Basic Setup:

1.1) Go to the ./necessaryData directory and complete all the steps listed in the README.txt file.

.

1.2) Replace "username" and "password" in the _./scripts/instagram/__init _.py file with your username and your password.

.

1.3) Fill the ./scripts/generalUsedTools/linksOnEnemies/unparsedLinks file with links to instagram accounts. There is already many profiles in the file, and the text was taken from this telegram channel. That's why the file is named "unparsedLinks": you can leave there any text with links and the script will select only links from the all other junk.

.

Now the program can be run.

.

.

Text Files:

1. unparsedLinks is the file with all the text/links you want the scpirt to work on. 2. allParsedLinks.txt extracted links from all the junk from the previous step. 3. reportedOnesInst.txt is the file with all the instagram account that have been already reported.

.

ALGORITHM STEPS ON HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS you can see in the terminal output when you run the script.

.

.

This project was supposed to be multi social media reporting application, not only for Instagram, but for Twitter, YouTube, TikTok and Facebook as well. That's exactly why ./scripts folder is divided on "generalUsedTools" and "instagram" packages, there were supposed to be packages for all the other social media. That's the first version of the project.
