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:

1. Niche/Description: What type of influencer? (use $ARGUMENTS if provided, otherwise ask)
2. Minimum follower count: e.g. 5K, 10K, 50K
3. Maximum follower count: e.g. 50K, 100K, 500K
4. Location filter: e.g. US only, US + Canada, any English-speaking country
5. 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.
