Getting Started now Mohamad is comming

Clone the repository or download the source code.

Create a configuration file named config.json in the same directory as the script. The file should have the following structure:

{
  "instagram_business_account_id": "YOUR_BUSINESS_ACCOUNT_ID",
  "access_token": "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
}

Replace YOUR_BUSINESS_ACCOUNT_ID with your Instagram Business Account ID and YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN with your access token. Make sure to obtain the necessary permissions and generate the access token from the Facebook Developer Dashboard.

Create a parameters file named params.json in the same directory. This file should contain the parameters for each media type you want to publish. An example structure for publishing images:

{
  "media_types": {
    "IMAGES": {
      "image_url": "URL_TO_IMAGE",
      "is_carousel_item": false,
      "caption": "YOUR_IMAGE_CAPTION",
      "location_id": "OPTIONAL_LOCATION_ID",
      "user_tags": "OPTIONAL_USER_TAGS",
      "product_tags": "OPTIONAL_PRODUCT_TAGS"
    }
  }
}

Adjust the parameters accordingly for your specific use case.

Run the script by executing the following command in the terminal or command prompt:

python script.py

The script will initiate the content publishing process on Instagram based on the provided parameters.
