How to upload a picture to instagram using windows+python+selenium?

Question

Python

Good afternoon!
In short, I'm trying to make a post with a picture on instagram on a bunch of windows + selenium + python. I
stumbled at the moment when a window pops up to select a picture on a local disk

. Google offers something like the following options
1 - find the type field <input type="file">and send the path to the downloaded file there via sendKeys , and submit the form
2 - modify the html and add the form itself to submit the image and submit it yourself...
3 - use pyautogui and interact with the windows loading window

I failed with all 3 methods
1st method requires the presence of such a field - I could not find it is in the source code of the page, apparently everything is intercepted by javascript and everything itself is fart
2nd method - if you look at what Instagram sends when uploading an image - there is still a huge cloud of data, in addition to the file itself, it is sent - tried to send a POST request with approximately the same data - it didn’t work, you need an exact data set
Here is an example of what Instagram sends during a normal file upload

3 using pyautogui is also not so simple - as I understand it - pyautogui cannot understand which window is currently active, and cannot change focus - and without this, it remains only to blindly search for the field by coordinates and click in the hope that it hit the right place - in in general, there is little hope either.

I understand that asking for a ready-made code is too brazen, but could you comment on my problem and give advice on how to solve the problem or in which direction you can still dig
