In my app, I want to offer a quota increase for users if they follow my business’ social media accounts. For instance, user clicks button which redirects them to an Instagram page and somehow we can verify if they have followed. Similar to how gleam.io runs contests. Is this possible, or do I just need to settle for increasing their limit if they click the link?
I haven’t read the whole api documentations of all social media platforms, but one idea would be the following:
Get your followers via api, and let your users type in their name and submit it on your page (maybe in their profile). Then you will have all the social media names or profiles of your users and you will get the list of your followers and can compare those lists.
I will think of another solution but this one could work.
For now, you’d need to query your follower count and compare it to a recent count to detect any changes. Which would involve, as you probably know, some sort of polling. I think a get request in bubble costs 0.76 WU. You could have a profile sync button that will negate the polling and just verify they are a follower by the press of a button.
