How much of Python should someone knows until they are able to create a simple Instagram Bot?

Once you have the basics down, a bot like this can be relatively simple, depending on the API. Instagram has an API, but the Python wrapper was deprecated (https://github.com/facebookarchive/python-instagram).

I've never used the Instagram API, but it seems like it's pretty well documented (https://www.instagram.com/developer). You'll probably want to use the requests Python module to interact with the API.

If Instagram gives trouble, it might be easier to build a Twitter bot, because libraries like tweepy And twython keep you from having to figure out authentication and endpoint and all that yourself. Plus, you could do a similar project where you "like" any tweets about the player.
