Instagram Reporter Bot

This project automates the process of reporting an Instagram account through a script using Python and Selenium.

Features

Automated Login: Logs into Instagram using credentials from a configuration file.
Automated Reporting: Navigates through the interface to report a specified user account.
Configurable Settings: User credentials are loaded from a JSON configuration file for easy updates.

To use this script, ensure you have the following installed on your system:

Install the required Python libraries using pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Create a config.json file in the project directory with the following structure:

{
  "username": "your_instagram_username",
  "password": "your_instagram_password"
}

Download ChromeDriver from https://chromedriver.chromium.org/ and ensure it is in your system’s PATH or in the project folder.

To start the script, execute the following command in your terminal:

python reporter.py

Once the script starts, you’ll be prompted to enter the username of the Instagram account you want to report.

Launch Chrome: The script initializes a Chrome browser instance using Selenium.
Login Process:
- Opens the Instagram login page.
- Inputs the username and password from the config.json file.
- Handles cookies and login prompts automatically.
Reporting Loop:
- Navigates to the target user’s profile.
- Automates the reporting process by simulating user interactions.
- Loops the reporting action continuously.

Ethical Use: This script is for educational purposes only. Misusing this script to harm or harass others violates Instagram’s policies and may have legal consequences.
Liability: The author of this script is not responsible for any misuse or resulting consequences.

ElementNotInteractableException: Ensure the XPaths in the script match Instagram’s current DOM structure. Instagram’s interface may update, requiring you to adjust the XPaths.
WebDriverException: Confirm that ChromeDriver is compatible with your installed version of Chrome.

Use the headless=False option in the script to visually inspect the browser’s actions.
Update ChromeDriver and dependencies to their latest versions.
