insta-prune

Selenium-based tool to automate unfollowing every account from the Instagram profile john_appreciates. Built incrementally with Claude Code.

Location: ~/py/insta-prune/SetupScripts

Summary

Uses Firefox via Selenium with a real logged-in profile. Loops through the following list dialog, unfollows the first entry each iteration, saves profile URLs to a file, and stops when the following count hits zero.

Screenshots and HTML are saved at every step for debugging. A configurable pause (default 6s) between iterations avoids Instagram rate-limiting.
