Hello, I have built a table with links to spotify, Instagram, twitter and tik tok and I also include the number of followers of each of the artists in the table. I update this data by hand and I would like to know if there is a way to automate this update or to do it on demand for a previously selected group of artists. Thank you!
Hm, you could potentially do this with a webscraping service, but you'd need to have a fair amount of JavaScript knowledge to deal with that I reckon. Super interested to hear options from other people though!
To do this, you can use APIs provided by each platform (such as the Instagram Graph API, Twitter API, and Spotify Web API) to fetch real-time data, including the number of followers for specific artists. For a more streamlined experience, you could create a custom script or use an automation tool that integrates these APIs to update the data in your table on demand. Additionally, if you're looking to automate Spotify data updates, you might consider exploring third-party apps like Spotify++ iOS, which can help with easier access to Spotify information, though it’s essential to ensure compliance with each platform’s usage terms.
To automate updating Spotify artist data (e.g., follower count), use the Spotify Web API.
- Get API access Spotify Developer Dashboard
- Use the API endpoint /artists/{id} to fetch artist details, including follower counts.
- Write a script (e.g., in Python) to query the API and update your table.
- Schedule the script for periodic updates or trigger it on demand.

Para hacer esto, puede utilizar las API proporcionadas por cada plataforma (como la API Graph de Instagram, la API de Twitter y la API web de Spotify) para obtener datos en tiempo real, incluida la cantidad de seguidores de artistas específicos. Para una experiencia más optimizada, puede crear un script personalizado o utilizar una herramienta de automatización que integre estas API para actualizar los datos de su tabla a pedido. Además, si está buscando automatizar las actualizaciones de datos de Spotify, podría considerar explorar aplicaciones de terceros como Spotify premium, que pueden ayudar a facilitar el acceso a la información de Spotify, aunque es esencial garantizar el cumplimiento de los términos de uso de cada plataforma.
That’s a great project! Automating follower counts for platforms like Spotify, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok is definitely possible using their respective APIs (Spotify, for instance, has a well-documented public API). You could write a script to fetch and update the data either on a schedule or on demand for selected artists. It’ll save you a ton of manual work in the long run!
You can try using APIs from each platform with a tool like Make or Zapier to fetch follower counts and update Airtable automatically. Might need some token setup, but it's doable and saves a ton of manual work.
Automating updates from external links like Instagram or Spotify is definitely useful for keeping data consistent. I’ve been working on something similar where nutrition info needs to stay updated across platforms, like this example: https://brewmenuus.com/7-brew-menu-nutrition/ — automation really helps reduce manual effort.
