        **insta_api** is a pythonic (unofficial) instagram client. It has been backwards
         engineered from the ground up. Currently it supports essential behavior such as liking,
         following other users, as well as posting photos.
        
        ## Installation
        
        To install simply do:
        
            $ pip install insta_api
        
        ## Example usage
        
        ### Getting started ###
        
        The first thing you should do is import the `insta_api` module
        
            from insta_api import insta_api
        
        Before moving on to the most interesting stuff you need to login:
        
            insta = InstaAPI(USERNAME, PASSWORD)
            insta.login()
        
        ### Usage ###
        
        ### Liking posts
        You can like any posts by either the shortcode. The shortcode can be obtained by
        looking at the URL of a post in the addressbar.
        
        It looks something like this `Bov3uZUFJRh`
        
            insta.like(shortcode)
        
        If you are a more advanced user, you may want to use the media_id instead, this
        will also work.
        
        ### Following users
        
        To follow an user you need 1 of two things: either their username or their unique user id
        
        For example, to like by username:
        
            insta.follow(my_username)
        
        ## And more...
        See the documentation for more info.
        
        ## Testing
        You must set up your own testing server, like Jenkins, for example. This is because
        instagram will block any of the online CI integration tools due to the nature of
        their dynamic IPs
        
        You should also configure your testing instagram credentials by adding the `INSTA_API_USER`
         and `INSTA_API_PASSWORD` environmental variables to your isolated testing system.
