How to track # of social media posts & followers of partners?

I'm looking for a solution that would occassionally update fields in Salesforce automatically by pulling data from external fields on social media platforms like Instagram and LinkedIn.

For instance, for each Account they have an associated Instagram account and there are 3 primary fields I'd want to update -- # of posts, # of followers, and # following (see below).

Are you aware of any Apps in the App Exchange or of some code that could build this out?

Thanks @abhishek!  While very helpful its not exactly what I was looking for, as I'm looking for a much narrower solution at a lower price point or even free with a little code.  I do appreciate your contribution!

It would be great to look into this matter. Social networks are a good platform for business promotion, but promotion algorithms are constantly changing and you have to constantly follow the news on this topic. I also found out that on the site https://accfarm.com/email-list you can buy a Business Email Marketing List, this will help when using such a promotion strategy as email marketing. I want to test it.

Its very easy, as my team have already developed this system on one of our client website BuyLikesServices.com (https://buylikesservices.com/buy-instagram-followers/" target="_self) where whenever visitor enter username, we will fetch all details including followers, likes, views and posts.

There are several ways to track the number of social media posts and followers of partners. Here are a few methods:
Use a social media management tool: There are various social media management tools available, such as Hootsuite, Sprout Social, and Buffer, that allow you to track the number of posts and followers for multiple social media accounts, including those of your partners.
Use native analytics: Most social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, have built-in analytics tools that allow you to track the number of posts and followers for a specific account.
Use a web scraping tool: Web scraping tools, such as Beautiful Soup and Scrapy, can be used to scrape the data from (https://savefromig.id/) a partner's social media account and extract the number of posts and followers.
Use third-party analytics platforms: There are various third-party analytics platforms, such as SocialBlade, that allow you to track the number of posts and followers for a specific account on various social media platforms.
It is important to remember that, some of these options might not work if your partners have private account or if their account is not publicly accessible.
