Pynstagram is small python module and CLI tool that allows you to upload photo to Instagram.

pynstagram -u username -f ~/kittens/31415.jpg -t '#meow'

import pynstagram

with pynstagram.client('username', 'password') as client:
	client.upload('~/kittens/31415.jpg', '#meow')

pip install pynstagram

To use a line break in caption text you need to properly escape \n symbol. There are few options:

• Use $' . . . ' escaping.

pynstagram -u username -f ~/kittens/31415.jpg -t $'line\nbreak'

• Use multiline argument.

pynstagram -u username -f ~/kittens/31415.jpg -t "line
> break"

Disclaimer: Pynstagram uses private API of Instagram, there is no guaranty that this library will work in the future. Instagram may not like that you use private API.
