instagram-poster

Post images to Instagram directly from your AI agent — bypasses bot detection with a real residential IP.

Quick start

node {baseDir}/scripts/post.js \
  --image ./photo.jpg \
  --caption "Good morning 🌅 #photography" \
  --user YOUR_USERNAME \
  --pass YOUR_PASSWORD

Post a WaveSpeed-generated image:

# 1. Generate image
node /workspace/.agents/skills/wavespeed/scripts/wavespeed.js generate \
  --model flux-schnell --prompt "sunset over mountains" --output /tmp/post.png

# 2. Post to Instagram
node {baseDir}/scripts/post.js \
  --image /tmp/post.png \
  --caption "Golden hour 🏔️ #nature #photography"

Options

Session caching

On first run, logs in and saves cookies to ~/.openclaw/ig-session.json. Subsequent runs reuse the session — no re-login needed.

Config in openclaw.json

{
  skills: {
    entries: {
      "instagram-poster": {
        env: {
          IG_USERNAME: "your_username",
          IG_PASSWORD: "your_password"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

How it works

1. Launches a stealth browser with a Romanian residential IP (via human-browser)
2. Logs into Instagram as a real iPhone user — passes all bot checks
3. Uploads your image and submits the caption
4. Saves session cookies so you stay logged in

Requirements

• human-browser skill installed
• Human Browser subscription (residential proxy) → humanbrowser.dev
• Instagram account credentials

Agent usage example

User: Post this sunset photo to Instagram with caption "Golden hour 🌅"
Agent: node {baseDir}/scripts/post.js --image /tmp/sunset.jpg --caption "Golden hour 🌅"
