## 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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

### Public profile data across five platforms

One input for public Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube and X profiles. Supply known account URLs; no customer social login, proxy setup or SIN API key is needed.

Refresh an existing creator roster, enrich account records in your own dashboard, or export public bios and available audience counts to a spreadsheet. This is an **Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube and X (Twitter) profile scraper for known URLs**, not a creator search engine.

### Quick start

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console and paste public profile URLs.
2. Set a small result limit and run spending limit, then click **Start**.
3. Open the dataset and export JSON, CSV or Excel. Check `status` and missing fields before importing.

```json
{"urls":["https://www.youtube.com/@NASA","https://x.com/NASA"],"maxResults":100}
```

### What you get

Each unique input produces an outcome: platform, canonical URL, status, availability, username, display name, biography, public profile image, available follower/following/post counts, precision and observation time. Missing values are `null`, never invented zeros. Rounded provider values remain labeled. A successful result must be observed after the refresh began; old profiles are not presented as fresh.

Supported URLs are canonical profile handles, YouTube channel IDs/handles, and Facebook page/profile URLs. Search, followers lists, private content, contact enrichment and keyword discovery are not included. A public URL does not guarantee that the upstream platform will return all fields.

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `username`, `displayName`, `biography` | Public identity and bio, when available |
| `profileImageUrl` | Public image URL, not an image download |
| `metrics.followers`, `metrics.following`, `metrics.posts` | Available counts; unknown values are null |
| `precision` | Evidence about exact/rounded counts; null is not an exactness guarantee |
| `status`, `availability`, `observedAt` | Outcome, accessibility and observation time |

Illustrative output excerpt, not live data:

```json
{
  "url": "https://x.com/example",
  "platform": "x",
  "status": "succeeded",
  "availability": "available",
  "fresh": true,
  "username": "example",
  "displayName": "Example Creator",
  "biography": "An illustrative public bio.",
  "metrics": { "followers": 1200, "following": null, "posts": 80 },
  "precision": { "followers": null, "following": null, "posts": null },
  "observedAt": "2026-09-09T12:00:00.000Z"
}
```

### Limits and cost

Up to 1,000 URLs per run, canonical deduplication, and a maximum-result cap. Only delivered fresh successful profiles are billable. Invalid, unavailable and failed outcomes are free of successful-result charges. Launch price: **$3 per 1,000 successful profiles**, with Apify platform usage separate where applicable. The Console pricing tab is authoritative.

For example, 100 successful profiles generate **$0.30 in result charges**. A fresh valid profile can be successful and billable even if all counts are unavailable. Counts are not guaranteed on every platform: YouTube may return profile details with null counts, and Facebook may expose rounded values. Test the fields your workflow requires first.

Results appear in the default dataset. The key-value store `OUTPUT` contains the canonical deduplicated results and summary. Use `resultId` for deduplication after interrupted dataset delivery. Aborting stops new submissions, but SIN work already submitted may finish. Provider errors and rate limits can cause partial or failed runs; this is not a completeness or uptime guarantee.

Built and maintained by NooEsc, powered by SIN. Only request public content you are entitled to process; follow applicable platform terms and privacy requirements.

### API, workflow and support

Use the **API** tab for this Actor's request and SDK examples with the same input JSON. You need your Apify token, not Instagram cookies or a SIN key. For a creator spreadsheet, join exported rows to your roster by `url` and keep `observedAt` when comparing future runs. Audience growth is a calculation in your workflow, not an output of this Actor.

Report problems in the [Issues tab](https://apify.com/nooesc/social-media-account-profiles/issues) with a run URL and expected versus actual result. Never share tokens, cookies or private data.

### Need posts or comments instead?

- [Post Metrics](https://apify.com/nooesc/social-media-post-metrics): refresh known post URLs across all five platforms.
- [Public Comments](https://apify.com/nooesc/social-media-public-comments): export comment text with explicit coverage.
- [Recent Account Posts](https://apify.com/nooesc/social-media-recent-account-posts): collect recent Instagram, TikTok and X post URLs from profiles.

echo '{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.youtube.com/@NASA"
  ]

apify call nooesc/social-media-account-profiles --silent --output-dataset

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,nooesc/social-media-account-profiles"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
