▶️ Watch: I Made a Claude Code Plugin to Automate Local Media

A Claude Code plugin for scraping local events from Instagram and web sources, with support for ad-hoc Facebook event URLs.

Created by Aniket Panjwani

💡 Non-technical? Book a consultation for guided setup. You'll leave ready to scrape events from any Instagram profile or webpage yourself.

Create hyper-local event newsletters by aggregating events from:

• Instagram - Public profiles via ScrapeCreators API
• Facebook - Direct event URLs (pass to /research command)
• Web Aggregators - Event listing websites via Firecrawl

Events are deduplicated, stored in SQLite, and formatted according to your preferences.

/plugin marketplace add aniketpanjwani/local_media_tools
/plugin install newsletter-events
/newsletter-events:setup

Then:

1. Add API keys to ~/.config/local-media-tools/.env
2. Add sources: /newsletter-events:add-source
3. Scrape events: /newsletter-events:research
4. Generate newsletter: /newsletter-events:write

Full Getting Started Guide

• Python 3.12+ with uv
• bun (for Facebook event scraping)
• Claude Code
• API keys: ScrapeCreators (Instagram) or Firecrawl (web)

• Database: ~/.config/local-media-tools/data/events.db
• Newsletters: newsletter_YYYY-MM-DD.md in current directory

Old plugin versions accumulate in ~/.claude/plugins/cache/ (~30-40MB each). To clean up:

# Remove all old versions, keep only current (check version in plugin.json first)
ls ~/.claude/plugins/cache/local-media-tools/newsletter-events/ | grep -v "CURRENT_VERSION" | xargs -I {} rm -rf ~/.claude/plugins/cache/local-media-tools/newsletter-events/{}
