Ensta is a simple, reliable and up-to-date python package for Instagram API.
Both authenticated and anonymous requests are supported.
Read the pre-requisites here.
pip install ensta
Fetching profile info by username:
from ensta import Mobile
mobile = Mobile(username, password)
profile = mobile.profile("leomessi")
print(profile.full_name)
print(profile.biography)
print(profile.profile_pic_url)
These features use the Mobile API.
When to use a proxy:
from ensta import Mobile
mobile = Mobile(
username,
password,
proxy={
"http": "socks5://username:password@host:port",
"https": "socks5://username:password@host:port"
}
)
Ensta uses the same proxy settings as the requests module.
Username is recommended to sign in. However, email can also be used.
from ensta import Mobile
# Recommended
mobile = Mobile(username, password)
# This also works
mobile = Mobile(email, password)
from ensta import Mobile
mobile = Mobile(username, password)
mobile.change_profile_picture("image.jpg")
from ensta import Mobile
mobile = Mobile(username, password)
profile = mobile.profile("leomessi")
print(profile.full_name)
print(profile.biography)
print(profile.follower_count)
from ensta import Mobile
mobile = Mobile(username, password)
mobile.follow("leomessi")
mobile.unfollow("leomessi")
from ensta import Mobile
mobile = Mobile(username, password)
mobile.change_biography("New bio here.")

mobile = Mobile(username, password)
mobile.like(media_id)
mobile.unlike(media_id)
from ensta import Mobile
mobile = Mobile(username, password)
followers = mobile.followers("leomessi")
followings = mobile.followings("leomessi")
for user in followers.list:
print(user.full_name)

Features still using the Web API:
from ensta import Web
host = Web(username, password)
video_id = host.upload_video_for_reel("Video.mp4", thumbnail="Thumbnail.jpg")
host.pub_reel(
video_id,
caption="Enjoying the winter! ⛄"
)
from ensta import Web
host = Web(username, password)
profile = host.profile("leomessi")
print(profile.full_name)
print(profile.biography)
print(profile.follower_count)
from ensta import Web
host = Web(username, password)
posts = host.posts("leomessi", 100) # Want full list? Set count to '0'
for post in posts:
print(post.caption_text)
print(post.like_count)
from ensta import Web
host = Web(username, password)
post_id = host.get_post_id("https://www.instagram.com/p/Czr2yLmroCQ/")
likers = host.likers(post_id)
for user in likers.users:
print(user.username)
print(user.profile_picture_url)
They'll be migrated to the Mobile API soon.
Important: The Web Class is deprecated and it's features are being migrated to the Mobile Class. It'll be removed from Ensta upon completion.
Requires login, and has the most features.
from ensta import Mobile
mobile = Mobile(username, password)
profile = mobile.profile("leomessi")
print(profile.full_name)
print(profile.biography)
print(profile.profile_pic_url)
Doesn't require login, but has limited features.
from ensta import Guest
guest = Guest()
profile = guest.profile("leomessi")
print(profile.biography)
from ensta import Web
host = Web(username, password)
profile = host.profile("leomessi")
print(profile.biography)
