Usage

This node uses the instagram-private-api library to interact with Instagram's private API endpoints. This allows for more comprehensive access to Instagram features compared to the official APIs, but comes with additional considerations:

Features Available:

• Access to private account information
• Retrieve followers and following lists
• Upload photos and stories
• Access to direct messages
• Timeline and user feed access

Important Considerations:

• Terms of Service: Using private APIs may violate Instagram's Terms of Service
• Rate Limiting: Instagram has strict rate limits - use delays between requests
• Account Safety: Consider using a dedicated account for automation
• Stability: Private APIs can change without notice

Example Usage:
