How to use Instagram API in Python to upload images to my own account

I want to create a script where I can automatically upload images to my Instagram account. I've tried 3rd party packages (instapy-cli, InstagramAPI) but none of them work. I've signed up for Facebook developers but can't figure out how to use it in Python.

Use the instabot python library. The below function takes the username password image_path and description of your image in order to post it to Instagram. However, you cannot post multi-side/carousel posts with this code.

from instabot import Bot
import shutil
import os

def post(username, password , img , description):
    
    if os.path.exists('config'):
        shutil.rmtree('config')

    bot = Bot()
    bot.login(username = username, password = password)
    bot.upload_photo(img, caption = discription)
    os.rename(img+'.REMOVE_ME', img)
