Question 1

How do I set up Like-My-GF to run on a schedule?

Accepted Answer

You can use cron jobs as suggested in the README, such as running it every 2 minutes. First, install the required Python libraries and configure the config.ini file with your Instagram API details.

Question 2

Is Like-My-GF still working with Instagram's current API?

Accepted Answer

It might not be, since the project is abandoned and relies on the python-instagram library, which could be outdated. Check for recent forks or updates if you need a working version.

Question 3

Can I use Like-My-GF for multiple Instagram accounts?

Accepted Answer

No, it's designed for a single target user per configuration. To handle multiple accounts, you would need to modify the code or run separate instances, which isn't documented.

Question 4

What's the difference between Like-My-GF and tools like Instapy?

Accepted Answer

Like-My-GF is a simple, personal script focused on liking posts for a specific user, while Instapy is a more feature-rich, actively maintained library with broader automation capabilities and community support.

Question 5

How to avoid getting banned by Instagram when using this bot?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't address this; automating likes violates Instagram's terms of service, so use it cautiously at your own risk, and consider limiting frequency to avoid detection.

Question 6

Does Like-My-GF support commenting or other interactions?

Accepted Answer

No, it only automates liking posts. The README mentions potential features like email alerts or multi-platform support in the to-do list, but they are not implemented.
