Instagram Warm-up Bot Developer (Automation Without API)

📝 Project Description:

I’m looking for a developer to build an automated Instagram warm-up bot that simulates human behavior on a fresh or inactive Instagram account — without using the official API — over a period of 7 to 14 days, followed by a lighter long-term routine.

⚠️ Important: No use of Instagram’s official API. The bot must operate via mobile browser simulation or native app automation.

⸻

🎯 Bot Objectives:
1. Warm-up phase (7–14 days):
• Auto-likes (hashtags, explore, profiles)
• Follows/Unfollows
• View and post stories
• Post regular photo/content
• Passive browsing (scrolling feed, reels, explore, stories)
2. Post warm-up phase (infinite duration):
• Lighter daily activity (2–5 likes/day, occasional story/post, browsing)

⸻

🧱 Preferred Technical Approaches:
• Option A (preferred for speed): Mobile browser automation (Playwright or Selenium with iPhone simulation)
• Option B (more advanced): Appium + Android emulator controlling the native Instagram app

⸻

🔧 Required Features:
• Daily scheduler with micro-sessions
• Human-like simulation (random delays, scrolling, swipes, real time windows)
• Configuration via .env, config.json, or basic UI
• Support for rotating residential proxies (if possible)
• Simple activity logging

⸻

🖥️ Bonus (nice to have, not mandatory):
• Minimal user interface (Streamlit, Tkinter, or basic dashboard)
• Auto-selection of stories/posts from folders
• Editable activity calendar (define active/inactive days)

⸻

👨‍💻 Skills Required:
• Python (Playwright / Selenium / Appium)
• Browser or mobile automation
• Experience with Instagram automation and anti-detection logic
• Clean, modular code structure and clear documentation

⸻

📦 Deliverables:
• Full source code (documented)
• Organized file structure (config, logs, assets)
• Setup instructions
• Test with a demo account (not my real account)

⸻

📩 Please include in your reply:
• Your proposed technical approach (browser vs emulator)
• Estimated delivery time
• Indicative price
