Instagram API: send direct messages from a web browser | |
Since April 2020, Instagram has a web version to send and read direct messages so my Instagram scripts are not longer needed and I would not recommend using them unless you really need it, to avoid being banned | |
(never happened to me with Instagram but WhatsApp is owned by Facebook also and they did it to users registering from an unofficial app like yowsup: https://github.com/tgalal/yowsup/commit/88b8ad9581fa22dac330ee3a05fec4e485dfa634#diff-b335630551682c19a781afebcf4d07bf978fb1f8ac04c6bf87428ed5106870f5) | |
For browser setup, see script instagram-api_direct_messages_backup.js | |
Instagram web version sessionid cookie does not allow sending messages so we need to log in manually | |
Signature should match signed_body data (using HMAC-SHA256 with private key) but wrong signature or key may work also. |
