## 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.

## 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.

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

## Influencer Fake-Follower Risk Scorer

Screen creator audience samples for synthetic or low-quality follower risk using account completeness, following ratios, account age, inactivity, usernames, duplicate avatars, comments, geography, language, growth spikes, and engagement anomalies.

### What it actually does

Profile risk score, confidence, sample metrics, growth metrics, weighted signals, evidence and review recommendation.

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

The result is a risk screen based on supplied samples, not proof that followers are fake or that misconduct occurred. 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.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("kayhermes/influencer-fake-follower-risk-scorer").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);
});
