Implement a method for uploading videos

[skiesx]

Hi, @stanvanrooy )
Do you plan to implement video uploading?

[stanvanrooy]

Will be next up on the to-do list. That means it should be published to PyPI in 1-2 days.

[stanvanrooy]

Working on it :) If you watch this issue, you'll be notified as soon as it's published.

Sorry for the delay. I have a working version now, for videos of a small size. I'm still working on uploading longer/larger videos in phases.

thx for this update
do you have an example code for posting a video?
and can you tell more about the small size? what are the limits...

[stanvanrooy]

The method I had already implemented will be deprecated by ig, so I'll discard that work.

I've started work on segmented video uploads, should be ready soon.

Using it will be the same as the other methods.

[stanvanrooy]

Possibly, but the flow for uploading a video in segments is pretty simple, but for some reason, ig doesn't accept the first request to the /media/rupload_igvideo/{uuid4}?segmented=true&phase=start endpoint.

It always returns a 404. I'll push my code and the requests that need to be sent to a branch tonight.

Well, I found out what triggered the 404... the upload url is https://i.instagram.com/rupload_igvideo/ and not https://i.instagram.com/api/v1/rupload_igvideo/ :)

Awesome man, why are you starting a new codebase when you have ping/instagram_private_api?

I did implement one of your methods to upload images there that has been deprecated, and it works. You could tweak that client and have tons of functionalities like post search and a lot more already done.
