Is this idea good? Instagram related
Hi guys, so my friend has a large following on Instagram account and he was doing a giveaway. He asked me for help in automating the process of choosing a winner. I think its a nice idea for a small project, but im not really sure since im not that into coding. I wanted to create an mvp on bubble.io and test it out but would love to hear your thoughts before i dive in. Please share them in a respected manner :)
So, the raw idea is that the app will connect to the Instagram API, in order to have access to the the user/my friend's account. My friend/user will log in with IG, Then he can select a post and the system will fetch all of the user names from the comments section into a list, in order to pick a random winner. Im not sure if this can be done
Thanks for reading guys, i appreciate any feedback.
Definitely possible though I don’t know how easy. Gleam is the big name in this market they let you run sweepstakes on a huge number of platforms based on all kinds of actions:

It all depends on the instagram API and whether it allows to retrieve the usernames of the people commenting a specific post. If that's the case, the rest is really easy.
