As the name implies, an interpreter for running puppeteer functions. Instead of writing any code, this takes a "workflow", in pseudo-JSON.

Puppeteer out of the box requires some other pieces to work efficiently, those other pieces often includes a lot of boiler code or extra libraries that add heft to a project. Pinterpreter aims to be the middle man that consolidates all of them and make puppeteer dead simple to take advantage of.

• The usage of package-able "workflows" to replace writing code.
• Simple headless detection avoidance.
• Cookies saving and loading from '.cookies' file.
• The ability to use the user's browser instead of the internal one (for easier authentication etc).

You'll need "npm" for this:

npm i instagram-private-api

1. Import "Pinterpreter":

const pinterpreter = require('pinterpreter');

2. Import your workflow(s):

const { EXAMPLE_WORKFLOW } = require('./path/to/workflow/');

3. Launch the browser:

const browserController = new pinterpreter.BrowserController();

const browser = await browserController.launch({
	foo: bar,
});

Note: The browser will run in headless mode by default, so it's normal if you don't see anything happening.

4. Run!

const workflowPerformer = new pinterpreter.WorkflowPerformer();

await workflowPerformer.setBrowserController(browserController);
await workflowPerformer.perform(EXAMPLE_WORKFLOW, {
	foo: bar,
});

5. Finally, end it:

await browserController.end();

Refer to the API docs for more information, including how to set up your own workflows and other ways you can launch your browser.
