Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Social Media Profile Finder Pro ### Introduction Social Media Profile Finder Pro checks a username against **400+ social platforms simultaneously** and returns only the accounts that actually exist — no noise, no false positives, just confirmed live profile URLs. Networks covered include Twitter/X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, GitHub, Reddit, Pinterest, Twitch, Facebook, Snapchat, Steam, Telegram, Medium, Substack, Behance, Dribbble, SoundCloud, Spotify, Flickr, Tumblr, VK, and 280+ more. [![Watch the video](https://img.youtube.com/vi/TxIfi4f-sUU/maxresdefault.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxIfi4f-sUU) ### Features - Search 400+ social networks in a single run - Bulk username input — paste hundreds at once - Returns only confirmed, active profiles - Direct URLs for every found account - Residential proxy support for platforms that block datacenter IPs - Structured JSON output, one row per username --- ### Use Cases - **OSINT & investigations** — Map a person's full online presence from a single username - **Brand monitoring** — Check if your brand name is registered across all major platforms - **Competitor research** — Find every channel a competitor uses for content distribution - **Recruiting & vetting** — Verify social media presence for candidates or partners - **Username squatting detection** — Identify impersonation accounts across networks - **Lead enrichment** — Add social profile data to contact lists at scale --- ### Usage #### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `usernames` | List of strings | Yes | Usernames to search. Add row by row or bulk-paste a list. | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings. Defaults to Apify Residential Proxy for best results. | Use the bulk edit button in the Apify Console to paste hundreds of usernames at once (one per line). ```json { "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" }, "usernames": [ "onescales" ] } ```` **Tips:** - Use the exact username as it appears on profiles (case-sensitive on some platforms) - For bulk runs of 50+ usernames, set memory to 2 GB+ in Run settings - Common usernames (e.g. `john`) will return many results — specific usernames give cleaner data #### Output One dataset row per username. Only **found** profiles are returned in the `profiles` array. ```json { "username": "onescales", "found": 3, "profiles": [ { "site": "GitHub", "url": "https://github.com/onescales/" }, { "site": "Twitter", "url": "https://twitter.com/onescales" }, { "site": "Reddit", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/user/onescales" } ] } ``` Each profile object contains: - `site` — name of the social network - `url` — direct URL to the profile *** ### Support Questions or need additional features?

Add rows one by one or use bulk edit to paste many at once. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Residential proxies improve results on major platforms that block datacenter IPs. Uses Apify Residential Proxy by default. ## Actor input object example ```json { "usernames": [ "onescales" ], "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `profileResults` (type: `string`): Found social media profiles for all searched usernames # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "usernames": [ "onescales" ], "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("onescales/social-media-profile-finder-pro").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
