blm-instagram-bot

Instagram bot that informs users using the BlackLivesMatter tag to post solid images that they may be accidentally hiding important information about the movement. Demonstration 1 Demonstration 2

Uses a Google Cloud Function called blm-cloud-function to determine if the image is a solid black image. This is to offload the image processing to the cloud and hopefully keep things running smooth.

To-Do

  1. Poll the tag. Right now it only goes through the current posts.
  2. Keep a cache of posts the bot has already commented on.
  3. Use multiple accounts to rotate and avoid being rate limited by Instagram.
  4. Use a better way to detect solid images (Currently just checks if all RGB values are under 20)
