## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## TikTok Influencer Finder — Emails & Contacts

Turn a niche such as `skincare`, `home fitness`, or `indie game dev` into a targeted TikTok creator list. Filter by follower count and export public emails, Instagram, YouTube, X, bio links, profile URLs, and account statistics.

Use it for influencer outreach, affiliate recruitment, creator partnerships, sponsorship research, or building a niche creator database.

### Why use this Actor

- Discover creators from keywords—no profile list required.
- Target nano, micro, mid-tier, or large creators by follower range.
- Keep only outreach-ready profiles with `onlyWithContact`.
- HTTP-only extraction starts no browser and no proxy.
- Residential proxy configuration is ignored, preventing residential traffic.

### Pay only for useful returned creators

- **$0.005 per output creator — $0.50 for 100 results, or $5 per 1,000.**
- A small start event and normal Apify platform usage may also apply; see the **Pricing** tab.
- With `onlyWithContact: true`, only creators that reach the dataset incur the result fee.

Start with one focused keyword and five results to check lead quality.

### Quick start

```json
{
  "keywords": ["skincare"],
  "minFollowers": 10000,
  "maxFollowers": 500000,
  "maxCreatorsPerKeyword": 50,
  "onlyWithContact": true,
  "maxConcurrency": 8
}
```

#### Input options

| Field | Default | What it does |
|---|---:|---|
| `keywords` | common niches | Keywords or niches, one per line. |
| `minFollowers` | `0` | Minimum followers; `0` disables the lower bound. |
| `maxFollowers` | `0` | Maximum followers; `0` disables the upper bound. |
| `maxCreatorsPerKeyword` | `50` | Maximum output creators per keyword. |
| `onlyWithContact` | `true` | Keep profiles with a public email, social handle, YouTube link, or bio link. |
| `maxConcurrency` | `8` | Lightweight TikTok profile requests in parallel. |
| `maxRequestRetries` | `2` | Short retries for temporary public HTTP failures. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | disabled | Legacy field; ignored so no residential proxy can start. |

### Output

Every dataset row is one creator:

```json
{
  "keyword": "skincare",
  "username": "creator",
  "nickname": "Creator Name",
  "userId": "123456789",
  "followerCount": 125000,
  "followingCount": 320,
  "videoCount": 410,
  "heartCount": 8500000,
  "verified": false,
  "signature": "Beauty creator | hello@example.com",
  "bioLink": "https://example.com",
  "email": "hello@example.com",
  "emails": ["hello@example.com"],
  "instagram": "creator",
  "twitter": null,
  "youtube": null,
  "links": ["https://example.com"],
  "profileUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@creator",
  "avatar": "https://...",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-28T00:00:00.000Z"
}
```

### How it stays fast and inexpensive

The Actor uses a lightweight public search feed to discover usernames, then reads each creator's public server-rendered TikTok profile HTML directly. It does not download Chromium, render pages, or allocate residential proxies.

Search requests are rate-limited for upstream stability, while independent profile pages are fetched concurrently. Retries are deliberately short and capped to avoid paying for long empty runs.

### 中文速览

输入领域关键词，按粉丝量筛选 TikTok 达人，并导出简介中公开的邮箱和社媒链接。Actor 全程使用轻量 HTTP，不启动浏览器、代理或住宅 IP。价格是 **每位达人 $0.005，100 位只需 $0.50**。

### Important notes

- The Actor extracts only contact details that creators publish in their bio or public links. It cannot reveal hidden emails.
- Search ranking and profile counts are snapshots and may change.
- Discovery uses an independent public upstream endpoint; field availability can change.
- Use public contact data responsibly and comply with privacy, anti-spam, and platform rules.

### Zero-result policy

A run that produces no valid creator rows finishes as `FAILED`, not as a misleading success. Broaden the keyword, contact, or follower filters and retry.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

搜索关键词或领域，每行一个；留空则自动枚举常见领域（美妆/健身/美食/游戏/科技等）。Keywords or niches, one per line. Leave empty to auto-enumerate common niches.

## `minFollowers` (type: `integer`):

只保留粉丝数 ≥ 该值的达人。0 = 不限。Only keep creators with at least this many followers. 0 = no minimum.

## `maxFollowers` (type: `integer`):

只保留粉丝数 ≤ 该值的达人（适合找腰部/微达人）。0 = 不限。Only keep creators with at most this many followers. 0 = no maximum.

## `maxCreatorsPerKeyword` (type: `integer`):

每个关键词最多返回的达人数量。Maximum creators to return per keyword.

## `onlyWithContact` (type: `boolean`):

Only keep creators whose bio includes an email, Instagram, X/Twitter, YouTube, or bio link. Disable this to maximize creator results.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many lightweight public profile HTTP requests to run in parallel. No browser is started.

## `maxRequestRetries` (type: `integer`):

Retries for temporary public HTTP/API failures. A low default prevents slow, wasteful runs.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Legacy compatibility field. It is ignored: the Actor uses direct lightweight HTTP requests and never starts a residential proxy.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "keywords": [
    "beauty",
    "vegan recipes",
    "indie game dev"
  ],
  "minFollowers": 0,
  "maxFollowers": 0,
  "maxCreatorsPerKeyword": 50,
  "onlyWithContact": true,
  "maxConcurrency": 8,
  "maxRequestRetries": 2,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
