Instagram API get notified on new followers


Today I had an idea. I want to make a light switch on when I get a new follower on my Instagram account.

I know some APIs to switch on the light, but I'm looking for a way to get notified on new followers. So I searched on Instagram documentation but I only found webhooks for mentions and stories.

Do you know if there is a web to get notified on a new follower to call the light API?


Solution

  • Instagram does not provide a webhook endpoint for follower events. It provides support for changes to the comments, mentions, and story_insights fields as described here.
