added dm'ing myself along with generation for device fingerprints based off of device presets.
Going to add better session resuming logic and caching of data/missing requests for pre/post login flow as well tomorrow,

• I don't intend to support any of the messaging functions at present. You're welcomed to maintain your own fork with these functions though
• Also no intention to support 2FA
• I don't know what you mean by device fingerprints
• In my experience (having used the private api for almost 2 years now), the pre/post login calls don't seem to matter, which is why I haven't focused on them

Why not make another Branch where he do the DM stuff? because i see no other python api have them and i really want to make a dm bot.

This repo is MIT licensed. So a fork is where you can do whatever you want, including the "dm stuff" if you so wish.

People making dm or spam bots is precisely the kind of thing I don't care for or will support in any form.

from instagram_private_api.

yeah but having the dm functions implemented into the main repo instead of a fork is better.

plus i won't use it for spamming.

It makes no sense to have code in my repo that I will not maintain, answer questions, or support in any way.

You don't even need a fork, just make another Mixin for the DM functions and patch it into the Client class.

Unless they require a bunch of extra data that Client's init doesn't provide.
