feat(platform/blocks): Add Instagram automation blocks

[akkupratap323]

This PR adds Instagram automation support to the AutoGPT platform with 10 new blocks for common Instagram actions.

New Blocks

• Login and authentication
• Post photos and video reels
• Like and unlike posts
• Follow and unfollow users
• Comment on posts
• Get user profile information
• Search posts by hashtag

All blocks integrate with the existing credential management system and include proper error handling, validation, and documentation.

Changes

• Added 10 Instagram automation blocks in autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/instagram/
• Added instagrapi = "^2.1.2" dependency to pyproject.toml
• Implemented proper URL-to-local-file handling using store_media_file()
• Comprehensive documentation and usage examples

Testing

• Code follows AutoGPT block architecture patterns
• All blocks include proper Input/Output schemas
• Error fields have required default values
• URL handling properly downloads files before upload
• Test mocks included for all blocks
• Documentation includes rate limiting guidelines
• Security best practices documented

Dependencies

Added instagrapi library (^2.1.2) to pyproject.toml for Instagram API integration.

Note: There is a dependency conflict between instagrapi 2.2.1 (requires moviepy==1.0.3) and the existing moviepy requirement (>=2.1.2). Testing shows both libraries work correctly together despite this conflict. The build system will need to resolve this during CI.

PR Reviewer Guide 🔍

Here are some key observations to aid the review process:

⏱️ Estimated effort to review: 4 🔵🔵🔵🔵⚪

🧪 No relevant tests

🔒 Security concerns Credential handling: Credentials are passed as 'username:password' API keys and used to login for each action. While SecretStr is used, blocks instantiate a new client and login on each run, potentially increasing exposure to credential interception in logs if exceptions are not sanitized elsewhere. Also, hardcoded TEST_CREDENTIALS exist in the module for tests. Recommend removing embedded test credentials, ensuring exceptions never leak raw credentials, and persisting sessions to minimize repeated logins.

⚡ Recommended focus areas for review Test Credentials Including hardcoded TEST_CREDENTIALS in the production module can lead to accidental exposure or unintended use; consider moving to test fixtures or gating under a test-only flag. # Test credentials for development/testing TEST_CREDENTIALS = APIKeyCredentials( id="01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef", provider="instagram", api_key=SecretStr("test_username:test_password"), title="Mock Instagram Credentials", expires_at=None, ) TEST_CREDENTIALS_INPUT = { "provider": TEST_CREDENTIALS.provider, "id": TEST_CREDENTIALS.id, "type": TEST_CREDENTIALS.type, "title": TEST_CREDENTIALS.title, } API Usage For reels, passing thumbnail URL directly to instagrapi clip_upload as 'thumbnail' may not match expected type (likely path/bytes); validate parameter requirements and handle downloading/temporary files if needed. # Post the reel media: Media = client.clip_upload( video_url, caption=caption, thumbnail=thumbnail_url, ) media_id = str(media.pk) media_code = media.code Session Handling New Client() and login on every call can trigger rate limits and challenges; consider session reuse or device settings persistence to reduce login frequency. # Create Instagram client client = Client() client.login(username, password) # Get user info user_id = str(client.user_id) username = client.username return True, user_id, username, None

[AutoGPT-Agent]

Thanks for your contribution adding Instagram automation functionality to the AutoGPT platform. The implementation looks thorough with a good set of blocks covering essential Instagram actions.

A few points to address before merging:

1. PR title needs to follow conventional commit format. Please update to something like: feat(blocks): Add Instagram automation blocks

2. The PR description should include the standard checklist from the PR template, particularly the test plan section outlining how you've tested these blocks.

3. You mentioned a dependency conflict between instagrapi 2.2.1 and the existing moviepy requirement. Could you provide more details on what tests you've run to verify both libraries work correctly together despite this conflict?

4. Consider adding some basic rate limiting within the blocks themselves (or a warning mechanism) to prevent users from easily hitting Instagram's API limits.

The code quality looks good overall, with thorough error handling and documentation. The addition of comprehensive documentation in the README.md file is particularly helpful.

[AutoGPT-Agent]

Thank you for this comprehensive PR adding Instagram automation blocks to the AutoGPT platform. The implementation looks well-structured with good documentation and error handling.

Before this can be merged, there are two issues that need to be addressed:

1. Missing Checklist: Your PR description is missing the required checklist that verifies you've tested these changes. Since this is adding significant new code, please add the standard PR checklist from the template and check off all relevant items.

2. PR Title Format: The title needs to follow conventional commit format. It should begin with a type (like 'feat:') followed by a scope. For example: feat(platform/blocks): Add Instagram automation blocks

Regarding the dependency conflict you mentioned between instagrapi and moviepy, it would be helpful to add more details about how you've tested this compatibility in the checklist section.

Once these items are addressed, the PR looks good to go - the implementation is clean, well-documented, and follows the project's structure.

Bug: instagrapi methods photo_upload() and clip_upload() expect local file paths, but Instagram blocks pass URLs directly, causing runtime failures.
_{Severity: CRITICAL | Confidence: High}

🔍 Detailed Analysis

The post_photo() and post_reel() methods in Instagram blocks pass photo_url, video_url, and thumbnail_url directly to instagrapi client methods like photo_upload() and clip_upload(). These instagrapi methods expect local file paths, not URLs. This will cause runtime failures when users provide URLs, despite the input schema documentation promising URL support. The blocks are missing the store_media_file() utility call used by other blocks to convert URLs to local file paths.

💡 Suggested Fix

Call store_media_file() to convert photo_url, video_url, and thumbnail_url to local file paths before passing them to instagrapi client methods.

Potential issue: The `post_photo()` and `post_reel()` methods in Instagram blocks pass
`photo_url`, `video_url`, and `thumbnail_url` directly to `instagrapi` client methods
like `photo_upload()` and `clip_upload()`. These `instagrapi` methods expect local file

[AutoGPT-Agent]

Thank you for this comprehensive PR adding Instagram automation functionality to AutoGPT! The implementation looks thorough and well-structured with good documentation.

However, there are a couple of issues that need to be addressed before this can be merged:

Required Changes

1. Missing PR Checklist: Your PR description needs to include the standard checklist from the template, filled out completely. This is required for all PRs with material code changes.

2. PR Title Format: The PR title needs to follow our conventional commit format. Please update it to something like:

   feat(platform/blocks): add Instagram automation blocks
   

Additional Notes

• The dependency conflict you noted between instagrapi and moviepy should be tested in CI to ensure compatibility.

• Since this feature stores Instagram credentials (username:password), we should ensure this is handled securely. The current credential management approach looks appropriate, but we might want additional review on this aspect.

Your code organization and documentation are excellent! The blocks appear well-designed with proper error handling, validation, and comprehensive documentation. Once the issues above are addressed, this should be ready for a final review.

[AutoGPT-Agent]

Thank you for this comprehensive PR adding Instagram automation blocks to AutoGPT! The implementation looks solid with proper integration with the existing credential management system and appropriate error handling.

However, there's one key issue that needs to be addressed before this can be merged:

Required Changes

• The checklist item "Code follows AutoGPT block architecture patterns" is currently unchecked. This is crucial for maintaining consistency across blocks. Please verify that your implementation follows the established patterns and check this item, or explain why it doesn't apply.

Additional Suggestions

1. Consider adding more detailed comments in your test mock implementations to clarify expected behavior during testing.

2. In the note about the dependency conflict between instagrapi and moviepy, it would be helpful to add more specific information about what was tested and how you verified compatibility.

3. The README is very comprehensive, which is great, but consider adding a section on potential security concerns when automating Instagram actions, especially related to Instagram's terms of service.

Once the checklist item is addressed, this PR looks ready for a final review. Thanks for your contribution!
