How do I listen for a DM and respond? The docs are not very easy to navigate for new users.

Code

A meaningful section of your code (else delete this). If you are using TypeScript replace js with typescript.

const { IgApiClient } = require("instagram-private-api");
const ig = new IgApiClient();

const { username, password } = process.env;
console.log(username, password);

;(async (file) => {
  ig.state.generateDevice(username);
  await ig.account.login(username, password);
  /* What do I do here? */
})();

The reason you didn't find something is because it's not part of this library (this library is only for the HTTP api). I made a library to interface with the realtime (the one you want) and fbns "api" called instagram_mqtt. As far as updates to the library: It's updated to compile but there is no guarantee of it working all the time (same as this library; see the readme).
