## 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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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

## Douyin Content Opportunity Finder

Turn real Douyin keyword-search results into ranked, actionable content ideas.

This Actor is for creators, agencies, and brands that need to answer: **what
should we publish next, based on evidence rather than generic AI guessing?**

### What it delivers

Each result contains:

- a 0–100 opportunity score
- a recommended topic based on a real high-performing video
- a suggested opening hook
- transparent reasons for the score
- the example video and creator
- likes, comments, shares, saves, follower count, and normalized engagement

The scoring favors strong engagement relative to creator size, saving and
sharing intent, direct keyword relevance, and examples from creators comparable
to your account.

### Pricing

One completed content opportunity report costs **$4.99** and returns up to 100
ranked opportunities. The report is charged once only after live source data has
been collected and at least one qualified opportunity is ready. This Actor's
own platform usage is included in the report price.

The configured upstream Douyin data Actor charges separately. Its current
pricing and platform usage are shown by Apify before the run. Use one to five
focused keywords and keep the source-result limit proportional to the research
question to control that separate cost.

Already have Douyin search data? Paste up to 1,000 compatible records into
`uploadedVideos`. The Actor then skips live collection and the separate upstream
charge, while applying the same ranking, deduplication, and report pricing.

### Input

```json
{
  "keywords": ["防晒", "敏感肌"],
  "maxResultsPerKeyword": 50,
  "publishTime": "one_week",
  "accountFollowerCount": 10000,
  "maxOpportunities": 100
}
````

### Data dependency and cost

Without `uploadedVideos`, this Actor calls the configured `sourceActorId` to
obtain live Douyin search data. That upstream Actor's pricing, plan limits, and
platform usage are charged separately. The default is
`vulnv/douyin-search-scraper`. You may replace it with a compatible Actor that
returns equivalent fields.

This product is independently developed and is not affiliated with Douyin,
ByteDance, or the upstream Actor developer.

Results are deduplicated by source video URL. A report can return fewer than 100
opportunities when the source contains fewer qualifying, evidence-rich videos.

### Responsible use

Use public content lawfully and respect applicable platform terms, privacy,
advertising, and data-protection rules. Scores are prioritization signals, not
guarantees that a video will perform.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

One to five Chinese or English topics, brand names, or hashtags. The Actor merges and deduplicates evidence across keywords.

## `uploadedVideos` (type: `array`):

Paste up to 1,000 video records exported from a compatible Douyin Actor. When supplied, this Actor skips the live upstream run and its separate charges.

## `maxResultsPerKeyword` (type: `integer`):

Number of live source videos requested for each keyword. The upstream Douyin Actor charges separately.

## `sort` (type: `string`):

How the upstream Douyin search results should be ordered.

## `publishTime` (type: `string`):

Only analyze videos published within this window.

## `accountFollowerCount` (type: `integer`):

Used to favor examples from realistically comparable creators.

## `maxOpportunities` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of ranked opportunities returned in the $4.99 report.

## `sourceActorId` (type: `string`):

Advanced: Actor used to obtain source search data. Its charges apply separately.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "keywords": [
    "防晒",
    "敏感肌"
  ],
  "uploadedVideos": [],
  "maxResultsPerKeyword": 50,
  "sort": "general",
  "publishTime": "one_week",
  "accountFollowerCount": 10000,
  "maxOpportunities": 100,
  "sourceActorId": "vulnv/douyin-search-scraper"
}
```
