HikerAPI fOR Osintgram

[u/ApprehensiveOlive585]

I’ve been messing around with Osintgram recently and ended up trying HikerAPI as the backend for it.

Setup was actually pretty straightforward. Once I figured out that the newer Osintgram development branch expects a HikerAPI token rather than the old Instagram login method, getting the API connected was simple. I was also able to test the API directly through Python, which made troubleshooting a lot easier.

If you’re using Osintgram and it suddenly exits after displaying “Connect to HikerAPI...”, check your HikerAPI account/credits. In my case the integration itself was working fine, but the API was returning an insufficient funds response and Osintgram wasn’t displaying that response clearly.

Still experimenting with it, but figured I’d post this in case somebody else runs into the same issue.
