Influencer Scraper

🔎 Build creator lists across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube

Influencer Scraper helps marketers, agencies, creator teams, and researchers find public influencer profiles. Search TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube with keywords, or add usernames, @handles, and public profile URLs. Get one structured dataset row per accepted profile with source links, profile metrics, and useful context for outreach and campaign research.

Use this influencer scraper for influencer marketing, outreach research, competitor tracking, campaign planning, or social media reporting.

For a small first run, keep the prefilled skincare creator and fitness creator targets. The default run checks TikTok and YouTube, allows up to 10 profiles per target, and requests up to 6 recent public posts per profile when the source exposes them. Add Instagram in the platform selector when you need Instagram profile checks too.

• Build a shortlist from a search keyword with Skincare Creator.
• Find contacts for outreach research with Fitness Creator.
• Build a campaign shortlist with Travel Influencer.
• Research a clothing niche with Streetwear Influencer.
• Find recipe creators for outreach with Vegan Recipe Creator.
• Search for founders in a software niche with B2B SaaS Founder.

📊 Export useful influencer profile data

Each saved row is one accepted public influencer profile. It keeps the first eligible match, with the original target, target position, platform, match type, rank, profile link, and public evidence links. It also includes public identity, available audience and activity metrics, profile context, visible emails, and optional recent post previews. If the same profile appears again for another target, that later match is ignored.

▶️ Search by niche or check known profiles

1. Open the Input tab.
2. Add one target per line in Influencer targets. You can mix keywords, usernames, @handles, and public profile URLs.
3. Choose one or more platforms to search.
4. Keep Result order on Relevance for source-ranked discovery, or sort by followers or engagement.
5. Set Influencers per target and Recent posts per profile.
6. Start the run and open the dataset when it finishes.

For keyword discovery, use natural topics or niches, such as vegan recipe creator, streetwear influencer, or B2B SaaS founder. For exact lookups, add values such as @charlidamelio, instagram:natgeo, youtube:MrBeast, https://www.youtube.com/@MrBeast, or https://www.instagram.com/natgeo/.

Use a public profile URL when you want to enrich it with follower counts, bios, categories, and recent post evidence.

❓ FAQ

What happens when the same profile matches more than one target?

The first eligible match is saved with its original target, position, rank, and public evidence links. A later match for that profile is ignored.

What if a source does not show a metric?

The related optional field may be omitted, and an array may be empty. The Actor does not invent values that the source does not expose.

Can I leave Influencers per target empty?

Yes. Leave it empty to save all available profiles until the source is exhausted. Enter a positive value to limit profiles for each target.

Can I return profiles without recent posts?

Yes. Set Recent posts per profile to 0 when you only need profile-level metrics.

What happens to private or unavailable profiles?

The run continues through unsupported, missing, private, blocked, or temporarily unavailable profiles. The issue is reported in the run log, and no fake profile row is saved.

Which platforms does it search?

It searches public profiles on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. It does not search X, Facebook, Twitch, Reddit, Pinterest, Threads, or LinkedIn.

Does it scrape private data or follower lists?

No. It collects public profile data only. It does not scrape private profiles, follower lists, following lists, comments, stories, inboxes, paid analytics, or hidden contact data.

Do I need social media logins or API keys?

No. The Actor uses public TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube data and does not ask for cookies, account credentials, or platform API keys.

Can it search by keyword or check an exact profile?

Yes. Add a niche, topic, product, or audience keyword, or add a username, @handle, platform-prefixed username, or public profile URL. Exact targets are resolved as profile lookups when the platform is clear.

Does it return recent posts?

It can include recent public post previews when the source exposes them. Keyword results can change because each platform controls ranking, availability, and visible public data.
