Social Media Finder (Official Brand Profile Links)

What is Social Media Finder?

Social Media Finder takes company or brand website domains and returns the official social profile links the site itself declares: Instagram, X, Facebook, LinkedIn company page, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest and Threads. It reads the homepage directly, from the schema.org sameAs data and from the footer, header and social icon links. No search engine and no proxy are used, so the cost per domain is tiny.

What data does Social Media Finder extract?

Field	Type	Description
domain	string	The normalised input domain, for example shopify.com
finalUrl	string or null	The page that was read after redirects
status	integer or null	HTTP status of the homepage
instagram, x, facebook, linkedin, youtube, tiktok, pinterest, threads	string or null	Profile URL for each platform, or null when none was found
profileCount	integer	How many platforms have a profile
source	string	sameAs, footer, sameAs+footer or none
note	string or null	no-profile-links-found or site-unreachable: <reason>
scrapedAt	string	ISO timestamp of the run

Only profile-shaped links are kept: share buttons, post links (for example instagram.com/p/...), YouTube watch links, X intent links and similar are rejected.

How to use Social Media Finder

1. Type one domain per line in Website domains, for example shopify.com. Full URLs are accepted and reduced to the domain.
2. Keep Return domains without social links on to get a row for every domain, or turn it off to get only domains with at least one profile.
3. Start the run and download the dataset.

Example input

{
    "domains": ["shopify.com", "hubspot.com", "figma.com", "nike.com"],
    "includeWithoutProfiles": true
}

Example output

Real rows from a cloud run on 23 October 2026 (12 domains, all rows below are from that run):

    "domain": "shopify.com",
    "finalUrl": "https://www.shopify.com/",
    "status": 200,
    "instagram": "https://www.instagram.com/shopify",
    "x": "https://x.com/Shopify",
    "facebook": "https://www.facebook.com/shopify",

    "threads": null,
    "profileCount": 7,
    "source": "sameAs+footer",
    "note": null
}

Other rows from the same run: nike.com 5 profiles (sameAs), figma.com 6 (sameAs), mozilla.org 4 (footer), patagonia.com 0 (no-profile-links-found), doesnotexist-zzqx-12345.com unreachable (site-unreachable: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND).

BRONZE	$0.0025

Cost measured on the platform: a 12-domain run used about $0.00019 of platform usage (run u9iF6SekK6GfTrSqy, 23 October 2026). No proxy is used, so the margin is high at every plan.

Social Media Finder vs. search-based finders

This Actor does not search Google for social accounts. Site-search queries (site:instagram.com "Brand") returned unrelated profiles for several brands in tests on 23 October 2026, so that approach was left out. The trade-off: the Actor only finds profiles the company website links to, which is usually the official account, but it misses companies whose site has no social links or whose links are added by JavaScript.

Using Social Media Finder with AI agents and MCP

The Actor is pay-per-event with limited permissions, so it can be called through the Apify MCP server. An agent sends domains and gets back one structured row per domain with the profile URL for each platform.

FAQ

Are these the official accounts? They are the accounts the company website links to, through schema.org sameAs or its own footer, header or icon links. The Actor cannot verify ownership beyond that link.

Why is a domain returned with no profiles? The homepage may have no social links, may load them with JavaScript, or may block requests from data-centre IPs. The note field says which case was seen. Only the homepage is read, not inner pages.

Does it follow redirects? Yes, up to four redirects, and it tries https://domain and then https://www.domain.

Is any personal or account data collected? No. The Actor reads public homepage HTML only, and does not log in to any platform.
