Wow FB/IG really keeping tabs on things they don’t like, huh?
Yeah I think because an indian influencer with 800K followers posted her top100posts.com link on her story and drove 1500 users to the site, IG must have considered this link as spammy and banned it…
Some big updates:
You can now fetch up to 5000 posts! You have different options to analyse the last 100, 500, 1000 up to 5000 last posts from an account. Of course fetching 5000 posts takes more time than fetching 500 posts, so keep that in mind.
The Engagement Rate is now based on 12 last posts.
We did a lot of updates, so tool still subject to bugs… but we are improving it everyday thanks to your feedbacks, thanks!
Much more to come!
Crazy update. Nice work. Are we seeing an analytics platform being born? Because that’s what it looks like.
Hey Swapd! Yes I’m launching my own social media analytics company. Top100posts is just the first product. We’ll keep improving it and we have two more products we’ll launch in October, not limited to Instagram.
Noticed they are a few current bugs on Top100posts, it’s normal…working on them
Sweet. Maybe we could work something out in the future and cross link each other
Sure! Plenty of ways to collaborate I’m sure
Your tool isn’t working anymore
Hi everyone,
Indeed the tool is not active anymore for a few weeks now.
I received A LOT of personal messages kindly asking me to put it back online, so I’m motivated to find a solution.
The truth is the maintenance cost was to high for me to cover every month.
As you know, IG is constantly making changes to its API so we needed to update the tool on a daily basis.
Building the tool + maintaining it for 3 months costed in average $533 per month.
My main concern for the future is IG hiding the likes metrics, as you all know.
If they find the experiment to be successful they will probably remove the number of likes from its source code, and then it would be the end of the tool, as we’ll not be able to get the number of likes anymore.
As my personal funds are limited, I figured out it was too risky to invest 533 USD a month + a lot of time and energy if the tool get shutdown in 5 months, for instance.
But I know for a fact a lot of professionals were actively using the tool everyday.
The stats are: in 2.5 months, 5271 unique users for 32900 searches. A lot of them discovered the tool here on @SWAPD
So, I’m in search of users/partners/sponsors to help me cover the costs, and therefore limit my financial risk, to get the tool to work again and to maintain it on a daily basis.
It could be 10 partners at $50 a month, or 50 users agreeing to pay $10/mo, or even one partner/individual deciding to cover all the costs and have ownership in the tool.
I’m open to quite everything to get the tool live again,
Open to suggestions
Thx
I was talking to my dev who also dabbles in IG, he said Instagram constantly changes something and adds limits which makes things super tough for him. I would imagine the same applies here. Sorry to hear this man, this looked like a great tool!
I saw that you commented saying that the tool is no longer available. Are there any other tools that have similar features?
Not that we know of. For now, I have to close this topic down since this tool isn’t working anymore.
