Scrape the exact number of followers on Instagram

[secretariat]

Hello,
I’m trying to scrape the number of followers of a list of Instagram accounts on a weekly basis to monitor their performance. I’ve rather easily set up a “scrape data in the background” process using the Bardeen template. However, it only exports the condensed version of the number of followers. I’ve discovered that by hovering over this number, Instagram shows the exact figure, which I would like to scrape. Do you know if this is possible?

Hi,

This should definitely be possible, but it requires a custom approach in selecting the correct CSS selectors for the scraper.

Unfortunately, I’m not technical enough to assist with this level of customization, but our engineering team can create a tailored solution for Business users. If you’re interested in upgrading and getting expert support, let me know, and I can connect you with the right team.

Best,
Victoria

Hi,
Many thanks for your feedback. I was hoping for a quick win, but unfortunately, I don’t have any extra budget to allocate to this project. So, I will have to satisfy myself with the existing data
Many thanks for your help.

Yes, actually, I have a quick question for you. Is there a setting that allows the automatic launch of a playbook? I would ideally like to launch my playbooks once per week on Wednesday morning.
Many thanks

Sure, you can add a trigger to your playbook and that will convert it into an autobook. Please read here: https://support.bardeen.ai/hc/en-us/articles/23925118331277-Creating-Autobooks

Hope this helps!
