Could you build this?

Partial Instagram's Graph API heavily restricts access to follower lists, mutual follow graphs, and personal user interactions, making automated follower-based matchmaking violate platform TOS or impossible without workarounds.

What it would actually take: Requires navigating strict Meta Graph API permissions or building fragile mobile automation/scraping proxies that risk immediate IP/account banning. The core matching logic is trivial, but overcoming Instagram's closed anti-scraping ecosystem and API access tier constraints requires specialized mobile reverse engineering or enterprise API partner approvals.
