This would be fantastic! We use Airtable to manage our own “CRM” of influencers in our industry and we direly need a way to keep track of their latest social stats, as well as communication with them.

This would help us as an ecommerce company to track shipments and such as well.

I’ve been searching the internet, trying to learn python, or find any tool that can help me do this. I have been using this script to get instagram followers to populate when i give my spreadsheet their instagram url.

=IMPORTXML(A1,"//metat@name=‘description’]/@content")

the a1 column uses this formula

=ArrayFormula(FormResponces!N2:N)

I would love to do this in reverse and give airtable a list of names on a table populated by my vcf import, have it find their instagram, list followers, link in bio, contact, ect. it feels tedious to need to do this one at a time.

Did anyone figure this out? How to automatically pull in instagram follower counts to airtable?

yes This would be amazingly useful!!! Hope to get updates

@Josh_Sultan Could you send a screenshot of your board? If this works it would be incredibly helpful!

There may be a way to do this by taking the username from each URL and sending it to the API of each platform and seeing what info you can get. You could make a simple python API that you can talk to from your base via a script or an app. The python API could talk to the twitter API, insta API etc.

Could be possible! Haven’t tried it yet though.

Hi Gavin, did you ever give this a go? Very interested in being able to set this up if it’s possible.

Hey Tom,

I’ve got an API I’ve built for the various social networks to get follower counts. It is currently saving some people a lot of time tracking follower accounts for their clients.

I’m thinking of turning it into an Airtable extension with a small monthly fee for unlimited queries. The APIs change pretty regularly and require maintenance, hence the fee.

If this is something you’re interested in accessing if I turned it into an extension, email me at: from@duck.com
