I am learning python. What do you need to write a program to work with instagram?

Question

Python

Good day! I read Lutz's book - learning pyhton3. And throughout the book I thought, why should I? Many people say that learning and understanding happens while writing code. Until now, I had no idea what to write on it, except for a calculator. But suddenly I decided to try to write a program for instagram that could follow hashtags and follow people. And then the question arises, how to do it? What else do you need to read/learn? I have no programming experience at all. I know at the basic level html/css/php (once in my youth I dabbled with a local server).
As I understand it, the first thing to do is to deal with the instagram API, perhaps some libraries. But what? Thanks for your time!
