Scraper

The scraper tab allows you to perform any search / scrape you can think of and save the results to your save directory, accessed via HELP > SAVED DATA

Scrape Profiles Containing Emails

Use this function to load in a list of profile URLs and have InstaDUB scrape the emails including in the accounts' bio. This will happen via the instagram.com website, so to use proxies for this, to avoid getting an IP ban, click the proxies button and specify the proxies to use.

The number of threads can be set, allowing you to scrape more pages at once. Do be aware, more at once isn't always the best way, as if you don't use enough proxies to allow for the thread, you could get a block for doing too much too quick.

Update Accounts

../images/update_accounts.png

On this tab you can update your accounts' username, name, website, bio and avatar. TO update multiple accounts you can specify a selection of new values and check multiple accounts, the details will be used in sequence.

If the requested username is in use, you can specify that InstaDub is to use a suggested username from instagram, for this check the Similar Account Suggest

Daily stats

../images/daily_stats.png

A module that allows you to track what you account has been doing. Simply select your account and how often you want to scrape your stats (24 hours is probably the value you want - don't over do it). The most recent stats will be viewable in the accounts control, but clicking the View Stats button you will see all stats ever scraped for the account allowing you to track the followers / followings of your account along with posts made, actions performed in the previous 24 hours before the stats were scraped and much more. For those of you who want to do more stats analysis the stats can all be exported to CSV (or a date defined section of) for importing into any spreadsheet tool of your choice (excel, calc etc)

General search information on the General search and action page

Adv Pre Actions

Pre actions are actions you perform on the account or image before performing the main action. For example you can specify to follow the account before reposting the image, you can specify to like the 4 most recent images of the account before. For more information on Adv Pre-Actions, please see that section.

../images/pre_actions.png

The three pre actions that are possible are:

  • Follow
  • Like
  • Comment

For like and comments, you can specify to process more than 1 item. Selecting 5, will mean you like the 5 most recent images of the user.

Spintax

Spintax is a way of adding randomness to your text / messages / captions / inputs. It is a standard notation of:

{opt1|opt2|opt3|...|optn}

When the text is processed, one of the options specified between "pipes" | will be selected:

{Hello|Hi|Hey|Howdy} there my friend

The above could be: "Hi there my friend"

Watch Folder Image Poster

The Watch Folder Uploader action, is very similar to the Upload Specified Images from a Folder method, the difference being the action is a "long lasting" action, meaning it will continually "watch" the specified folder and then upload any files added to it. This is a particularly powerful function when combined with scrapers which are downloading and adding images to the folder,

The majority of the image options are the same as the Upload Specified Images module, so for information on those see that section. We will just cover the "watch folder" specific options here

InstaDUB Promo

A promo module to help you get your Instagram promotions underway. The promo module will create standard actions to promote your account: follow, like and comments (optional). The default values will be chosen for you - everything will be chosen for you - just enter your niche / keywords and be underway. All the actions created are what you can create in the app yourself, so once you have got to grips with the app, you can customise your actions to be more suited to your account, your target audience and get even better results

Keywords

Enter the keywords related to your account. These will be used in hash tag searches to find accounts / medias to action on.

Search and Action Modules

Several of the action tabs are of a similar appearance and fundamentally work the same way. These are

  • Like
  • Follow
  • Comment
  • Repost

These modules work by you specifying a search that will be used to find some items (either accounts or images) that will be actioned upon (followed / liked / commented etc)

The search action tabs will all contain the following options

Search Input box Pre-defined search dropdown Custom Search Builder option Adv Pre-Actions Filter (either image filter / user filter) Ability to whitelist items Random Pause Repeat Hours / minutes Number of repeats Max Repeats per day Threading Max Actions Fluctuate +- Scheduler (along with daily runner option) Share across accounts Unique items per account

Unlike

../images/unlike.png

Unlike (hehe) the unfollow module, there is only one option present to allow you to unlike the media you have previously liked. This is Bot likes only. This is because Instagram does not provide a way to scrape the posts you have liked. So it is bot like or nothing I'm afraid.

Do not unlike if following you: Do not unlike posts if the user is following you.

Standard Search Action Parameters

Random Pause:

Specify a minimum and maximum value, after actioning an item the action will pause for a random amount between the specified minimum and maximum values.
