# 🚀 Instagram Followers
A Python Selenium bot from Day 52 of Udemy's "100 Days of Code: The Complete Python Pro Bootcamp": it logs in to the Share-a-Naan mock service, opens a target account and follows each of its followers. It is for course participants who want readable, runnable code and for visitors looking for ideas.

## 🧭 Overview
The assignment has five steps: get credentials, create the `InstaFollower` class, log in, find the followers of the target account and follow them. The code keeps the assignment's names (`InstaFollower`, `login`, `find_followers`, `follow`).
- `src/instagram_followers/` holds the bot in clean-architecture layers (`domain`, `application`, `infrastructure`, `presentation`) and `constants.py`.
- `tests/` holds the pytest tests, which use a fake driver and need no browser or network.
- `docs/` holds the project documents and the wiki (English, Danish and Bahasa Malaysia).
The bot targets the mock service Share-a-Naan. Running bots against the real Instagram can get an account banned and is not supported.
## 📋 Requirements
- Python 3.13 or newer.
- Google Chrome (Selenium 4 downloads a matching driver by itself).
- A Share-a-Naan account from the mock dashboard (`https://app.100daysofpython.dev/`).
## 🛠️ Setup
Create and use a local virtual environment named `.venv`, then upgrade pip and install the project with its test tools.
```bash
python -m venv .venv
```
Activate it (Windows PowerShell: `.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1`; Git Bash, Linux, macOS: `source .venv/bin/activate` or `source .venv/Scripts/activate`).
```bash
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
```
```bash
python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
```
Credentials are read from environment variables, never from the code. Do not commit a `.env` file; it is ignored by git.
```bash
export INSTA_USERNAME="your_email"
export INSTA_PASSWORD="your_password"
```
## ▶️ Run
```bash
python -m instagram_followers.presentation.main
```
Run it sparingly and log out between test runs by hand.
## 🧪 Tests
```bash
python -m pytest
```
API documentation can be generated with `doxygen Doxyfile` (output in `docs/doxygen/`).
