Find Influencers
Search for TikTok influencers matching a specific niche using Apify's Influencer Discovery Agent.
Step 1: Gather Criteria
Before running the search, ask the user for their filtering criteria using AskUserQuestion. 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 AskUserQuestion call to minimize back-and-forth. Provide sensible default options but always allow custom input.
Step 2: Run the Apify Influencer Discovery Agent
Use the mcp__apify__apify-slash-influencer-discovery-agent tool with:
- influencerDescription: Compose a detailed description combining the user's niche, content style preferences, and target audience. Be specific and descriptive.
- generatedKeywords: 5 (maximum for best coverage)
- profilesPerKeyword: 10 (maximum for best coverage)
If the MCP connection fails, instruct the user to run /mcp to reconnect, then retry.
Step 3: Filter Results
After receiving results, apply ALL the user's criteria strictly:
- 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 with these columns:
| 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 requires the Apify MCP server to be connected. If not connected, tell the user to run
/mcp first.
- The tool 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.
