VK Influencer Email Finder — Russian Creator Leads

Find public creators on VK, VKontakte, and VK Video by niche and export outreach-ready leads. The Actor discovers creators through their public niche videos, enriches their VK profile or community, applies strict audience/location/language filters, and can return only creators with an explicit public contact channel.

No VK login, customer API token, browser, residential proxy, or CAPTCHA service is required. The normal path is anonymous HTTP, which keeps platform usage low.

What makes a result qualified?

Each charged dataset row has passed every selected filter:

• Original niche or a bounded, traceable related/localized query
• Globally deduplicated VK creator owner
• Selected creator type: community/public page and/or personal profile
• Minimum and maximum audience size
• Optional minimum average views across keyword-matched video samples
• Optional verified-only filter
• Strict public country and language evidence when those filters are active
• At least one explicit public contact when onlyWithContact is enabled

The Actor continues through search pages and candidate profiles until it fills the requested qualified-result count, the public source is exhausted, or a configured safety limit is reached. A run that produces zero valid rows fails visibly instead of reporting a misleading success.

Quick start

{
  "keywords": ["косметика"],
  "maxCreatorsPerKeyword": 10,
  "minFollowers": 1000,
  "maxFollowers": 500000,
  "onlyWithContact": true,
  "keywordExpansion": "auto"
}

For the cheapest first validation, request one creator, keep expansion off, and avoid country/language filters:

{
  "keywords": ["фитнес"],
  "maxCreatorsPerKeyword": 1,
  "onlyWithContact": true,
  "keywordExpansion": "off",
  "maxPagesPerQuery": 2,
  "maxCandidatesPerKeyword": 40
}

Public contacts detected

The Actor extracts only information that creators published openly:

• Email addresses, including common (at) and [at] forms
• Phone numbers from explicit public contact text and VK community contact records
• Telegram, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X/Twitter, RuTube, and MAX
• Explicit profile/community websites
• Named VK community managers exposed by VK's public contact field

Generic VK profile URLs and unlabeled links inside a matched video's advertising copy do not satisfy the contact filter. This prevents ordinary content links from being sold as outreach contacts.

One row is one qualified creator lead:

Country and language evidence

Country filtering is deliberately strict. The Actor uses VK's explicit country field, a public profile city, or an unambiguous country/city mention in profile text. Unknown creators are excluded when a country filter is active; Russian-language text alone is not treated as proof of Russian residence.

Language detection combines creator profile text with the matched public video titles/descriptions and reports both confidence and evidence source. When a language filter is active, below-threshold or unknown results are excluded.

Keyword expansion

auto first searches the user's exact term and any localization required by active filters. If qualified results are still short, it adds a bounded set of curated Russian/English niche equivalents and hashtags independently observed across multiple creators.

broad accepts single-creator hashtag evidence and tries more variants. off uses only original/base-localized queries. Every expanded result records matchedQuery, relatedKeyword, and expansionSource so the discovery path remains auditable.

Русский

Actor ищет публичных авторов и сообщества VK/VK Video по тематике, проверяет размер аудитории, выборку просмотров, страну, язык и наличие контактов. Можно возвращать только лиды с публичным email, телефоном, Telegram, соцсетями, сайтом или указанным менеджером VK. Авторизация VK, браузер и прокси не нужны.

Для первого дешёвого запуска используйте один русский запрос, maxCreatorsPerKeyword: 1, keywordExpansion: "off" и не включайте строгий фильтр страны, если география не обязательна.

中文

本 Actor 按领域发现公开 VK/VK Video 达人及社群，筛选粉丝量、样本播放量、认证、国家和语言，并可只输出带公开邮箱、电话、Telegram、外部社媒、网站或 VK 负责人的合格线索。无需 VK 登录、浏览器、住宅代理或用户 API Token。

建议首次低成本验证使用 1 个俄语关键词、maxCreatorsPerKeyword: 1、关闭扩搜；只有确实需要地域约束时才开启国家过滤，因为公开地域未知的达人会被严格排除。

Limitations and responsible use

• Public content and public profile/community fields only; private, deleted, blocked, or unavailable owners are skipped.
• VK can change anonymous web responses without notice. The Actor validates shapes and fails visibly rather than fabricating leads.
• Contact availability varies by niche. Broaden the audience range, disable strict geography, or turn off onlyWithContact when a valid search is too narrow.
• Shortened URLs are retained but are not resolved, avoiding extra requests and redirect-tracking risk.
• Search ranking and engagement counts are point-in-time public snapshots.
• Use public contact data for legitimate, relevant outreach. Respect privacy, anti-spam law, platform terms, and opt-out requests.
