Automate Instagram
HumDay reads Instagram’s own published API description and derives 24 operations from it. Describe the outcome you want in plain words — you get a program that is written, proven on real data, and run for you.
What Instagram is
Description of Instagram RESTful API. Current limitations: * Instagram service does not support [cross origin headers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Access_control_CORS) for security reasons, therefore it is not possible to use Swagger UI and make API calls directly from browser. * Modification API requests (`POST`, `DELETE`) require additional security [scopes](https://instagr
API host: api.instagram.com

How automating Instagram works
- Describe the outcome. Say what you want to happen, in your own words. No node graphs, no field mapping.
- Approve the contract. HumDay writes down exactly what it will do, what it will touch, and what it will never do. You approve it before anything is built.
- See it proven. The program runs and shows you the result before it is allowed near your live Instagram account.
- Grant access, then go live. You approve the specific Instagram operations it may use — and only those.

Questions about Instagram automation
- Can HumDay connect to Instagram?
- Yes. HumDay reads Instagram's own published API description and derives the operations from it, so there is no hand-built connector to wait for. 24 operations are documented.
- Do I need to write code to automate Instagram?
- No. You describe the outcome you want in plain words. HumDay agrees a contract with you, writes the program, and shows you a test run before anything touches your Instagram account.
- What can HumDay do in Instagram?
- 5 of the 24 documented operations change something in Instagram, and 19 read from it. HumDay only ever uses the specific operations your approved contract needs.
- Is my Instagram account safe?
- Your credentials are stored encrypted and are never shown in chat, code, or logs. Every run is limited to the operations you explicitly approved, and anything that writes to Instagram is held behind that approval.
Where this came from
The operations above are read from a published API description for Instagram at raw.githubusercontent.com/darklynx/swagger-api-collection/master/api/yaml/instagram.yaml. Descriptions are the provider’s own words, not ours. Last published 2021-06-30.
