Instagram Private API Client

instagram-private-api is a Node.js wrapper for the unofficial Instagram private API, providing programmatic access to various Instagram functionalities typically found in the official mobile applications. The current stable public version is 1.46.1. While it offers extensive features for interacting with Instagram, development for future major versions (e.g., v3.x.x) has transitioned to a private, paid monorepository, shifting active feature development away from this public npm package. This means the public package is primarily in a maintenance state, receiving minimal updates for new features. Key differentiators include its ability to mimic actual device behavior and handle session state, crucial for managing unofficial API interactions.
