How to create a Discord Bot that automatically shares Instagram posts [Python]
video by CreepyD

Welcome to the step-by-step Python Discord & Instagram Integration bot tutorial! In this video, you'll learn how to create a Discord bot that controls Instagram through various ways. The bot will be able to search for posts under certain tags, or even share posts from a specific account, all done in Discord. We'll make use of discord.py, and instagrapi (an unofficial Instagram API). The bot will also share certain Instagram posts automatically without the need to explicitly search for them.

Whether you're experimenting with Discord/Instagram bots or just curious about Python and social media bots, this tutorial has you covered.

I have a similar tutorial on my channel where the Discord bot controls Instagram, but that one was not automatic, this one is.
