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!
Update data from external links (Instagram, Twitter, Spotify...)

+31Hm, 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!
+1That’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.
