# Bulk-check startup name handles for availability

**Use case:** 

Checks a shortlist of four candidate names across five platforms in one run, so you can pick the name with the cleanest handle set. Each row gives platform, handle, availability, and the taken-profile URL. Add or replace entries in handles, and trim platforms to the ones that matter for your audience.

## Input

```json
{
  "handles": [
    "nimbusflow",
    "nimbusflowhq",
    "getnimbusflow",
    "trynimbus"
  ],
  "platforms": [
    "tiktok",
    "youtube",
    "twitter",
    "github",
    "twitch"
  ],
  "proxy": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "handle": {
    "label": "Handle",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "available_tiktok": {
    "label": "TikTok",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "available_pinterest": {
    "label": "Pinterest",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "available_youtube": {

  "available_twitter": {

## 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.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

- **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`.
