MenuInstagram follower scraper
I want to collect data on Instagram about subscribers of a specified user. How can this be done automatically? Are there any tools that can be used in the work? In what form is the data uploaded?

Hi. I am a software developer who general does a fair amount of web-scraping and API development. In this particular case, I would suggest doing 2 things. First, it might be worth checking if the company has a public API as scraping is generally forbidden and included in the terms of service.
In the case of Instagram, they do have an API which can be used to retrieve information about public users. The process is a bit long, but there are clear instructions on the Meta API documentation page. You can check this link for more information related to your specific request.

What could be the challenges, If you were to build a repository and an online marketplace for pre-built BI dashboards?
The core challenge with all marketplace businesses is that you must develop both sides of the market simultaneously. I've been through this with several of our own brands (Fundable, Clarity) - and while they presented additional unique challenges - the core is brining both the supply and demand side of the market to the table at the same time, with the appropriate ratios to create a thriving commerce environment. I'm happy to talk through our experiences, and those of countless clients who faced similar obstacles in starting their businesses. Kind regards, RyanRR
