## What's an Apify Actor?

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).

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

## Lookalike Influencer Finder

Find similar creators from a seed username or profile URL across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

### Pricing

$6.00 / 1,000 similar creators.

### Owner configuration

Configure these as Apify Actor environment variables/secrets:

```text
CV_API_KEY=your_creativault_openapi_key
CV_USER_IDENTITY=apify-store@creativault.ai
CV_API_BASE_URL=your_creativault_openapi_base_url
````

`CV_API_KEY` must be secret. `CV_API_BASE_URL` is required and should be configured as an environment variable instead of being hard-coded in source files.

### Operation

Default operation: `lookalike`

This actor uses a fixed operation selected by its listing.

### Notes

- Empty searches and failed requests are not charged.
- Status polling is free unless a future PPE event is added.
- This actor uses the shared CreatiVault OpenAPI runner generated from the root project.
