Instagram Bot

Summary

The Instagram Bot is a tool that allows users to automatically repost content from Instagram on their own account. It works by scraping posts from a specified Instagram user or hashtag and then reposting them on a schedule using a cron job. This can save time and effort for users who want to repost content from other accounts without having to manually find and share the posts. The bot is built using Node.js, a popular JavaScript runtime, and Express, a web framework for Node.js, which allows for easy access to Instagram's data.
