• Shares pictures, albums and videos
• Optional login to pull private posts
• Only shares posts that have not been shared
• Use of SFTP for creating checkpoint files
• Uses secrets as environment variables
• Runs with GitHub Actions

• Defining GitHub Secrets as environment variables
• Python 3.11 (for local run)
• Telegram bot (follow the guide)
• Instagram account (optional login, but required when pulling public data fails)

Customize the configuration by setting up the required parameters, either in GitHub Secrets or the .env file:

Please note that PRIVATE_ACCESS is set by default to "N" in the .env file.

1. Fork the repo
2. Open your repo settings
3. Go to "Security > Secrets and variables > Actions"
4. Create and define your parameters with the button "New repository secret"
5. Push any change to the main branch to trigger the job

Due to limitations with GitHub Actions, jobs are executed every 6 hours, and in-progress jobs are canceled if a new job is executed before that.

1. Clone the repository and navigate to the project directory:

   git clone https://github.com/chdelacr/instagram-to-telegram.git
   cd instagram-to-telegram

2. Update the .env file with your parameters between double quotes ("")
3. Create and activate a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv
   
   # Linux and macOS:
   source venv/bin/activate
   
   # Windows:
   venv\Scripts\activate

4. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Run the job:

   python main.py
