Phantombuster - A marketplace of simple to use no-code APIs

Hello everyone 👋 We're very excited to introduce Phantombuster to the Product Hunt community. Our platform lets creative, non-technical people, setup complex automation strategies with one end-goal: growth. No more need for learning JS, hiring virtual assistants or interns. We want people to be able to leverage the full power or their web. Phantombuster made and maintains 70 APIs so far. These range from auto-connecting with a list of people on LinkedIn to extracting every members of a Facebook group, to auto-liking people having liked such or such hashtag on Insta to finding their Twitter handle and follow them on Twitter. Chain these actions and you'll have a complex growth-hacking strategy working for you while you focus on high added-value tasks. Here are 3 steps for you to reach the A-HA! moment: Step1: Create a Free Forever Account. Step2: Select an API and configure it. Step3: Click on launch, wait a few secs, and check out the resulting .csv file. You'll find yourself with a .csv (or .json) file filled with thousands of names, URLs, emails, etc. of followers of such or such influencer, of tweets related to a specific topic, of people you just unfollowed on Instagram, of messages you sent to prospects on just LinkedIn, of Facebook Profiles of people you found on Medium, etc. It's our first Product Hunt so we're eager to hearing your feedback. We asked Marty, Nathan, Medhi and Martin to stop coding (which they hate) to answer your every question, help you get setup and write down your ideas. You can also check-out our blog for more use-cases on LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and more.

I've used this several time to increase my social media reach, it works very well and anytime I would be stuck doing something, I would get help same day by the phantombuster team.

Pros:

They make it easy to do hard stuff. Love their UI Technical / Marketing team very helpful

Cons:

I would like to see more tutorial to build our own bots!

Best tool ever!

I love using Phantombuster before my sales campaigns. It helps me collect info and data about my prospects and automate boring and recurring actions like visiting linkedin profiles, following twitter profiles and creating triggers combined with zappier. It is now part of my daily routine and i am also using it to source candidates now that we're hiring. Big plus : The product is evolving fast and the team listen to its users. A MUST HAVE

Pros:

Very simple and effective for sales

Cons:

Maybe regroup the cards on the homepage by function

Amazing tool - amazing team - if you want to automate your growth PB is your go-to tool! Their APIs are really easy to use and can be customizable for much advanced use cases!

Pros:

Phantombuster is THE must have tool for any growth hacker - tech savvy marketer.

Cons:

The APIs are not “easy” to set up. But if you can read you’ll be fine!

PhantomBuster is my secret Growth weapon. I have been using it for over a year now, and it's amazing the value I've been able to get from it. My #1 usage? Getting upvotes & likes from Linkedin posts

I'll be watching this tool for sure!

Pros:

I wish we'd had a tool like this sooner for our growth initiatives!

Cons:

Not sure yet.

As cool as this is, isn't this probably against most of those social medias terms? I would worry this app would be shut down fast, or trimmed of all of it's utility, the second those networks realize what you are down. Basically allowing someone to spam their network. It just takes 1 bad apple user on Phantombuster to shut it all down. This seems really useful, at a glance, but I worry about the ethical side, and if it can actually last.

& Best customer service !

Pros:

Very easy-to-use & effective platform ! Top results on increasing our social networks' followers base

Cons:

Definitely the best tool

I've increased my instagram reach by 3 on the first week. Great tool to find your community and reach out to them in a qualitative way
