Automate Instagram

Turn the repetitive Instagram work you do by hand (open a profile, read recent posts and metrics) into a workflow Writ runs for you, on your own account, on a schedule or on demand.

why

Stop doing Instagram by hand

The Instagram tasks you repeat (open a profile, read recent posts and metrics, export results) are exactly the kind of work a computer should do. But Instagram has no general public API, and the flow runs behind a login and dynamic pages. Instagram's Graph API is limited to business and creator accounts you manage; there is no general API for profile and post browsing.

Writ closes that gap. Record the Instagram task once (or describe it to an AI session) and Writ runs it for you in a real browser, on your own account. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

Instagram tasks Writ can run for you

Each of these is a real Instagram action, captured into a workflow and run on your own account.

{ }open a profile
{ }read recent posts and metrics
{ }export results

Workflows extract structured fields such as post caption, likes, comment count, follower count along the way: typed data you can route anywhere.

Three ways to build your Instagram automation

Pick whichever fits the task. All three produce the same workflow Writ can run for you.

✦Record itDo the Instagram task once in a real browser (open a profile, then read recent posts and metrics) and the recorder captures every step into a reusable workflow.
✦Describe it to AITell an AI session your goal on Instagram in plain language; it drives the live page and builds the workflow for you, no recording needed.
✦Discover itLet API discovery watch Instagram's own network calls as you browse, then turn the underlying requests into a fast, headless workflow.

Built on the same engine as the recorder and workflows, with 30+ step types.

Login, 2FA, and dynamic pages on Instagram

The reason Instagram is tedious to automate is the same reason most tools can't. Writ handles it.

Writ signs into your own Instagram account through a Persona with 2FA and operates inside that authenticated session.

Run the Instagram automation on your terms

On a schedule, on demand, or the instant something changes. You choose the trigger.

✦On a scheduleRun the Instagram task every hour, every morning, or any cadence. No one has to remember to do it.
✦On demandTrigger a single run from the dashboard, a webhook, your code, or an AI agent, whenever you need it.
✦On a changeWatch Instagram for new post from an account or follower-count change and fire the automation the instant it happens.
  1. 1
    Build the Instagram workflow once

    Record the task, describe it to AI, or discover it from the network. Writ captures each step, including login and 2FA, into a workflow you can edit.

  2. 2
    Run it on your terms

    Run it on demand, on a schedule, or fire it from a Monitor when Instagram changes. It runs on your own Instagram account, in a real browser.

  3. 3
    Call it from anything

    The same workflow is a REST endpoint at /v1/instagram/run and an MCP tool, so your code, a no-code tool, or an AI agent can trigger the Instagram automation too.

Trigger the Instagram automation on a change

Monitor Instagram for new post from an account, follower-count change, engagement threshold and run your workflow the moment it happens.

Monitors check as fast as every 10s (10s on Enterprise). A detected change becomes a trigger that runs your Instagram automation in seconds. Monitor Instagram ▸

Local / BYO agent

No compute charge. The agent runs on your hardware, so it can reach Instagram even from an intranet or VPN-only network, and your AI keys never leave your machine.

The same Instagram automation is an API and an MCP tool

Automating Instagram for yourself and calling it from software are the same workflow. Once you have it, publish it as a REST endpoint at/v1/instagram/run and a matching MCP tool, so your code or an AI agent can trigger the Instagram task too.

Automating Instagram: questions

How do I automate Instagram?
Record the Instagram task once in the recorder (open a profile, read recent posts and metrics, export results) or describe your goal to an AI session. Writ turns it into a workflow it can run for you on a schedule or on demand, on your own Instagram account. It usually takes minutes, not a backend project.
Is it allowed to automate Instagram this way?
Use Writ on your own Instagram account and on content you are authorized to access. Respect its Terms of Use. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.
Does Instagram automation work behind login and 2FA?
Writ signs into your own Instagram account through a Persona with 2FA and operates inside that authenticated session. Writ handles TOTP and mailbox-OTP two-factor through Personas, so the automation runs inside your own authenticated Instagram session.
Can I run the Instagram automation without writing code?
Yes. Recording and AI sessions need no code at all. If you do want to trigger it from software, the same workflow is a REST endpoint and an MCP tool, but that is optional.
Where does it run, and what does it cost?
Run it on your own machine with a local or BYO agent for no compute charge, useful when Instagram is only reachable from your network or VPN. Or run it on metered cloud at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage. Start free.
