I’m sorry I didn’t state my need better. I know that is what I’ll have to do with Twitter, but I’m not find how to access Pinterest and Instagram to pull the followers of a specific person on each site. I really appreciate your comments… Thanks, John R. Sweeney Jr. Senior Interactive

Its cool that we both keep looking at the same links. Started reading that one, when I found out the JSON requirement. The other two are really making me scratch my head. Thanks and good luck on your project, John R. Sweeney Jr. Senior Interactive Multimedia Developer OnDemand Interactive
