Inspiration

In today's generation, a developer like us would have his Github sorted, LinkedIn sorted, ProductHunt sorted, HackerNews sorted and his gaming setup sorted but probably might have his online social life in shambles, unable to stay afloat across multiple social media platforms in the limited time available after making that last-minute bug fix or building that weekend project. Hence I decided to provide all those developers a breath of new life through my No-Code Social Media Aggregator, a one-stop dashboard for all things social media.

What it does

No-Code Social Media Aggregator fetches data like personal information, likes, media info, and additional metadata from various sites like

Facebook
Instagram
Youtube
Twitter
Spotify and presents them in a seemingly beautiful visualization scheme. However, it does go one step ahead to enable creating a mock URL for the above visualization in a dashboard format so that developers can share them around and reuse them like any other #devSwag.

How we built it

For building it, almost all major features of Postman like

Collections and collection runners
Mock API service
Monitoring service
Scripting
Interceptor have been used. These have allowed rapid iteration to happen in the Postman desktop app itself without running into Newman, which while could have made it easier, would have removed the charm of doing it purely from the Postman app itself.

Challenges we ran into

Two issues were mainly encountered

Resolving to download visualizations
Reverse engineering APIs of youtube and Twitter which weren't available With reasonable time, they were solved.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I didn't expect to get this project completed given I started it pretty late and scripting does have some good learning curve. However, I am glad about my results now.
