Google Chrome script that allows user to mass like instagram posts, automatically presses "next" and likes post.

like-post-instagram.js

// Run GOOGLE CHROME - WORKING AS OF MARCH 23 2025
// Please @ me in the comments if this stops working, I will try to get it working again within the month

// INSTRUCTIONS
// 1. Open Instagram in Chrome
// 2. Search for a hashtag (eg. https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/hikingadventures/)
// 3. Click on a photo to reveal the like button as well as arrows for navigating between photos
// 3. Open developer tools by right clicking on the page and clicking "INSPECT"
// 4. Copy the code below and paste in the developer tools console and press enter to run
// 5. Script will not run if tab is navigated away from, minimized of unfocused (It is recommended to open a new chrome window or push tab to the side and let script run in background)

// SCRIPT WILL CLICK ON "LIKE" BUTTON AND THEN NAVIGATE TO THE FOLLOWING POST

const likeAndClickPosts = (async () => {
  // Modify these variables to your liking
  const LIKE_LIMIT = 800;

  const BREAK_DURATION = 5 * 60 * 1000; // 5 minutes break

  const TOTAL_DURATION = 10 * 60 * 1000; // 10 minutes duration - Timeout after 10 minutes

  const delay = (ms) => new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, ms));

  console.log("Start like posts script...");

  let startTime = new Date().getTime();

  while (new Date().getTime() - startTime < TOTAL_DURATION) {
    for (let i = 0; i < LIKE_LIMIT; i++) {
      // GET LIKE BUTTON
      const firstLike = document
        .querySelector('svg[aria-label="Like"]')
        .closest('[role="button"]');
      if (firstLike) {
        // SCROLL LIKE BUTTON INTO VIEW
        firstLike.scrollIntoViewIfNeeded();

        firstLike.click();
        console.log("Clicked like button...\n");
      }

      await delay(100);
      // CLICK PAGINATION ARROW
      const nextArrow = document
        .querySelector('svg[aria-label="Next"]')
        .closest('[type="button"]');
      if (nextArrow) {
        await nextArrow.click();
      }

      // Increase LIKE_INTERVAL and/or BREAK_DURATION if you are getting rate limited
      const LIKE_INTERVAL = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10 + 1) * 5000; // Set this to 0 to like as many posts as quickly as possible - not recommended

      console.log(
        `Wait ${Math.floor(Math.random() * 10 + 1) * 5000} milliseconds`
      );
      await delay(LIKE_INTERVAL);
      console.log(`Liked #${i + 1} post(s) so far...`);
    }

    console.log(`Taking a break for ${BREAK_DURATION / 1000} seconds...`);
    await delay(BREAK_DURATION); // Take a break to avoid rate limiting
    startTime = new Date().getTime(); // Reset start time for the next cycle
  }

  console.log("Like script complete!");
})();

Update: This script should be working again as of March 23 2025.
