Linux and macOS, no Docker. It uses your Python and pipx when both are there, and otherwise brings its own Python. About otlite · otlite docs

Before you run it

Dual-use. otlite prints this before installing it: You are solely responsible for how you use these tools and for complying with all applicable laws. Use them only on targets you are authorized to investigate.
Asks questions while it runs. Run it on its own in a terminal; otlite run --all, otlite auto and playbooks skip it.
Runs until you stop it. It monitors its target continuously and doesn't exit, so batch runs never start it.

What it takes

Typed inputs after -- become Instagram Monitor's own arguments. Anything else after -- passes through unchanged, so every option of the tool still works.

Input	With otlite	`instagram_monitor` receives
Username`u:`	`otlite run instagram-monitor -- u:johndoe`	`instagram_monitor johndoe`

What a run leaves

Every run is saved under results/ where you run otlite (or --output, or OTLITE_RESULTS_DIR): what the tool printed, a sidecar with how it ran, and an envelope.

results/instagram-monitor/johndoe/<time>_instagram-monitor_johndoe_<run id>.txt
results/instagram-monitor/johndoe/<time>_instagram-monitor_johndoe_<run id>.meta.json
results/instagram-monitor/johndoe/<time>_instagram-monitor_johndoe_<run id>.envelope.json

{
  "envelope": 1,
  "tool": "instagram-monitor@4.0.2",
  "runtime": "otlite",
  "input": { "target": "johndoe" },
  "case": null,
  "started_at": "…", "ended_at": "…", "duration_ms": …,
  "exit_code": 0,
  "status": "complete",
  "entities": [{ "type": "url", "value": "…" }, …],
  "warnings": [],
  "output": { "path": "results/instagram-monitor/johndoe/<time>_instagram-monitor_johndoe_<run id>.txt", "sha256": "…", "bytes": … }
}

The envelope's shape, the same for every tool; values elided. Its entities are the emails, domains, IP addresses and URLs found in the output, or the tool's own when it prints them.

otlite results --tool instagram-monitor

otlite extract instagram-monitor

otlite diff instagram-monitor johndoe

List the saved runs, pull out every indicator, or compare the two latest runs against the same target.

With other tools

Batch runs skip it: asks questions while it runs; run it on its own.
