Installation

pip install ensta
Example
Fetching profile info by username:
from ensta import Mobile
mobile = Mobile(username, password)
profile = mobile.profile("leomessi")
print(profile.full_name)
print(profile.biography)
print(profile.profile_pic_url)
Features
These features use the Mobile API.
Using Proxies
When to use a proxy: - You're being rate limited. - Ensta is not working because your Home IP is flagged. - You're deploying Ensta to the cloud. (Instagram blocks requests from IPs of cloud providers, so a proxy must be used) ```python from ensta import Mobile mobile = Mobile( username, password, proxy={ "http": "socks5://username:password@host:port", "https": "socks5://username:password@host:port" } ) ``` Ensta uses the same proxy settings as the **requests** module.
Username-Password Login
Username is recommended to sign in. However, email can also be used. ```python from ensta import Mobile # Recommended mobile = Mobile(username, password) # This also works mobile = Mobile(email, password) ```
Change Profile Picture
```python from ensta import Mobile mobile = Mobile(username, password) mobile.change_profile_picture("image.jpg") ```
