I'm creating a Python automation tool to post on IG, but I'm struggling to upload videos with Instabot. Pictures upload fine, but videos don't seem to work.

Which library do you use and find to be more reliable?

SeleniumBase is great for automating websites, and PyAutoIt works well for GUI automation. If you're using an API for things like Instagram, just be prepared for your account to get banned. The API acts like a trap, making it easier for them to catch bots and automation.

You're correct, I was using the "instabot" library in Python and my account got shadowbanned right away. I'll need to switch to using seleniumbase for this. Thanks a lot!

I confirm. I tested Instabot, and it didn't work well. Playwright or Selenium, which simulate user activity, are better options. Selenium also offers something called Selenium Grid to manage multiple instances on virtual machines, making it easier to handle different IPs.

I suggest you try Instagrapi. I used it a little while ago, and it worked great for both getting information and uploading content!

I tried it too after posting this thread, and it worked well. Thanks!
