## 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

## Social Media Finder & Profile Extractor - Apify Actor

Extract all official social media profile links (Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, GitHub, TikTok, Pinterest, Crunchbase) for any website domain.

***

### 🚀 Key Features

- **Multi-Platform Profile Extraction**: Discovers official company profiles on Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, GitHub, TikTok, Pinterest, Crunchbase, and Discord.
- **Structured Handle Mapping**: Generates clean social handle dictionaries (`social_handles`) for instant integration with CRMs and enrichment pipelines.
- **Confidence Scoring**: Categorizes profiles into `official_profiles`, `secondary_profiles`, and `questionable_profiles` with confidence percentages (`0%` to `100%`).
- **High Speed & Enterprise Reliability**: Powered by distributed edge architecture for zero IP blocking and fast turnaround (<500ms).

***

### 🎯 What People Use It For

- **B2B Lead Enrichment & Prospecting**: Enrich CRM leads and corporate profiles with direct social links for outreach.
- **Company Intelligence & Research**: Automatically gather social presence metrics for market research and competitive analysis.
- **Brand Verification & Audit**: Audit company websites to confirm official social account linkage and detect fake/impersonator profiles.
- **SaaS & Directory Platforms**: Auto-populate company directory listings and customer profile pages with verified social media badges.

***

### 📌 Decision Rule & Usage Recommendation

Check if `success === true` AND `official_profiles.length > 0`. Access `social_handles` directly to retrieve specific network links (e.g., `social_handles.linkedin` or `social_handles.twitterx`).

***

### 💡 What Problem Does This Solve?

- *"Manual searching for company social links across 10+ social platforms is slow and prone to errors."*
- *"Broken or missing social links on sales lead lists and corporate enrichment databases."*
- *"Difficulty distinguishing official company accounts from user-generated content or fan pages."*

Social Media Finder delivers automated, low-latency social network extraction in a single API or Actor run.

});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "url": "stripe.com"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("dev00/social-media-finder-api").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "url": "stripe.com"
}' |
apify call dev00/social-media-finder-api --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,dev00/social-media-finder-api"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
