Anonibot

Anonibot is a platform designed to facilitate anonymous sharing on Instagram. With Anonibot, users can express themselves freely without revealing their identity, allowing them to share secrets, thoughts, or messages anonymously with the world.

Features

• Anonymous Posting: Users can post messages anonymously without revealing their identity.
• Customization: Anonibot provides customization options, allowing users to customize the appearance of their posts with different themes, fonts, and sizes.
• Instagram Integration: The platform automatically uploads the customized posts to Instagram, making them visible to the public.
• Security Measures: Anonibot implements security measures to prevent spam and ensure the integrity of the platform, including IP checks and user blacklisting.

Technologies Used

Anonibot is built using the following technologies:

• Node.js: The backend server is built using Node.js, providing a robust and scalable infrastructure.
• Express: Anonibot utilizes the Express framework to handle HTTP requests and routing.
• AWS S3: Images generated by Anonibot are stored securely in an AWS S3 bucket.
• Instagram API: Anonibot integrates with the Instagram API to post images directly to Instagram.
• Canvas: Image creation is done using the Canvas library to dynamically generate images with customized text and styles.
• DynamoDB: User requests and blacklist data are stored in DynamoDB, ensuring efficient data management.

Usage

1. Preview Generation: Users can generate a preview of their post by sending a request with text, theme, font, and size parameters to the /getPreview endpoint.
2. Post Creation: To create a post, users send a request with text, theme, font, and size parameters to the /createPost endpoint. Anonibot automatically generates the image, uploads it to Instagram, and saves the user's request.
3. Admin Access: Administrators can access user requests and blacklist data through the /userRequests and /blacklist endpoints, respectively. These endpoints are protected with authentication to ensure only authorized access.

Anonibot provides a seamless and secure platform for users to share their thoughts and messages anonymously on Instagram.
