Introduction

PyInstaFollow is the simplest tool for finding out who is not following you back.

I know how these tools tend to be and how sketchy they always seem. For this reason I decided to create PyInstaFollow and publish it as an open source project.

So what does it do?

• Get a list of people following you (Followers).
• Get a list of people you follow (Followees).
• Compare the two lists and see who isn't following you back.
• (NEW) Backup old followers and followees lists.

Usage

1. git clone https://github.com/Yaw-Dev/PyInstaFollow
2. cd PyInstaFollow
3. pip install -r requirements.txt
4. Fill in your information on config.json
5. Finally just run main.py

All you have to do now is run "Get Followers" and "Get Followees" at least once. After that you can run "Compare" and get a list of everyone not following you back. Simple as that!

---

You can now set whether you want the login to happen on program start (every time) or only when using [1] or [2]. This will help lower API calls (login) which may have been useless if the user only wanted to run "Compare".

• You can do this by changing the login-on-start value on config.json

Warning: Using any of the features that require API calls may result in rate-limits or Instagram flagging it as suspicious behavior if done very frequently! Please use with caution.

Todo

• add an option for unfollowing everyone that doesn't follow you back (not possible with instaloader)
• write the output of "Compare" to a file
• beautify the cli
• make code less shitty

Contributions and suggestions are appreciated :)
