Hi.

The article about LinkedIn and Facebook ads and ai agent to get weekly insights is very helpful. Is there any way to do the same with web scraping of owned organic posts on LinkedIn and Instagram from our own company page? The idea is to get the comments, shares, Reposts, etc of my posts to avoid manual scraping in csv. Any tips are welcome. Thanks a lot

Hi ​@Weby,

 

Welcome to the Community.

 

Scraping data from LinkedIn and Instagram has limitations due to API restrictions. LinkedIn’s Zapier integration triggers workflows for new company posts but doesn’t pull in comments or shares. Instagram’s API no longer supports post or comment triggers in Zapier. Alternatively, social media management tools like Buffer or Hootsuite can provide analytics, which Zapier can process. Always ensure compliance with platform terms when collecting data.

 

I hope this information is helpful. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.


Hi there, ​@Weby! 👋

Were you able to get this sorted?

If not, to do web scraping of your company’s LinkedIn and Instagram pages perhaps you could use a web scraping app like Browse AI for that. 🤔 From there you could incorporate the data it scraped into the approach mentioned in our How to build an AI marketing team with Zapier Tables and Agents article to build the weekly insights.

Keen to ensure you’re all set here so let us know how things are going!
