Can appium be used to automate any actions that can be done within the Instagram app?

I run a digital agency and I have been using automation tools like Follow Liker, FollowPlanner, MassPlanner and Jarvee to automate specific actions within Instagram, but these tools are not providing me with enough control.

Specifically, I would love to be able to scrape data from within instagram such as notifications and direct messages. I would like to be able to send DM’s. I use proxies that match my clients addresses, so this would need to be possible as well.

I am thinking a tool like this would be ideal but I don’t yet have enough knowledge to bridge the gap. I would be willing to hire someone to help walk me through some of this stuff!
