After figuring out how to use asyncio and aiohttp I made an Instagram checker that is exponentially faster than the previous one I posted. If you are getting timed out change 'conns=50' to something lower.

PHP Code


<?php 
Usage
instagram_checker.py -u 'username' -p 'password' -i 'usernames.txt' -o 'output.txt'

Genuinely smiled at this.

I can't wait for people to get butthurt and flame ITT because they're not cool enough to learn asyncio.

Hey, it's harder than it looks 😊😝

Can you do this for c# ? :)

There's actually a library called aiofiles which is used for asynchronous file I/O. Check it out! 🤝

Usage would be something like:

PHP Code


<?php 
import aiofiles

async def get_usernames(inputfile):
    async with aiofiles.open(inputfile, "r") as f:
        usernames = await f.read()
        return usernames.split("\n")

Any specific reason for this? If you are trying to learn it, I can always try it out but if you are looking for speed and functionality, this isn't going to change that much for such a small program.

Let me know and I can always take a crack at it when I am free!

Although this is useful for some, what would this due for this? I am assuming it would read the file faster?

I'll have to check it out though ✌

It'll mainly help to make your program more asynchronous, it's great if you're writing to a file while making requests, which I'm assuming your program will do.

The reason is i want to learn how these things works ^_^ i'm not looking for speed and functionality, thanks in advance buddy 🤝

Yea it does, after getting a response it writes to a file if the response contains the right data. Right now I have it just open the file as an appendable file because AFAIK opening a file multiple times isn't bad but writing can be.

Yea sure, I don't know anything abuot C# but I've read it's similar to java which I know a bit about. I'll take a look into it over the weekend!

Very nice code man, I am trying to learn asyncio as well but one thing I don't understand in your code is why you have the loop set to None in the start_check function?

Keep up the good work

Code

async def start_check(igname, igpass, conns=50, loop=None):
    sem = asyncio.BoundedSemaphore(conns)
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession(loop=loop) as session:
        await login(igname, igpass, session)
        usernames = get_usernames(inputfile)
        tasks = [check_usernames(igname, igpass, username, sem, session, loop=loop) for username in usernames]
        await asyncio.gather(*tasks)

What I do is something like this:

PHP Code


<?php 
async def coro(a, b, *, loop=None):
    loop = loop or asyncio.get_event_loop() 


This (or similar) is at the beginning of most asyncio functions. If no loop is explicitly provided, it will get the one defined in the current thread (each thread can have one loop defined and, by default, only the main thread has an event loop defined.

Ah, that cleared things up. Thanks for the explanation

Does this also work to see if an email is in use or is not in use? Thanks in advance.
