new posts the second they are posted

Quickstart

With Python installed, install InstaWebhooks with pip:

$ pip install instawebhooks

After installing, you can run InstaWebhooks with the following command (change the username and webhook URL to your own):

$ instawebhooks raenlua https://discord.com/api/webhooks/0123456789/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Now, whenever the Instagram account @raenlua posts a new photo, it will be sent to the Discord webhook.
