Help - Scraping Instagram Influencers in a specific niche?

❓Help and questions
1

Hello everyone,

I’m seeking assistance. Today is my first day in trial mode, and I want to confirm that Bardeen is the right tool for my needs for a long-term use.

So far, I haven’t found a way to achieve my goal, or perhaps I lack the necessary knowledge.

I’m aiming to automatically identify Instagram influencers, particularly those in the fitness niche, with 50,000 or more followers but no more than 100,000 followers. Then, I want to export their profile information, including their follower count, to a Google Sheet.

I want this to run automatically in the background and locate as many influencers as possible in a particular niche each day.

Could someone assist me in achieving this automation?

I’m eager to automate the process to avoid having to manually search for influencers.

I really appreciate if you can give me a hand!

Thanks
Tyce

Hi Tyce,

I’ve just had a look through instagram and unfortunately when you search for a keyword (e.g fitness) if produces posts instead of profiles. We are able to scrape those posts, get the instagram handles for the posters and then scrape their following. However, to get the specific criteria you want, you’ll need to scrape all these posts and profiles and ouput them into a google sheet and then filter according to you criteria in there.

Instagram doesn’t have a search filter to apply the criteria you want. Let me know if this is something you want to explore

Hi Cata,

These are the steps you’ll need to take:

  1. Build a scraper template for instagram search results where you scrape the post link. This tutorial will show you how to build a scraper template
  2. Once you build a scraper template, Bardeen will create a playbook for you.
  3. Add an action in the playbook with a background scraper to scrape the post . You can use our pre-built scraper template Instagram Post Details (by Bardeen) for this . The input link to be scraped will come from Step 2
  4. Add an action in the playbook with a background scraper to scrape the profile of the post author. You can use our pre-built scraper template Instagram Profile (by Bardeen) for this . The link for this action will come from Step 3
  5. Add an action called Add rows to google sheets. Select which sheet you want the data to go to and map the outputs of the action in step 4 into your google sheet. This will have the number of followers and other profile details.
  6. You can then filter according to your criteria in Google Sheets.
