Automate Your ‘Hot List’ Build: PowerShell + IG Scraper
Hey MOA fam 👊 I wanted to share a slick way to build your “hot list” using automation — no more manual CSV editing and digging through Instagram profiles forever. Here's how my PowerShell scripts in the Hotlistr repo streamline the process: 🚀 How It Works 1. Grab Instagram Followers - Use a Chrome extension like IG Exporter & Scraper to export followers (or tagged users) into a CSV/XLSX. 2. Download Profile Pics - Run the download script from Hotlistr to automatically grab profile pictures for everyone in your list. 3. Hand‑Pick Your Hot List - Go through the downloaded images yourself. - Delete pics you’re not feeling — keep the ones you want. 4. Generate Your Final Hot List - Run the create-hotlist script. - It scans the folder of pics you kept and builds a new CSV that’s ready to use. Why It’s Powerful - Already following the “photographer → model hole” philosophy? This adds automation to your existing approach. - No need to struggle with messy Excel sheets or manually renaming files. - Gives you more time to actually connect instead of nit‑picking data. Summary Process: 1. Export IG followers → 2. Download profile pics automatically → 3. Manually filter best ones → 4. Generate final CSV with create-hotlist script 🎯 Full setup, install wizard, and all scripts are in the repo: https://github.com/gitchrisqueen/hotlistr Let me know if you run into issues or want to tweak it further.
