# Cross-Platform Creator Identity Resolver (`kayhermes/cross-platform-creator-identity-resolver`) Actor - **URL**: https://apify.com/kayhermes/cross-platform-creator-identity-resolver.md - **Developed by:** [Khoa Nguyen](https://apify.com/kayhermes) (community) - **Categories:** Social media - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing Pay per usage This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

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. 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 ## Cross-Platform Creator Identity Resolver Resolve creator profiles across platforms using first-party identifiers, cross-links, domains, usernames, names, bios, locations, avatar hashes and external IDs. Produce pair-level evidence and clustered entities. ### What it actually does Profile-pair match decisions and creator entity clusters with evidence, conflicts and confidence. Supports inline JSON, an Apify Dataset, and public/signed JSON or CSV URLs. Source collection from social platforms is intentionally decoupled so users can connect any permitted scraper or export. ### Inputs Use `profiles[]`, `datasetId`, or `sourceUrls`. See `sample_input.json` and the Apify input schema for exact fields. ### Outputs - Default Dataset: detailed result rows and a run summary - `OUTPUT`: machine-readable run summary - `REPORT.html`: reviewable HTML report ### Limitations Possible matches require human review. Do not use identity resolution for prohibited surveillance or to expose private identities. The Actor analyzes supplied data; it does not bypass platform access controls or guarantee that upstream data is complete. ### Local validation ```bash npm ci npm test npm run check npm start ```` ### Deploy ```bash apify login apify push ``` Use `APIFY_TOKEN` from secure environment storage. Never commit credentials. # Actor input Schema ## `profiles` (type: `array`): Public or authorized profiles from two or more platforms. ## `datasetId` (type: `string`): Provide Source Dataset ID. ## `sourceUrls` (type: `array`): Provide CSV or JSON source URLs. ## `config` (type: `object`): Adjust thresholds or permit same-platform duplicate comparison. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Provide Maximum profiles. ## `webhookUrl` (type: `string`): Provide Completion webhook. ## Actor input object example ```json { "profiles": [ { "profileId": "ig-1", "platform": "instagram", "username": "KhoaFood", "displayName": "Khoa Nguyen", "bio": "Michigan food creator.
