TikTok Lookalike Finder

Find TikTok creators similar to any account: matched on what their videos are about, ranked 0–1, with followers, engagement and bio emails. Give it one or more creators you want more of. It reads their latest videos, works out the niche from the hashtags they keep coming back to, collects the creators posting in that niche, and ranks them by how much of it they share and how close their audience size is. No login, no cookies.

Input	What you get
brynn_ann (sourdough, 177k)	Ranked sourdough and baking creators, most with a business email
romantrains + marielaxfit	Fitness creators, the ones matching both seeds first
Any seed + maxFollowers: 100000	Micro-influencers in the same niche

Why Use This Scraper?

• It matches on content, not on TikTok's suggestions. TikTok's "suggested accounts" for a logged-out visitor is the same celebrity list whoever you ask about: a sourdough baker and a comedian both get Bad Bunny and The Rock. This actor reads what the seed actually posts.
• Measured before release. On five niches, the top 10 were the seed's own niche 8 to 10 times out of 10 for sourdough, home workouts, tech reviews and travel. A sourdough seed returned 12 of 12 sourdough and baking creators, 8 of them with a business email in their bio.
• Several seeds rank together. A creator matching two of your seeds outranks one matching only one, so a short list of your best partners finds their closest peers.
• Contact-ready. Business emails are pulled from each creator's bio, and onlyWithEmail keeps just the ones you can reach.
• Filters that matter for outreach: follower range (find micro-influencers), content language, exclude lists, private accounts.
• Pay per creator delivered. A seed that can't be read costs nothing.

How It Works

1. Read the seed — its profile and its last 30 videos.
2. Find its niche — the hashtags it uses again and again, minus the ones on every video (#fyp, #viral, #ad…). A creator who never hashtags is matched on the words its captions and bio repeat instead, and those rows say matchMethod: "keywords".
3. Collect creators posting under each niche term.
4. Score each one 0–1: 70% for how many of the seed's terms it shares, 30% for how close its follower count is. With several seeds the score is the mean over all of them.
5. Filter and deliver the best matches, each with its profile, a bio email when there is one, and engagement over the videos the run saw.

A seed that can't be used returns a row with error, message and errorKind instead: seed_not_found, invalid_username, or no_niche_signal for a private seed or one whose videos give nothing to match on.

Free Apify plan

On the free Apify plan, a run takes 1 seed and returns up to 20 creators, and the first 3 come back in full, so you can check the data. After that, rows keep the rank, username, profile URL, nickname, verified flag, region, language, matched seeds and match method, while the bio, email, avatar URL, shared terms, sample video links and sample engagement rate are hidden and the follower, heart and video counts and the match score are rounded to their order of magnitude, and a freePlanNote field marks those rows. Any paid Apify plan returns every field in full.

Use Cases

• Influencer campaigns — start from the three creators who performed best for you and get their closest peers, ranked.
• Micro-influencer discovery — set maxFollowers and get the smaller creators in a big creator's niche, who are cheaper and often convert better.
• Agency prospecting — build niche creator lists with business emails in one run.
• Competitive mapping — see who else posts in a competitor's niche and at what size.

FAQ

Why not use TikTok's own "suggested accounts"? Because for a logged-out request it isn't personalised. Ask about a sourdough baker or a comedian and you get the same list of pop stars. Matching on the seed's own content is what makes the results specific.

What does matchMethod: "keywords" mean? The seed never uses hashtags, so its niche was taken from the words its captions and bio repeat. These matches are broader than hashtag matches — expect a looser niche fit for seeds like that.

Why do scores look lower with several seeds? The score is the mean over every seed, and a creator matching one seed of two scores 0 for the other. Creators matching all your seeds rise to the top, which is the point.

Is the engagement rate the creator's real average? It is computed over the videos this run saw for that creator, usually one to four, and says so in sampleVideoCount. Treat it as a quick signal, not an audit.

Do I need a TikTok account? No. Nothing here logs in.

Notes & Limitations

• Seeds with a hidden or empty video history can't be matched and return a no_niche_signal row.
• region is only filled when TikTok reports it, which is not the case for every creator, so there is no region filter; use languages to narrow by audience.
• Very large, niche-less accounts (celebrities who post without hashtags) make poor seeds. Pick creators whose content is clearly about something.

🤖 For AI Agents & LLM Apps

One required field, a flat ranked output and a numeric matchScore make this an easy tool call: pass seeds, optionally a follower range and onlyWithEmail, then read the rows in order. sharedTerms and matchedSeeds say why each creator matched, which an agent can quote when proposing a shortlist. Available over the Apify API and MCP.
