likemySO

Like your significant others latest instagram pictures if you forgot it (again). Build on instagram_private_api based on the idea of Like-My-GF.

Usage

from likemyso import InstaHusband # InstaWife

instahusband = Instahusband()
instahusband.login(username="your_username", password="your_password")

instahusband.like(
    significant_other="your_SOs_username",
    last_n_pictures=5,
    time_sleep_between_calls=20
    )

This will log you into instagram, get the latest items from your SO's instagram feed and like the images that you ""forgot"" to like. Your session will be stored in a settingsfile to avoid re-logins that might flag your instagram account and/or gets you banned.
