Auto follow Instagram accounts from a list. The list can be a single column CSV file (without header) or a plain text file with usernames to follow in each line. The script follows 12 accounts in less than a minute. But that can customized by adjusting the sleep parameters at line 18 and 24.

instaFollow.py

from instagram_private_api import Client, ClientCompatPatch
import time

user_name = 'xxxxxxx'
password = 'xxxxxxx'

api = Client(user_name, password)

f = open("followers.csv", "r").read().split("\n")
i = 0
for x in f:
  if bool(x):
	  try:
		  user_info = api.username_info(x)
	  except Exception as e:
		  print(f"User: {x} ",e)
		  continue
	  time.sleep(1)
	  api.friendships_create(user_info['user']['pk'])
	  print ("Followed user:: "+x)
	  i=i+1
	  if i % 12 == 0:
		  print("sleeping for 40 sec, total followed till now: ", i)
		  time.sleep(40)
