About

It is a proxyless tool that checks the availablity of Instagram usernames in blazing fast speed. It checks if the http request status code is 404. If it is, it will automatically assume that the Instagram username is not taken.

This tool can be inaccurate at times because it does not use the actual Instagram api. It only checks if the username's Instagram url is invalid.

This tool is used for educational purposes only.

How to use

• Python must be installed

1. If you dont have python installed, download python 3.7.6 and make sure you click on the 'ADD TO PATH' option during the installation.

2. Type pip install aiohttp in cmd

3. Add the usernames you want to check in usernames.txt. Do not put a lot of usernames because you can get rate limited and it can become more inaccurate. It is recommended to check around 500 usernames then wait 24 hours before you can check again.

4. Make sure you are in the same directory as the folder you downloaded it in. Type python main.py in cmd to run

5. Once it is done running, available usernames will be saved in hits.txt.
