title: Programatically upload pictures on Instagram workaround
body: <p>How do services like posts.so, gramblr and picturelife post pictures on Instagram programatically?</p>
  
  <p>I know the Instagram API is limited and doesn't let you do this, but is there a workaround? There must be since all these services are doing it.</p>
  
  <p>Links to the services:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://posts.so/" rel="nofollow">https://posts.so/</a></p>
  
  <p><a href="http://gramblr.com/uploader/" rel="nofollow">http://gramblr.com/uploader/</a></p>
  
  <p>They possibly store your Instagram password in their DB then use it to login and use the cookie? That sounds very scary and very illegal.</p>
