Hello Community,

i have a personal project where i would like to scrape followers of my insta profile which can easily be done by any scraper out there but what further i need to do is id like to scrape the followers of my followers and only report or give back common profiles

for example :

A, B, C and D are my followers

A and B follow Account D

I would like a script/app/py code that would report me back " D - Followed by A and B

Now here is the break up

Stage 1 : Scrape my followers
Stage 2 : Scrape followers of list generated in Stage 1 (the hardest part)
Stage 3 : Compare all Followers
Stage 4 : Report back only repeating followers

Now there are quite a lot of free scripts available on the internet but i cant see to find an efficient way ! or at least i tried.

Also i have no knowledge of programming, i have manged to run py scripts and modify them to my needs at most.

Has this already been done ? Please suggest more efficient ways if you can ! Again its for a personal project !

Thank You !

Trust me your best bet is to get into coding. Makes everything so much more accessible.

agreed, even if you aren't coding actual bots, just scripting results files, removing items from lista to list_b, or only showing reults that are in both becomes much much more simpler with some basic coding / scripting skills
 
Is there anything out there that can simply and effectively scrape users with a certain amount of followers (e.g Only followers that have 1k+ followers)?

for free. No. You'd need to use some online code libraries that can do it, but you will have to do some programming of the functions together.

Paid: yes. Many products allow scraping of users and allow you to apply a file to the results (>1000 followers)

What language are you using? Python?

Python gets a good rep for a first programming language, although the dynamic typing, no compilation stage and the damn whitespace rules drive me crazy at times, let more often than not it is better to just load up a full IDE programming for some basic script like functions

I'm happy to pay a small fee, My goal is to scrape >5000 followers. I'm currently using Jarvee, and I have the follow settings set to follow followers of large accounts with a filter on 5000+ followings. But the problem is Jarvee gives up after 20 mins of searching and suggests I widen my target search. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but Jarvee does not seem very effiecent at scraping this list for me? What should I try next?

I don't know the jarvee product, so cannot comment on their software of how it does things.

But all bots have to be careful with scraping with filters to avoid the situation where your filter is ignoring (x)% of results, causing too many requests to ISG servers, which means a block on your account and probably a flag raised on your account for possible automations.

Different bots handle this different. Some try to be use friendly and make these decisions on behalf of the users as most of their users want a simple interface, others allow it be scripted, but with out flexibility comes complications. Maybe Jarvee has some hidden functionality to handle this (I have no idea) but it would be best to contact their support and ask - you never know.

If you they don't and you want more functionality of a pro scraper, try looking around for something that does what you want (or as I said above, if you can program, plug the pieces together yourself so it does EXACTLY what you want, for very specific requirements, this is the best way to go (but the most complicated / time consuming / expensive (if paying someone to do it for you)

Ya man python ! it seemed easy looking at the guides, but when you get down to programming..ufff , thankfully github has fully compiled python scripts that just needs commands , i was using those !
