Here is quick tutorial to get started with the project. The main purpose of this repo is to get acquainted with instagram-private-api lib and how it can be used on real projects.
There are two types of nodes implemented - web and worker nodes. First one is just a simple ExpressJS
REST API server which exposes single endpoint GET process-feed/:userId where userId is any
instagram username(e.g instagram). Whenever this method is called web server fetches 200 latest
account followers for the specified :userId and puts every item in the RabbitMQ queue to be processed
by worker node.
Worker node is a simple RabbitMQ consumer that listens particular queue for messages and just processes each of them. For the moment there is no processing, though it might be every logic such as "like latest user's media", follow user depending on some conditions, some analytics, etc.
We use NodeJS 6.2.0+, npm 3.8.9+, MongoDB 3.2.8
npm run debug-web- start web node in development mode, watch & transpine on the fly.npm run debug-worker- starts worker node in development mode, watch & transpine on the fly.npm run debug- starts both web & worker nodes in development mode.
Make sure you specify instagram credentials explicitly: login=somelogin pass=somepass npm run debug
npm run it:dev- run integration tests. Requires web node to be started. Uses dev environment configuration for tests.
