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!

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

Best tool ever!

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

I discovered Phantombuster a month ago and have found incredible utility for their API service set. Tutorials and docs are excellent for understanding how to manage rate limits on different social platforms. Phantombuster very quickly helped me find 110k target FB users and 84k twitter accounts!

I love it ❤️. Its a powerful tool 🚀

What a great tool for the Growth Marketers! Safe, easy to use, and very powerful. A must Have in the Marketers 3.0 tool box. good job guys.

I've been using Phantombuster for almost a year now. It's a great tool for automating any processes online and data collection. Their free APIs are useful but you fully benefit from the product when you start making your own workflows and scripts. Give it a try, if you're data-driven and focus on automation, it's a must!

Pros:

- Many useful APIs for free to start with - Extremely powerful tool to create custom scraping and workflow automation

Cons:

- Steep learning curve to use the APIs at its full potential - UI isn't practical to have one API work with another.

For Growth hacking, their applications are well thought out and very effective. The team is always available to answer questions and is very active in the development of new APIs

Pros:

Very effective for growth strategy

Cons:

not very user friendly with the first version. (new version incoming)

Phantombuster is really helpful to automate some growth hacking tasks pretty much every startup has to execute. Moreover, their wide catalogue of use cases and APIs has given us many ideas that enabled us to grow.

Pros:

Many super interesting use cases, easy to setup, saves TONS of time.

Cons:

The interface is still a bit raw sometimes but I'm sure this will be improved quickly.

This is it :)

10/10. Would highly recommend 👏

Glad to see PB on here. Used them before with some LinkedIn related stuff, very powerful tool. Will definitely use coming into the future for prospecting etc. Pricing plans seem very reasonable too.

Pros:

- Simple - Fast - Fairly good UI - Plenty of good suggestions/click-and-go options for how to use their existing APIs

Cons:

- Hard to integrate APIs with one another (but hey there's other services for that, I like their specialisation)

Surprised no one has had a problem with this. Your site is basically a black-hat type of growth supplier. Disguised as "Growth hacking". More than half of these methods are actually against TOS.
