'Question Regarding How Profile Mate Did Something
I am wondering how https://profilemate.com/ made instant retrievals of all the followers of an Instagram account. Then, of all those follower accounts, they retrieved the following properties:
Username
Full Name
Follower Count
Following Count
Public Email
Engagement Rate
Website in URL
Total Posts
Business Category
Phone Country
Public Phone Number
City
Link to Account
So far, I can retrieve all the followers using Selenium to scrape the account (on localhost—XAMPP's Apache). Then I can retrieve all the properties of those accounts using a similar method.
But, there are issues running Selenium on GoDaddy, namely the installation process, running python on GoDaddy hosting, etc. Also, we don't want the Selenium popup on GoDaddy since this is a customer-facing web app.
