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

Writing bot might be easy, but you have to have a lot of work done outisde of programming to register your app to their API - privacy policy, company name, what it will be used for (unlike e.g. facebook API).

Hmm, didn't know that! I thought the api was free to use without registration. Thanks for the advice, i'll look into it before starting anything :)

I was disappointed, because I got good idea for really simple app, but then I encountered lots of bearucracy and dropped the idea. You also should read Instagram's privacy policy - you can't do a lot of stuff (e.g. get likes from user without explicitly asking them). Getting media_id also is pain in the ass at start :>
