Uses the instagram_private_api library to access Instagram

pip install -r requirements.txt
The file config.json.example can optionally be copied to config.json, to define your username and password and change some default values:
username: Your Instagram username. Can also be entered when the script runs.password: Your Instagram username. Can also be entered when the script runs.date_threshold_str: The date after which your likes are being scanneds_min: The minimum time in seconds to wait before removing a likes_max: The maximum time in seconds to wait before removing a like
The values s_min and s_max are used to avoid rate limiting. If you want the script to run fast, you can set both values to 0.
Your account may receive a temporary lock, if you have many likes to remove.
When you enter your credentials while the script runs, they are only used once and will not be saved.
python unliker.py
The script scans for likes to users you do not follow, for posts after 1/9/2020 (the threshold can be configured in the parameter date_threshold_str in config.json).
It then shows the suspicious likes' users, and offers the option to exclude some users from removing likes to.
Finally, when you choose to proceed, all non-excluded suspicious likes are removed.
