I Built a Telegram Bot for Monthly Instagram Reports — Here's What I Learned

Описание и применение

Автоматизированный бот Telegram, использующий HikerAPI, собирает данные Instagram, рассчитывает показатели вовлечения, сравнивает периоды и отправляет клиенту готовый отчёт.

Задача

Freelance SMM clients required monthly Instagram reports, but manual data collection was time‑consuming and repetitive.

Результат

The bot automates data retrieval and report generation, reducing manual effort and enabling timely, comparable monthly insights for clients.

Рабочий процесс

• Send Instagram username to Telegram bot
• Bot requests account info from HikerAPI
• Bot fetches post and highlight data
• Python processes JSON to calculate engagement metrics
• Python aggregates data by month and compares with previous period
• Bot sends formatted report or file to user

Доказательства

I had to check different accounts, look through posts, collect engagement numbers, and organize everything into something presentable.

Источник

Источник

I decided to keep the processing separate from the API requests.
