Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

✅ **Fail-Safes** — Early exits if maximum results limit is reached ### 💡 Best Practices #### ✅ **Recommended Usage** 1. **Start Small** — Use `maxResults: 20` first to verify your filters work correctly before running large scrapes. 2. **Sort by Engagement for Partnerships** — Creators with high engagement rates are ideal for brand collaborations. 3. **Use Follower Ranges** — Target micro-influencers (10K-100K) for cost-effective campaigns with higher engagement rates. 4. **Compare Across Countries** — Creator landscapes differ significantly; US trends don't always apply to UK/EU. 5. **Check TCM Links** — Use the Creator Marketplace links to directly explore collaboration opportunities. 6. **Monitor Top Videos** — A creator's top-performing videos reveal their content style and audience preferences. #### ⚠️ **Important Notes** - The API uses standard ISO 2-letter country codes (e.g., `US`, `GB`, `DE`). - Avatar and cover image URLs are CDN-hosted and may expire after some time; download them promptly if needed. - TCM links direct to the TikTok Creator Marketplace for collaboration and ad-related activities. - Creators with `tcm_id: "0"` may not have a public Creator Marketplace profile. ### ❓ FAQ #### **Q: Do I need a TikTok account?** **A:** No, this tool uses specialized endpoints and does not require login, cookies, or account access. #### **Q: What do the follower ranges mean?** **A:** `0` = All creators, `1` = 10K-100K (micro-influencers), `2` = 100K-1M (mid-tier), `3` = 1M-10M (macro-influencers), `4` = 10M+ (mega-influencers). #### **Q: What does `sort_by` control?** **A:** `follower` sorts by follower count, `engagement` sorts by engagement rate, and `avg_views` sorts by average video views (popularity). #### **Q: How many top videos are included per creator?** **A:** Up to 3 top-performing videos are included per creator, with view counts, likes, cover images, and direct links. #### **Q: How often is the data updated?** **A:** TikTok's Creator Marketplace data is updated regularly with the latest trending creators. *** ### 🔗 Related Actors | Actor | Description | |-------|-------------| | [📊 TikTok Top Ads Spy](https://apify.com/burbn/tiktok-top-ads-spy) | Scrape top-performing TikTok ads with video URLs, CTR, likes, and creative data | | [📦 TikTok Trending Products](https://apify.com/burbn/tiktok-trending-products-scraper) | Discover viral products and profitable niches on TikTok | *** ### 🏷️ **Keywords & Tags** `tiktok trending creators`, `tiktok creators scraper`, `tiktok influencer research`, `tiktok influencer finder`, `tiktok creator marketplace`, `tiktok tcm scraper`, `tiktok influencer marketing`, `tiktok creator analytics`, `tiktok influencer discovery`, `tiktok creator data`, `tiktok influencer metrics`, `tiktok creator profiles`, `tiktok top creators`, `tiktok influencer scraper`, `tiktok creator trends`, `tiktok micro influencers`, `tiktok macro influencers`, `tiktok mega influencers`, `tiktok creator engagement`, `tiktok influencer engagement`, `tiktok creator followers`, `tiktok social media tool`, `tiktok data extraction`, `tiktok scraper`, `apify tiktok`, `tiktok api scraper`, `influencer marketing tool`, `creator discovery tool`, `tiktok brand partnerships`, `tiktok influencer campaign`, `tiktok creator search`, `tiktok influencer search`, `tiktok creator intelligence`, `tiktok influencer data`, `tiktok creator extractor` *** ### 🎁 Get $5 Free Apify Credits New to Apify?
