Instagram suscribers

[VEGAS]

I would like to know if it is possible to synchronize the number of followers of an Instagram or LinkedIn account with Make to Notion. Thanks in advance

For any Instagram public scraping, I suggest using a third-party API. This way you don’t need a direct connection to those accounts.

Here are some Instagram APIs on RapidAPI: All Results For “instagram”

How to call an API on RapidAPI

Use the HTTP “Make a Request” module:

• Authentication type: API key

• Connection: Reuse an existing RapidAPI connection, or add one:

  • Set API Key parameter name: x-rapidapi-key
  • Key: <YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY>
    Copy your private key from the endpoint test page
    — follow the Green underline/arrow shown in the screenshot

• URL: Copy the endpoint URL from the endpoint test page
  — follow the Red underline/arrow shown in the screenshot

• Header: Add a header with Name x-rapidapi-host, and the API Host as the Value
  Copy the API Host from the endpoint test page
  — follow the Blue underline/arrow shown in the screenshot

Visual Guide

You can reuse this RapidAPI Credential “keychain” connection for all APIs on RapidAPI – you’ll just need to change the x-rapidapi-host header value based on the API you are calling. One easy way to do this is simply copy/clone this module that you’ve set up!

Thanks a lot, but when I run the scenario, I have this error : InvalidConfigurationError

Forbidden

{“message”:“You are not subscribed to this API.”}

[samliew]

You’ll need to go to the individual API page on RapidAPI and pick a plan too. Sorry this was implied if you want to use an API.. This is how they track usage.

You can do this by clicking on either of these to go to the pricing page:

Hope this helps! If you are still having trouble, please provide more details.

Thanks a lot.
Ok so now RapidAPI is set. But now I don’t understand how to have suscribers numbers after, could you help me ? Thanks !

[samliew]

It depends on which API you used. Which was it?

Could you tell us more about what you’ve done so far with your scenario?

It looks like your post has omitted how your scenario and modules are set up, and the data that is passing through those modules.

To allow others to assist you, please click here and provide the requested information.

A. All Relevant Screenshots

We need to see what you’re working with to give you the best advice. Screenshots are important because Make is a visual editor — a picture provides us with more context.

It would help us identify the issue by having screenshots of:

• the full scenario, and the zoomed in parts of the scenario that you are referring to (if your scenario is huge),
• a full scenario run/execution from the history (showing output “speech” bubbles),
• relevant module fields (showing how you’ve used any built-in functions, and how you’ve mapped the variables),
• relevant filters between modules (showing which operators and any built-in functions you’ve used, and how you’ve mapped the variables),
• relevant module input/output bubbles,
• if applicable, any error messages,
• and if applicable, any external services (spreadsheet headers/ sample data/ regex101.com/ etc. to show the item/ record exists, and is set up correctly).

Expand Instructions ◀

Please directly upload screenshots into the post editor. Using the forum’s image hosting allows for zooming in when clicked, and avoids third-party cookies or tracking.

Taking Screenshots

• Microsoft Windows: Take screenshots using the “Windows Snipping Tool”, by pressing either PrtSc or WinShiftS keys on your keyboard.
• MacOS: Take screenshots by pressing CommandShift4 keys on your keyboard.

Uploading Images

• Drag image files directly into the rich-text editor, or
• Click on the upload button in the editor toolbar to select files:
  

B. Scenario Blueprint

Providing your scenario will allow others to quickly recreate and see how you have set up the mappings in each module, and also allows us take screenshots or provide module exports of any solutions we have for you in return. This would benefit you in implementing our suggestions as you can view screenshots of the changes or paste corrected modules back into your scenario.

A. Export Blueprint

In the scenario editor, click the three dots at the top-right, then select “Export blueprint”.

• You can upload files and images to this forum by clicking on the upload button:
  

  Uploading an attachment here will look like this:
  blueprint.json (12.3 KB)

B. Create Public Share Link

In the scenario editor, click on the Share button:

Read more about the scenario sharing feature in the Help Centre.

C. Properly-formatted Output Bundles from a Scenario Run

Please provide the Output bundle of each of the relevant modules from the Scenario History, or by re-running the scenario.

Expand Instructions ◀

Click on the white speech bubbles on the top-right of each module and select “Download output (or input) bundles”.

A. Upload a Text File

Save each bundle contents in a plain text editor as a moduleNumber-output.txt file. Open the file to check if it has not added additional formatting or encoded the plain text.

• You can upload files and images to this forum by clicking on the upload button:
  

  Uploading an attachment here will look like this:
  module1-input.txt (1.2 KB), module1-output.txt (3.4 KB)

B. Insert a Formatted Code Block

If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the bundles AND format them correctly with the “Preformatted Text” (code) button in the rich-text editor. Otherwise the forum software will change the content, making them invalid!

_{Formatting IS Important!}

Here are some ways to provide text content in a way that it won’t be modified by the forum.

• Method 1: Type code fence manually —
  Manually type three backticks ``` in a separate line before and after the content, like this,

  ```
  text goes here
  ```
  

• Method 2: Highlight the pasted content, then click the preformatted text/code button —
  

• Method 3: Upload your file elsewhere and share the public link —
  This method is only advised for large files exceeding the forum upload limit.

Providing the Output bundle will allow others to replicate what is going on, especially if there are complex data structures (like nested arrays and collections) and data from external services. This helps us with answering your question with valid examples, like mapping raw variable names (instead of the label/display name).

Sharing these details will help you get better answers, faster.
