One click: pick a niche and press Start — it fills the search fields you left empty and runs the live search (spend-capped below). Your own values always win. Custom = fill the fields yourself.

Type:string

Default:custom

Options:

customclean-skincarespecialty-coffeetravel-tourismstudy-abroadpet-foodagency-multi-nichevet-my-list

Your niche, in English (or Chinese)

nicheKeywords

Optional

What your brand sells or what creators post about, e.g. camping gear — the AI adds the Chinese terms creators search. Typed next to the sample, it starts the live search (spend-capped below). The full live search needs a paid Apify plan; a plan that refuses it gets ≤ 5 real creators from zen-studio's scraper.

Type:array

Your brand brief

brandBrief

Optional

Brand, product, price point, target audience and campaign goal in plain words. The AI scores every creator's brand fit against it and writes the first DM from it — only facts you write here go into the DM (no invented fees or free products).

Type:string

Max qualified creators to output

maxQualified

Optional

Affects what you pay: the ceiling of what this Actor charges — at most this many × $0.02 with AI on (× $0.0077 with AI off), e.g. 50 × $0.02 = $1.00; the source's own spend has its cap right below. The best-scoring creators are output first.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:10000

Default:50

Max source spend (USD)

maxDiscoveryChargeUsd

Optional

Affects what you pay: hard cap on what the RedNote source runs may charge your account in actor mode (searches + profile lookups, estimated from the source's row price) — $1.00 in the form and for an API call that leaves it out.

Type:number

Minimum:0.01

Maximum:1000

Default:1

AI assessment

enableAi

Optional

Brand-fit score with reasons, English summary, translated note titles, risk and sponsored-post signals, and a Chinese DM with English gloss. On = $0.02 per qualified creator + AI tokens (≈ $0.009 measured); off = $0.0077. Your first 5 creators get live AI verdicts on any plan; all 25 free creators with Apify model access or a paid own key.

Type:boolean

Default:true

E-mail me the new creators (optional)

notifyEmail

Optional

The digest of each run with new creators (how many are new, the 5 to contact first, the top 10 with links), e-mailed here via Apify's send-mail Actor. Schedule the run weekly and only new creators reach your inbox. Never sent for the free demo. A delivered digest is one $0.05 event per run — your first 4 are free.

Type:string

Type:string

AI model access

llmProvider

Optional

Apify (no keys) — the AI runs through Apify's built-in OpenRouter proxy; tokens are billed to your Apify account at OpenRouter's rates. My own key — your OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini / Groq key instead; a free-tier key assesses only a few creators per run — expect 1–3 AI checks (2 calls at a time, one after a rate limit, then the 3 borderline creators retried one by one) — and the rest keep their rule score; a paid Groq / Gemini key (billing on) assesses every creator. Measured ≈ 4–9.1 s per creator with a Groq key (openai/gpt-oss-120b: 4 s on 2026-09-30, 9.1 s on 2026-09-29) — size a 50-creator timeout at ≈ 635 s.

Type:string

Default:2

Post the new creators to Slack (optional)

slackWebhookUrl

Optional

A Slack incoming-webhook URL (https://hooks.slack.com/services/…). After every run with at least one new creator, the digest (how many are new, the 5 to contact first, the top 10 with links) is posted to that channel as a readable message — not raw JSON. Never sent for the free demo.

Type:string

Post the new creators to Discord (optional)

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Maximum:100

Default:0

Never output the same creator twice

dedupeAcrossRuns

Where do the creators come from?

sourceMode

Optional

actor — search RedNote live with the source Actor on your account, billed by the source. dataset — an existing Apify dataset of RedNote notes / profiles. list — rows you paste in.

Type:string

Default:actor

Options:

actordatasetlist

autoSwitchToLive

Optional

On (default): a niche typed next to the untouched sample rows starts the live search (spend-capped; OUTPUT.switchedToLive names it).

API pipelines that must never start a paid read on their own: send false.

Type:boolean

Default:true

Any plan, no source cost: fill the README's list template from a Pugongying / Qiangua export or your own spreadsheet.

Type:array

Extra source input (advanced)

discoveryInput

Optional

Only for actor mode: fields merged into every search call of the source Actor as-is (see its input schema). The live search runs that Store Actor on your Apify plan — if your plan cannot run Store Actors, paste your own rows in list mode (any plan); dataset only for a dataset you already have from another account or tool.

Type:object

Source runs at once

sourceConcurrency

Optional

How many source runs (searches, profile lookups) run in parallel on your account.

Type:integer
