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

说明与用途

使用 HikerAPI 的 Telegram 机器人自动收集 Instagram 数据，计算参与度指标，比较期间，并向客户发送准备好的报告。

问题

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

结果

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

工作流

• 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

证据

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

来源

I started building a small Python tool that collects Instagram data and prepares monthly statistics reports.

来源

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

来源

I chose Telegram because it was convenient for requesting reports.
