I want to pull an instagram user’s follower count from their public profile JSON - is there a way in Zapier to visit this URL and then view the contents on the page?
if you go to this url: instagram.com/username?__a=1 it will return all of their profile data.
I tried using a Webhook, but I’m not using their API to make the call, just a public url.
Hey
Welcome to the Community! Instead of using a webhook you could try using a web scraping tool. I know we happen to have an integration with Octoparse which might allow you to extract the follower numbers from the relevant instagram pages.
Hope that helps! :)
