Auto posting TO instagram - rss

Does anyone know of a way to auto post TO Instagram as opposed to from it? Google is useless at this, only pages on how to create auto posts from your Instagram page. The popular RSS auto-post Apps such as RSS Graffiti, Dlvr.it and Hootsuite do not seem able to.
My website updates with "reports" throughout the day. Each report has an image. Once the report is added I use the RSS Apps above to autopost to Facebook and Twitter. Seems to not be possible to do it with Instagram. I have a hard time believing so.
Anyone got any tips here?

I'm sorry to say I don't think that's possible. From the API documentation:
At this time, uploading via the API is not possible. We made a
conscious choice not to add this for the following reasons:
Instagram is about your life on the go – we hope to encourage photos
from within the app. However, in the future we may give whitelist
access to individual apps on a case by case basis.
We want to fight
spam & low quality photos. Once we allow uploading from other sources,
it's harder to control what comes into the Instagram ecosystem. All
this being said, we're working on ways to ensure users have a
consistent and high-quality experience on our platform.

chatbot window in R Shiny

I would like to create chatbot window. I found perfect version on AdminLTE page (link: https://adminlte.io/themes/AdminLTE/index2.html -> Direct Chat or Chat). The main problem is that I want to have posibility to send message and have history of that to end of session. Does anyone know how to do that? I spent a lot of time by searching internet, but unfortunately I haven't found anything a bit similiar.
Personally, I really like using https://chatra.io/ on my website with ShinyApps. There is no need for you to develop anything and it's free with 1 agent.
On top of that, I use cloudflare as I was getting tired of referrer spam and it comes as a plugin and easy to use, note that Cloudflare offers other chat plugins also so you can choose. Below is an example of one of my apps from my website

Automated Shopify analytics email

I'm looking in the possibility to send automated website performance emails to clients from a Shopify or Google Analytics API for their own website I manage. It must include metrics like sales, visitors, conversion rate etc.. basically what's available on the Shopify dashboard.
As a designer with html/css skills only, I am unsure about the scope of what I am asking, could I get this done for a couple of hundred dollars or is this something that requires extensive programming?
Compass delivers a similiar service as i'm looking for, I need that with personal branding.
Go to analytics, then navigate to customization > Dashboards. There you may set up some sophisticated reports and schedule regular emails with 'advansced options' by pressing 'email' button when a dashboard is ready.

Protect Website Against Piracy

I have a membership website where I sell video content but I have found out that users are downloading the content. Although I had tried Amazon with cloudfront and firewall and now moved to vimeo pro, users are always able to download the content using various extensions for chrome or firefox.
Is there a way that the website can detect such extensions and prevent the user from accessing the website? Maybe an overlay with a message would do the trick.
The website is in Wordpress, so any plugin or code would be highly appreciated.
Thanks for your help!
The simple answer is that there is really no effective way to stop people downloading your videos, if you want them to be able to actually view them.
You can authenticate users and control access that way but even this does not stop authenticated users copying and sharing the video.
The usual approach is to accept it will be downloaded and use an encryption mechanism along with a key exchange mechanism which means that only people with the proper rights can see it - this is what the common DRM systems do.
Even with this, your protection level will depend on what you need to protect - if the video is an entertainment video and you just don't want people viewing it for free then this is likely a good enough solution for you. If your video contains sensitive information, e.g. company data etc, that you don't want anyone to know at all then even this won't stop someone simply pointing a camera at the screen and getting (albeit a low quality) copy.

Copy information from external website to my website

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask and if it is, please do let me know where best to do so.
I want to write a script that will pull data from website B (external site, not owned by myself) and display that data on website A (site owned by myself).
Now, I know how to do this programmatically and so my question is more about the legalities of the approach.
For example, Twitter provides API access so that you can embed tweets or a twitter feed into your page. The sites that I would like to pull data from may or may not have such APIs and so I would have to write a scraper.
Am I allowed to scrape information from websites and display it on my own site? I will of course make it absolutely clear where the information has come from; I do not intend to use any information and claim that is is my own.
I think this is generally frowned upon, as you are basically doing the same as copying a CD putting your own label on it and selling it to others (i.e. taking someone else's stuff and pretending it's your own). I suppose it depends on the licence of the web site you are scraping. If the web site provides an API (like Twitter), then they probably allow copying.
