TikTok Creator Finder — Influencer Discovery

Find TikTok creators in your niche and turn keyword searches into a ranked influencer shortlist. Compare public profile details, follower counts, topic relevance, posting activity and engagement from the videos discovered in each run.

Built for influencer discovery, brand partnerships, creator outreach research and niche analysis. No TikTok login or TikTok API key is required.

What you get

One dataset row per creator, deduplicated by creator ID. Creators are ranked by topic relevance, then the age of their newest discovered video, then followers.

• Profile: username, display name, bio, verification status, avatar and available public counters.
• Activity: age of the newest discovered video and an activity tier.
• Performance: average video views, average view-based engagement and average views relative to followers.
• Relevance: a 0–100 keyword-based score, matched terms and the strongest matching query.
• Evidence: discovered videos with public metrics and the creator's matching sourceQueries. If one video appears under multiple queries, those queries are retained while the video is counted once.

Quick start

1. Enter 1–10 niche keywords, such as skincare routine and makeup tutorial.
2. Select search localization and optional follower, activity, language or relevance filters.
3. Choose a creator limit and run the Actor.
4. Review the dataset and export it as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Start broadly, then tighten filters. maxCreators is an upper limit; discovery depth, availability and filters can produce fewer results.

Example input

{
  "searchQueries": ["skincare routine", "makeup tutorial"],
  "region": "US",
  "minFollowers": 1000,
  "maxFollowers": 100000,
  "maxInactiveDays": 90,
  "activityMatch": "strict",
  "language": "en",
  "languageMatch": "strict",
  "minRelevance": 20,
  "maxCreators": 25,
  "maxCandidatesPerQuery": 30,
  "maxPagesPerQuery": 2,
  "maxRunSeconds": 180,
  "includeRecentVideos": true
}

This example targets a focused shortlist. Remove filters if your initial search is too narrow.

Input guide

Setting	Default	How to use it
searchQueries	["hiking"] in Console	1–10 nonempty keyword phrases; required when supplying your own input.
region	US	Uppercase two-letter search-localization code. This is not a creator or audience country filter. The default proxy country is configured separately as US.
minFollowers, maxFollowers	0, 0	Set follower bounds; 0 disables that bound. Unknown follower counts remain eligible.
verifiedOnly	false	Include only profiles marked verified when enabled.
maxInactiveDays	0	Maximum age of the newest discovered video; 0 disables the filter.
activityMatch	lenient	When the activity filter is enabled, strict excludes unknown activity; lenient keeps it.
minRelevance	0	Minimum keyword-based relevance score from 0 to 100.
language	any	Use any or a lowercase two-letter language code, such as en.
languageMatch	lenient	With a language filter, strict excludes undetected language. Both modes exclude a different detected language.
maxCreators	25	Maximum creator rows, from 1 to 200.
maxCandidatesPerQuery	30	Videos requested per search page, from 1 to 100.
maxPagesPerQuery	2	Search pages per keyword, from 1 to 5.
maxRunSeconds	180	Soft collection budget, from 30 to 240 seconds.
includeRecentVideos	true	Include discovered video objects. When false, recentVideos contains an integer count instead.
proxyConfiguration	Apify residential proxy, US	Residential proxies are the default. Keep proxy country aligned with your intended search localization.

Increasing search depth requests more candidates; it does not guarantee more eligible creators.

Output fields and metric definitions

Fields	Meaning
authorId, uniqueId, nickname, bio, verified, avatarUrl	Creator identity and available public profile details.
followers, heartCount, videoCount, followingCount	Available profile counters. A missing value is null, not zero.
lastUploadDaysAgo, activityTier	Age of the newest discovered video. Tiers: very active ≤30 days, active ≤90, dormant ≤365, inactive >365, or unknown.
avgViewsPerVideo	Arithmetic mean of available views across discovered videos.
engagementRatePct	Mean of each eligible video's 100 × (likes + comments + shares) / views. Missing interaction components are treated as zero when at least one is available.
avgReachMultiple	Mean video views divided by the available creator follower count, where both are positive.
topicConfirmation	Keyword-based relevance score, confidence, matched terms and strongest matching query.
language, languageConfidence, languageOrigin	Estimated language from bio and video-description text; undetected language is null.
discoveredVideos, recentVideos	Number of discovered videos and their details, or a count in compact mode.
sourceQueries	Search queries that led to this creator, including cross-query video matches.

Performance metrics describe the discovered sample. They do not measure the creator's whole catalog or audience demographics. Engagement is view-based, not follower-based.

API and integrations

Run through the Apify API using the Actor ID jrji0RKG4kmshtyHH:

POST https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/jrji0RKG4kmshtyHH/runs
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN
Content-Type: application/json

Send an input JSON object like the example above, then retrieve items from the run's default dataset. You can also save your input as an Apify Task for repeated research and connect dataset exports to your own analysis workflow.

Result quality and troubleshooting

• Fewer rows than requested: broaden keywords, relax filters or increase search depth within the input limits. Empty results can be valid when no discovered creators pass your filters.
• Unknown language or activity: use the lenient policy to retain unknowns, or strict to exclude them.
• No matches for a niche: try natural phrases used in video captions and a few related keywords.
• Collection failures: check the run log and run summary. Search availability, blocking and upstream changes can affect results; a completed run can still contain partial or empty output.

This is a bounded search sample, not a complete directory of TikTok accounts. Search ranking favors discoverable videos. The newest discovered video may be older than the creator's actual latest upload, so activity is an upper bound on inactivity.

Language detection uses text heuristics and can misclassify multilingual or short text; it does not analyze spoken audio. Relevance is a keyword signal, not an independently verified niche label. Public counters may be unavailable, rounded or updated in batches. No verified contact-email enrichment, audience-country verification or private-account content is provided.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.05 per run start + $0.009 per creator profile written to the dataset.

Creator profiles returned	Event charges
0	$0.05
25	$0.275
100	$0.95

The start fee applies once with the supported 512 MB–1 GB memory allocation, including runs with no matching creators. Each unique creator written in a run is charged once, even if several queries discover that creator. Returning the same creator on a later run is charged again. Including discovered video details does not add per-video charges.

Set a maximum charge for each run to control spending. The minimum allowed run budget is $0.06. If the remaining budget cannot cover another creator, the Actor stops output and reports a partial result. With a $0.07 limit, for example, the start fee and up to two creator profiles fit within the budget.

Current event prices are shown in the Pricing tab.
