TikTok Influencer Finder
Search for TikTok influencers matching a specific niche using Apify's Influencer Discovery Agent.

Requires requests and either GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY or APIFY_API_TOKEN env var.
python3 skills/tiktok-influencer-finder/scripts/find_influencers.py \
--description "fitness coaches for women over 40"
python3 skills/tiktok-influencer-finder/scripts/find_influencers.py \

--description "vegan cooking creators" --output summary
python3 skills/tiktok-influencer-finder/scripts/find_influencers.py \
--description "sustainable fashion" --output csv
Step 1: Gather Criteria
Before running the search, ask the user for their filtering criteria. Collect ALL of the following:
- Niche/Description: What type of influencer? (use $ARGUMENTS if provided, otherwise ask)
- Minimum follower count: e.g. 5K, 10K, 50K
- Maximum follower count: e.g. 50K, 100K, 500K
- Location filter: e.g. US only, US + Canada, any English-speaking country
- Sub-niche preferences: Any specific content focus within the broader niche
Ask all 5 criteria in a single question to minimize back-and-forth. Provide sensible default options but always allow custom input.
Step 2: Run the Search
Compose a detailed --description combining the user's niche, content style preferences, and target audience. Be specific and descriptive.
python3 skills/tiktok-influencer-finder/scripts/find_influencers.py \
--description "fitness coaches targeting women over 40, focus on home workouts and healthy aging" \
--min-followers 5000 --max-followers 500000 \
--min-fit 0.6 \
--output json
The script uses apify~influencer-discovery-agent actor. It routes through the GooseWorks proxy when GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY is set, or directly to Apify when APIFY_API_TOKEN is set.
Step 3: Filter Results
After receiving results, apply the user's criteria:
- Remove profiles below minimum follower count
- Remove profiles above maximum follower count
- Remove profiles outside the specified location(s)
- Remove profiles that don't match the sub-niche (use the
fit score and fitDescription to judge relevance; generally exclude fit < 0.6)
- Sort remaining results by fit score (descending), then by follower count (descending)
Step 4: Present Results
Present filtered results in a clean markdown table:
| Creator | Handle | Followers | Engagement | Location | Focus | Fit Score |
Include:
- Clickable TikTok profile links
- Follower count formatted readably (e.g. 46.3K)
- Engagement rate as percentage
- Brief description of their content focus
- The AI-generated fit score
After the table, include:
- Total profiles analyzed vs profiles matching criteria
- A note if very few results matched (suggest adjusting criteria)
- Offer to run another search with different keywords or adjusted criteria

Notes
- This skill searches TikTok specifically. If the user wants other platforms, let them know this is TikTok-only and suggest alternatives.
- Engagement rates above 100% can occur when viral posts drive disproportionate interaction relative to follower count.
- The influencer discovery agent may take 1-3 minutes to complete depending on search breadth.
