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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Influencer Collection & Export Submit batch influencer collection jobs, then check status, fetch records, or export the completed task to xlsx/csv/html. ### Pricing $0.05/task, $0.03/export, $2/1k fetched records. ### How to use 1. Start a new collection task from profile URLs, usernames, creator profile URLs, post/video URLs, or keywords. 2. Copy the returned `task_id` from the run output. 3. Use the same `task_id` to check status, fetch records, or export a completed task. 4. To run everything in one run, enable `Wait for task completion`, then choose whether to fetch records or export a file after completion. Task type guide: | Input type | Choose this task type | What it returns | |---|---|---| | Creator profile URLs | `LINK_BATCH` | Creator profile records | | Creator usernames | `FILE_UPLOAD` | Creator profile records | | Creator profile URLs | `CREATOR_VIDEO` | Videos from those creators | | Post/video URLs | `POST_VIDEO` | Records for those videos | | Keywords or hashtags | `keywordCollectionSubmit` operation | Matching creator collection task | Twitter/X supports only profile URLs and usernames. ### Notes - Empty searches and failed requests are not charged. - Status polling is free. # Actor input Schema ## `operation` (type: `string`): Choose the workflow. Failed requests and status polling are not charged. ## `platform` (type: `string`): Platform used when starting a new collection task. Twitter/X supports only profile URLs and usernames. ## `taskType` (type: `string`): Choose what the Values list contains. Twitter/X supports only profile URLs and usernames, not video collection. ## `values` (type: `array`): Used by URL/username/video collection. Add profile URLs for profile collection, usernames for username collection, profile URLs for creator-video collection, or post/video URLs for post-video collection. ## `keywords` (type: `array`): Used only by keyword collection. Add up to 10 keywords or hashtags to discover and collect matching creators. ## `taskName` (type: `string`): Optional name shown in collection task records. ## `webhookUrl` (type: `string`): Optional HTTPS callback URL called when the collection task completes. ## `startTime` (type: `integer`): Optional Unix timestamp in seconds. Mainly used by creator-video and keyword collection. Leave empty to use the backend default. ## `endTime` (type: `integer`): Optional Unix timestamp in seconds. Defaults to current time when omitted. ## `waitForCompletion` (type: `boolean`): Poll task status before finishing. Status polling itself is free. ## `pollIntervalSeconds` (type: `integer`): Polling interval for async tasks. ## `maxPollAttempts` (type: `integer`): Maximum polling attempts before timing out. ## `taskId` (type: `string`): Required for checking status, fetching records, or exporting a completed collection task. ## `fetchData` (type: `boolean`): Only used when starting a task with Wait for task completion enabled. For the standalone Fetch records operation, records are fetched automatically. Returned records are charged at $2 per 1,000 records. ## `exportFormat` (type: `string`): Used by Export an existing task. Also used after submitting a task when Wait for task completion is enabled. Leave as Do not export to avoid automatic export after submit. Standalone export defaults to xlsx if omitted. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum records to fetch and charge for when using Fetch task data. ## `size` (type: `integer`): Page size for fetching task records. ## `maxRetries` (type: `integer`): Retries for temporary CreatiVault API rate-limit and server errors. ## Actor input object example ```json { "operation": "collectionSubmit", "platform": "tiktok", "taskType": "LINK_BATCH", "values": [ "https://www.tiktok.com/@momentosforest" ], "taskName": "Apify sample collection", "waitForCompletion": false, "pollIntervalSeconds": 60, "maxPollAttempts": 45, "fetchData": false, "exportFormat": "", "maxResults": 100, "size": 50, "maxRetries": 3 } ```` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Submitted task records, fetched creator records, and export metadata. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
