## 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.

- **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`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## TikTok Similar Accounts Finder

Find TikTok accounts similar to any profile — discover lookalike creators, competitors, and niche peers with no login required.

### What you get

- Username, display name, verification status, and profile URL for every similar account
- Follower, following, heart, and video counts for quick sizing
- Bio and bio link so you can vet accounts before reaching out
- Paginated output: fetch large similarity lists across multiple runs

### Use cases

- Influencer discovery — find creators similar to a proven partner or competitor
- Competitive analysis — map out who else is competing for the same audience
- Content ideation — study a cluster of similar creators for trends and formats
- Lead generation — build outreach lists of accounts in a specific niche

### How to use

1. Enter the TikTok username you want similar accounts for (with or without @)
2. Set **Max Similar Accounts** (default 50; set 0 for unlimited)
3. Run the actor — results appear in the **Dataset** tab
4. To fetch more, copy `NEXT_PAGE_ID` from the Key-value store and paste it into **Page ID** on your next run

After the run finishes, open the **Key-value store** tab → copy the `NEXT_PAGE_ID` value → paste it into **Page ID** on your next run. If `NEXT_PAGE_ID` is `null`, you've fetched everything available.

### Output format

Each dataset record:

```json
{
  "sourceUsername": "zachking",
  "userId": "123456789",
  "username": "example",
  "nickname": "Example Creator",
  "isVerified": false,

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "username": "zachking"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("seemuapps/tiktok-similar-accounts-finder").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);
});

run_input = { "username": "zachking" }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("seemuapps/tiktok-similar-accounts-finder").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "username": "zachking"
}' |
apify call seemuapps/tiktok-similar-accounts-finder --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,seemuapps/tiktok-similar-accounts-finder"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
