## Pricing

from $12.00 / 1,000 creator enricheds

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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

## TikTok Creator Contact Enrichment

Turn TikTok handles — or a hashtag — into **CRM-ready contact cards**: email,
Instagram / YouTube / X / Threads, website, follower count, engagement and account
category. Built for influencer outreach and creator lead-gen.

No login, no device. The actor reads TikTok's public profile data and follows each
creator's bio link (Linktree, Beacons, own site) to recover the contact email that
isn't shown in the bio — then verifies quality so you get real addresses, not noise.

### What you get

- **Contact email** — resolved from the bio, the bio-link hub, and the creator's own
  site's contact/about pages. Agency / management emails included (the real outreach path).
- **Reach & engagement** — followers, following, total likes, video count, plus derived
  `followerTier`, avg-likes-per-video and likes-per-follower.
- **Every platform** — Instagram, YouTube, X, Threads and website links from the bio hub.
- **Account signals** — verified badge, business/Shop-seller flag, category, region,
  account age, avatar.

### Two ways to use it

**Enrich handles you already have:**
```json
{ "handles": ["mkbhd", "https://www.tiktok.com/@gordonramsayofficial", "humphreytalks"] }
````

**Discover creators by hashtag, then enrich them:**

```json
{ "hashtags": ["skincare", "personalfinance"], "maxProfilesPerHashtag": 50, "onlyEmailFound": true }
```

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `handles` | string\[] | — | TikTok handles or profile URLs. |
| `hashtags` | string\[] | — | Discover creators from each hashtag's recent videos. |
| `maxProfilesPerHashtag` | integer | `50` | Cap creators collected per hashtag. |
| `onlyEmailFound` | boolean | `false` | Output only creators where an email was found (lead-list mode). |
| `skipProfiles` | string\[] | — | Handles already enriched — skipped before fetching, never re-charged. |
| `crawlBioLinks` | boolean | `true` | Follow bio links to recover emails. Higher yield. |
| `maxConcurrency` | integer | `10` | Profiles enriched in parallel. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Residential | Residential recommended. |

Provide `handles`, `hashtags`, or both.

### Output

One record per creator in the default dataset:

```json
{
  "handle": "humphreytalks",
  "nickname": "Humphrey Yang",
  "email": "humphreytalks@gmail.com",
  "emailSource": "bio",
  "emailStatus": "deliverable",
  "instagram": "humphreytalks",
  "youtube": "https://youtube.com/humphrey",
  "xUrl": "https://x.com/humphreytalks",
  "website": "humphreytalks.com",
  "phone": null,
  "followers": 3400000,
  "likes": 55000000,
  "videoCount": 611,
  "followerTier": "mega",
  "avgLikesPerVideo": 90016,
  "verified": true,
  "isBusinessAccount": false,
  "category": null,
  "discoveredFromHashtag": null
}
```

Email is resolved in order: **bio text → bio-link hub → the creator's own site**.
`emailSource` records which one hit; `emailStatus` flags domain-level deliverability
(`deliverable` = the domain publishes MX records and can receive mail, else `no_mx`).

### Pricing (pay per event)

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Creator enriched | $0.012 |

One flat price per creator — **everything included**: hashtag discovery, bio-link
crawling, cross-platform links, engagement metrics and email validation. No stacked
per-feature charges.

### How it works

1. Fetch the public TikTok profile and parse the embedded JSON (fast, no browser).
2. Build the card; if no email in the bio, follow the bio link → parse the hub for
   socials → crawl the creator's own site's contact pages.
3. Hashtag discovery and any challenged profiles run through a stealth browser
   (camoufox) with automatic IP-rotation retries, so results don't flake.

### Use cases

- Build creator outreach / lead lists for influencer campaigns.
- Source contacts for a niche by hashtag (skincare, fitness, finance…).
- Enrich an existing creator list with emails, socials, reach and engagement.

### Notes

- Email coverage runs roughly half of a varied creator set — creators who publish no
  email anywhere have none to find. Use `onlyEmailFound` for a pure lead list.
- Every account is honored: a challenged profile is retried, then written as a stub
  rather than silently dropped (unless `onlyEmailFound` is on).

# Actor input Schema

## `handles` (type: `array`):

TikTok handles or profile URLs to enrich, e.g. "zachking" or "https://www.tiktok.com/@zachking".

## `hashtags` (type: `array`):

Optional. For each hashtag, collect creators from its recent videos, then enrich them. Combine with or use instead of handles.

## `maxProfilesPerHashtag` (type: `integer`):

Cap how many creators to collect from each hashtag.

## `skipProfiles` (type: `array`):

Handles/URLs already enriched in a previous run — skipped before fetching, so never re-charged.

## `onlyEmailFound` (type: `boolean`):

Drop creators where no contact email was found (lead-list mode).

## `crawlBioLinks` (type: `boolean`):

Follow each creator's bio link (Linktree/Beacons/own site) to recover a contact email when it isn't in the bio. Slower but higher email yield.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Maximum profiles enriched in parallel.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy for the HTTP profile/site pass. Datacenter is fine and cheap; camoufox browser passes always use residential.

  "handles": [
    "mkbhd",
