Is there any way to get the messages from thread(s) in real-time without making api call again & again?

Update: this shipped in instagrapi 2.8.0.

The new MQTT support is experimental and currently receive-oriented. It adds:

• Client.realtime_connect() / Client.realtime_disconnect() / Client.realtime_read_once() helpers
• RealtimeClient MQTToT transport and packet handling
• keepalive rt.ping() support
• proxy-aware realtime sockets using the configured Client.proxy
• rt.direct_subscribe() for Direct message sync events

Minimal Direct receive loop:

from instagrapi import Client

cl = Client()
cl.login(USERNAME, PASSWORD)


def handle_message(payload):
    print(payload)


cl.realtime_on("message", handle_message)
rt = cl.realtime_connect()
rt.direct_subscribe()

while True:
    rt.read_once()

For replies and actions, keep using the normal Direct HTTP helpers such as direct_send(), direct_answer(), direct_request_approve(), reactions, and media sends. MQTT direct-send actions, FBNS/background worker support, and richer typing/seen callbacks are still future work.
