🔎 TikTok influencer search by niche, keyword, or name

This TikTok influencer search tool helps you discover public TikTok creators by creator name, username, niche, brand, or keyword. Enter up to 10 search terms and collect matching creator profiles in a structured Apify dataset—without a TikTok login, browser, phone, or emulator.

Turn searches such as fitness coach, skincare, OpenAI, or a username into ranked creator profiles. Every row retains the query that found it for easier review and shortlisting.

✨ What can this TikTok influencer search tool do?

• 🔍 Search creators your way: Use names, usernames, niches, topics, brands, or keywords.
• 📚 Run multiple searches together: Submit 1–10 queries in a single run.
• 🎯 Choose your target size: Request 20–1,000 creators per query. TikTok may return fewer when fewer matching accounts are available.
• 👤 Enrich public profiles: Optionally add bios, bio links, public counters, region, and full profile images.
• 🧹 Keep results organized: Duplicate suggestions are removed and every creator includes the originating query and search rank.
• 📤 Export creator data: Download JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or another Apify-supported format.
• ⚙️ Automate repeat searches: Run the Actor through Apify Console, the API, client libraries, schedules, or integrations.

🚀 How to search for influencers on TikTok

1. Add a clear niche or keyword to Search queries, such as vegan recipes, personal finance, or gaming creator.
2. Add more queries to explore several niches, brands, or known creators in one run.
3. Choose a target from 20 to 1,000 creators per query.
4. Turn on Enrich profiles when you need public bios, bio links, full counters, region, and larger profile images.
5. Click Start, review the ranked results, and export or connect the dataset to your next workflow.

Use specific phrases such as London fitness coach or sustainable fashion creator for more focused results. A query guides TikTok's suggestions; it is not a location or audience filter.

📥 Input

Field	Required	What it controls
searchQueries	Yes	1–10 creator names, usernames, niches, brands, or keywords.
maxCreatorsPerQuery	No	Target number of creators for each query, from 20 to 1,000. Default: 20.
enrichProfiles	No	Adds available public profile details. Default: false.

Example search

{
  "searchQueries": ["fitness coach", "sustainable fashion"],
  "maxCreatorsPerQuery": 100,
  "enrichProfiles": true
}

📤 What TikTok profile data is returned?

The Actor saves one row per discovered creator. Some counters can be empty in TikTok's suggestion response; enrichment requests more public profile fields when available.

Data group	Available fields
Search context	Original query and result rank
Creator identity	TikTok user ID, secure user ID, username, nickname, profile URL, and avatar
Profile details	Bio, bio link, profile image, and region when enrichment succeeds
Audience and activity	Followers, following, total likes received, and video count when available
Account signals	Verified, business, private, TikTok Shop, seller, and live-status flags
Enrichment status	Whether profile enrichment was requested, enriched, partial, or unavailable

Example search output

With enrichProfiles set to false, each discovery result has the following shape. TikTok may omit counters from its suggestion response, in which case their values are null.

{
  "query": "fitness coach",
  "id": "1234567890123456789",

TikTok app search	Interactive, one-query browsing	Run 1–10 keywords or names together and save ranked public profiles.
TikTok One / Creator Marketplace	Official filters, analytics, invitations, and projects	Discover creators by keyword or name without TikTok One access, then export or automate the dataset.

💵 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-result pricing with no start fee:

Result	Price
Discovered creator	$0.005
Successful profile enrichment	+$0.002

For example, 100 regular creator results cost $0.50. If all 100 profiles are successfully enriched, the total is $0.70. A blocked, private, or unavailable profile still keeps its discovery row but does not incur the enrichment charge.

⚠️ Important limitations

• The Actor returns creator accounts, not videos, comments, hashtags, follower lists, audience demographics, engagement rates, or private contact details.
• Search results come from TikTok's creator suggestions and are not a complete TikTok influencer database.
• The requested result count is a target, not a guarantee. A search stops when TikTok returns no new matching creators.
• The current search environment uses US routing and does not provide country, language, follower-range, engagement, or audience filters.
• Profile enrichment works only when a public profile is available. Unavailable profiles remain in the dataset with an appropriate status.
• Results can change as TikTok updates profiles, recommendations, and platform behavior.

❓ Frequently asked questions

How to find a TikTok creator?

Enter a creator name, username, niche, brand, or keyword in searchQueries, choose a target, and run the Actor. TikTok returns matching creator suggestions in ranked order. Enable enrichment for available bios and public account counters, then export the dataset to qualify the creators.

Can I search TikTok users by name?

Yes. The Actor works as a TikTok username search tool for public accounts. Search a full or partial display name or username to return available usernames, nicknames, profile URLs, TikTok IDs, and result ranks without providing TikTok credentials or accessing private account data.

Why are some results or profile fields missing?

TikTok may return fewer suggestions than requested or omit counters. The Actor requests additional deduplicated results where possible. Turn on enrichProfiles for more public details; private, blocked, or unavailable profiles remain in the dataset with an enrichment status.

Can I export the TikTok creator list?

Yes. Download the dataset from Apify Console in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or another supported format, or retrieve it through the Apify API.
