Over the last few months, we have been working hard on a major upgrade to Instagram CLI, one that will feel like moving from vim to nvim -- we're so excited to announce that it's finally here, npm install -g @i7m/instagram-cli
Highlights
Compared to the Python client:
-
Significantly lower risk of account flagging by Instagram and super fast message loading -- we replaced chat endpoint pollign with MQTT protocol client, the same native method used by your mobile and web app!
-
Render images directly in most terminal emulators! We're not just taking about ascii images, we support 5+ protocols including high-res images. Checkout our sister project, ink picture here: https://github.com/endernoke/ink-picture
-
New feed view, and don't worry we still block all the reels so you won't get brain-rotten
-
A ton of other UI/UX redesign such as new scroll view inspired by react native, autocomplete for file paths, adding files directly into text messages, etc. that makes our CLI so easy to use for developers, since it resembles most AI CLI coding tools 😄
Latency? That's called the browser. Become a 10x "instagramer" with even faster keyboard shortcuts and navigation -- leave the GUI and touch screen for the business majors.
Contributing
What's a better time to contribute to Instagram CLI than now! Ink, which is built upon React, makes contributing much easier than the old python curses! Checkout CONTRIBUTION.md for more info!
Note that we will still be maintaining the python client, but active development will only happen on typescript client. We welcome contributions for both!
