instachatbot
Simple framework for building Instagram chat bots with menu driven interface
Installation

To install development version:
pip3 install git+https://github.com/art-vasilyev/instachatbot.git
How to use
Create sample script main.py:
from instachatbot.bot import InstagramChatBot
from instachatbot.nodes import (
MenuNode, MenuItem, MessageNode, QuestionnaireNode, NotifyAdminNode)
menu = MenuNode(
'💡Choose menu:\n',
[
MenuItem(
'text message',
MessageNode('This is a message😀')),
MenuItem(
'questionnaire',
QuestionnaireNode(
[
'What is your favourite book? 📚',
'What is your favourite fruit? 🍐 🍊 🍋'
],
header='Please answer the following questions',
admin_username='<user to send results to>',
response='Thank your for your answers')),
MenuItem(
'send notification to admin',
NotifyAdminNode(
'Thank you',
notification='Sample notification from bot user',
admin_username='<username to send notification to>'
)
),
],
error_message='Failed to select menu.'
)
chatbot = InstagramChatBot(menu=menu)
chatbot.login(
username='<instagram-username>',
password='<instagram-password>')
chatbot.start()Run the script:
python3 main.py
Persistent conversation state
By default conversation state is discarded on bot restart, to make it persistent you should provide persistent storage on bot initialization:
chatbot = InstagramChatBot(menu=menu, storage=FileStorage())Menu triggers
By default a bot sends the menu on any message it receives. If you want menu to appear only if bot receives special message, set trigger argument on bot initialization:
chatbot = InstagramChatBot(menu=menu, trigger='/menu')Examples
Nested menu example:
menu = MenuNode(
'Main menu:\n',
[
MenuItem(
'Send message to admin',
MenuNode(
'Are you sure want to send message?',
[
MenuItem(
'Yes',
NotifyAdminNode(
'Thank you',
notification='Sample notification from bot user',
admin_username='<username to send notification to>'
)
),
MenuItem(
'No',
MessageNode('Canceled message sending.')
),
],
)
)
],
error_message='Failed to select menu.'
)
