Send Instagram Messages using Python

To send Instagram message using Python, you need to have an Instagram account and the instabot library installed in your Python virtual environment. Instabot is a Python library that you can use to automate features of your Instagram account using Python, like sending messages without even opening your application. You can install this Python library by using the pip command mentioned below:

  • pip install instabot

I hope you now have installed the instabot library in Python, now below is how you can send Instagram messages using Python:

from instabot import Bot bot = Bot()  bot.login(username="Your Username", password="Your Password") bot.send_message("Hi Brother", ["Receiver's Username"])

In the above code, I am using the login function of the instabot library to login into my Instagram account using Python. Here you have to use the username parameter to input your username and the password parameter to input your password. Then, in the next line, I am using the send_message function to send the message where the first parameter is the message itself and the second parameter is the username of the Instagram account you want to send a message to.
