Tiktok Influencer Finder

Find TikTok creators by hashtag, keyword, niche, or seed profile — then filter and export outreach-ready influencer leads with follower counts, bio details, and public contact clues.

What does this actor do?

TikTok Influencer Finder is an Apify Actor that discovers public TikTok creators for influencer outreach, market research, lead generation, and creator intelligence. It supports three discovery modes:

• Hashtag discovery — find creators active around hashtags like #skincare, #gymtok, or #booktok
• Keyword/niche discovery — find creators by search terms like "fitness coach", "AI productivity", or "travel creator Australia"
• Seed profile discovery — include known creators directly by username or profile URL

All three modes can be combined in a single run. Creators found across multiple sources are deduplicated with merged discovery lineage.

Why use this actor?

• Multiple discovery paths in one actor — hashtags + keywords + seed profiles
• Creator-level output — one row per creator, not per video
• Discovery lineage — every creator shows exactly why and how they were found
• Contact clues — public email, Instagram, YouTube, and external links extracted from bios
• Filtering — follower range, verification status, email-only, bio keyword include/exclude
• Scoring — qualification (outreach-readiness) and relevance (niche match) scores with human-readable reasons
• Deduplication — same creator found via multiple hashtags = one row with merged lineage
• Country and language — best-effort country annotation and language inference from bio text
• CSV-friendly — flat, stable schema ready for Sheets, Airtable, CRM, and AI workflows

Use cases

• Influencer discovery — find creators in your niche across multiple hashtags and keywords
• Lead generation — build outreach lists with emails and contact clues
• Campaign sourcing — discover creators matching audience size, niche, and outreach readiness
• Competitor analysis — find creators active in competitor hashtags
• Market research — understand which creators dominate specific niches
• AI workflows — feed creator data into scoring, categorization, and outreach pipelines

Chaining with other TikTok actors

Creator results flow naturally into other TikTok actors:

• Use profileUrl as input for TikTok Profile Scraper for deeper profile enrichment
• Use username to feed TikTok Followers/Following Scraper for audience analysis
• Use discovered hashtags to feed TikTok Hashtag Scraper for content-level analysis

Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged per creator returned in the dataset output. The event name is influencer-result. The actor respects user-configured spending limits — if your maximum cost per run is reached, the actor stops pushing results and exits gracefully.

Important notes and limitations

• Public data only — this actor uses publicly available TikTok data
• Contact clues are best-effort — emails, Instagram handles, and YouTube handles are extracted from public bios using pattern matching. They are not verified or guaranteed to be accurate
• Country annotation is best-effort — country is inferred from SSR region data, flag emojis, and bio keywords. It may be null for many profiles
• Language inference is best-effort — language is detected from Unicode scripts and common word patterns in bio text
• Scoring is indicative — qualification and relevance scores are heuristic-based signals, not authoritative ratings
• Results depend on TikTok's response — the actual number of creators found depends on what TikTok returns for each hashtag/keyword page
• Large discovery runs may return partial results depending on platform constraints
• Proxy recommended — residential proxies significantly improve success rates on TikTok

Proxy configuration

Residential proxies are recommended for reliable TikTok access.
