TikTok Creator Search Scraper — Qualified Creators, Not Every Handle

Find TikTok creators worth contacting in any niche: type a niche (or paste usernames) and get one row per creator with followers, median views of recent videos, engagement rate, posting cadence, last video date and a score with its reasons. Built for influencer marketing and outreach lists. No login.

Price: $4 per 1,000 qualified creators. The first 3 creators of every run are free.

The form is prefilled: press Start to see real creators in seconds.

Free tier — 3 results free on every run

The free results waive this Actor's own fee; the source Actor (xmolodtsov/tiktok-search-scraper) still bills its own price for every row it returns.

The first 3 results of every run are free, on every run you ever make — not a one-off trial. One guard: the free allowance never covers more than half of a run, so the offer stays sustainable.

Why not just scrape every profile

Reliability is the whole point here: every creator is scored — recent activity, engagement relative to follower count, posting cadence — before it counts toward your bill, and one failed handle never takes the rest of the batch down with it.

5 advantages

1. One bad handle never kills your batch. A private or deleted profile returns an error for that item only; every other creator still delivers.
2. Never billed on a failed lookup. Only qualified creators actually delivered are charged.
3. Score with reasons, not a black box. Every qualification_score ships with score_reasons[] — the exact factors and their weight.
4. Contact honestly disclosed, never guessed. TikTok bios rarely carry a public email; when one is found it is marked published, and public_contact stays null otherwise rather than a fabricated guess.
5. Hard cost cap you control. Set maxTotalChargeUsd and the run can never bill above it.

Pricing

• Source Actor charge: this Actor runs xmolodtsov/tiktok-search-scraper inside your run, and Apify bills that run to your account at xmolodtsov/tiktok-search-scraper's own price (about $0.3 per 1,000 results, read on 2026-10-23; from 30 October 2026 it also bills $0.0007 per creator profile, which this Actor asks for when you require a contact), on top of this Actor's price. Each call to it is capped at $0.50. Pay per event, base FREE-tier prices: $0.004 per qualified creator delivered, $0.002 per verified business contact. Paid Store plans pay less on every event — the largest plans reach $0.0011 on the cheapest event; the Pricing tab on this Actor's Store page is always the authority. No event is ever charged on an item that returns an error — a batch of 200 with one bad input bills 199.

Use it from an AI agent (MCP and x402)

Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client to Apify's MCP server at https://mcp.apify.com and add this Actor, om_kh/tiktok-creator-search-scraper, as a tool — the agent passes the same JSON as the run input and gets the dataset back.

AI agents that pay with x402 can run it too, without an Apify account: the Actor charges only per result delivered, so an agent pays exactly for what it gets.

Use it from code (API)

Every Apify Actor is an API. Start a run and read the results with one call.

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("om_kh/tiktok-creator-search-scraper").call(run_input={"keywords": ["productivity apps"], "usernames": ["khaby.lame"], "minMedianRecentViews": 0, "activeWithinDays": 90, "requireContact": False, "maxResults": 100})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('om_kh/tiktok-creator-search-scraper').call({
    "keywords": [
        "productivity apps"
    ],
    "usernames": [
        "khaby.lame"
    ],
    "minMedianRecentViews": 0,
    "activeWithinDays": 90,
    "requireContact": false,
    "maxResults": 100
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

One HTTP call (cURL) — runs the Actor and returns the dataset in the same response:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/om_kh~tiktok-creator-search-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keywords": ["productivity apps"], "usernames": ["khaby.lame"], "minMedianRecentViews": 0, "activeWithinDays": 90, "requireContact": false, "maxResults": 100}'
