Instagram-Unfollow-Bot

This automated app logs a user into Instagram and finds who has unfollowed them. As of now, it seems like the most popular option to find unfollowers is to use a third-party app. That requires providing your login credentials to them though, which some would like to avoid. This app is a way to find unfollowers using web automation and avoids revealing sensitive information to third-parties.

I learned the automated login part of this app from the following tutorial

To run

First, download the dependencies through the shell:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Third, create a file instagram_login.py inside this folder and insert the following:

username = 'yourUsername'
password = 'yourPassword'
has_2FA = 'True/False'

You should insert your actual username and password into lines 1 and 2, and you should insert 'True' or 'False' for line 3 depending on whether you have Two-factor authentication turned on or off for your account.

Lastly, run the app through the shell:

python3 app.py

The first time you run the app, it will create a new file old_followers.txt with your current followers. Further runs will update old_followers.txt with your current followers and append any found unfollowers to unfollower_history.txt along with the date the app was run.
