Currently support functionality:

- Log into Instagram
- Handle the mobile app related popups


Planned functionality in upcoming release(s):

- Return all posts from Home page


Example usage:

.. code-block:: python

    from selenium import webdriver

    from instabrade import Instagram

    my_username = "my username"
    my_password = "my password"

    driver = webdriver.Chrome()

    try:
        # Instantiate the object
        # - This also loads instagram's URL
        ig = Instagram(driver)

        # Click the "Log in" link to display the login fields
        ig.log_in_page.log_in_link_click()

        # Fill in the username and password fields
        ig.log_in_page.log_in_username = my_username
        ig.log_in_page.log_in_password = my_password

        # Click the Log In button
        ig.log_in_page.log_in_button_click()

    finally:
        driver.quit()

Instabrade is page-aware. If you attempt to interact with a property or method
for a page that isn't currently loaded, a WrongPageError exception will get
thrown:
