Analytics using Instagram
Hello everyone!
I had an idea to make analytics using data from Instagram. The project consists in take information from Instagram profile and posts, and make graphs and projections of the data. This webpage should be useful to marketing to choose an influencer
My doubt is that getting the information using scrapy in python is illegal or contrary the terms and conditions of Instagram? I realized that robot.txt is completely strict therefore they don't like to analyse their data.
In contrast, I realized that there are some companies that they are doing similar of my idea. For example: https://www.ninjalitics.com/ or https://instametrica.com/report/selenagomez . There are a lot more!
What do all of you think? It is ok to make a website like these ones or it is better not to enter? I don't want to have any future problem
Thanks in advance!
Thanks @HypeCrux for the comment! You are completely right. I have some greats ideas that these sites don't have. I'll have a look at your community, thanks for sharing.
I think that it couldn't be illegal or contrary to the terms and services but I can not be 100% sure because it's not written in any place. That's why I have my doubts. Moreover I found another webpage with the same idea: https://www.heepsy.com/influencers. So, it might be ok to do that.
Anyone who can have more information about use data from sites to analytics?
Also I realize that @Nebulic has a product similar of these ones. I wanted to know his opinion of my issue. Sorry if you feel intimidated, I just want to find out more information. Thanks in advance!
Theres no problem with a "ME Too" product just find a way to compete(ease of use, better customer service etc.
Try to take a slice out of the pie for yourself.
