Overview
This skill selects and runs the right Apify Actor to discover and evaluate influencers on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok, then summarizes the candidates found. It maps 15 named Actors to specific discovery methods, such as hashtag, niche keyword, or brand-tag tracking, and fetches each one's input schema dynamically via the mcpc CLI. It supports quick chat answers, CSV, or JSON output. Use it when you need to discover or evaluate influencers for outreach or campaign planning. Skip it for platforms or discovery methods it doesn't map to an Actor.
What it does
This skill discovers and evaluates influencers for brand partnerships by selecting and running the right Apify Actor across Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok, then summarizing candidates. It maps 15 named Actors to specific discovery needs: apify/instagram-profile-scraper for profile metrics and follower counts, apify/instagram-hashtag-scraper for discovery by hashtag, apify/instagram-search-scraper for discovery by keyword or niche, apify/instagram-tagged-scraper for tracking who tags a brand, apify/facebook-groups-scraper for micro-influencers in niche groups, streamers/youtube-channel-scraper for YouTube creator channel metrics, and clockworks/tiktok-scraper, clockworks/free-tiktok-scraper, or clockworks/tiktok-live-scraper for TikTok influencers and live streamers.
When to use - and when NOT to
Use it when you need to discover creators or influencers for outreach, partnerships, or campaign planning, when the task is to evaluate authenticity, engagement, niche fit, or audience signals across platforms, or when you need Apify-based extraction plus a shortlist or summary of suitable candidates rather than raw scraped profiles.
Inputs and outputs
Requires an .env file with APIFY_TOKEN, Node.js 20.6+ for native --env-file support, and the mcpc CLI (npm install -g @apify/mcpc). The workflow tracks five steps: determine the discovery source from the Actor mapping table; fetch its input schema dynamically via mcpc ... tools-call fetch-actor-details actor:="ACTOR_ID"; ask the user for output format, a quick chat answer with no file, a full CSV export, or a full JSON export, and how many results to pull; run it with:
node --env-file=.env ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/scripts/run_actor.js \
--actor "ACTOR_ID" \
--input 'JSON_INPUT'
adding --output and --format csv or --format json for file exports; then report the number of influencers found, the output file location, key metrics available such as followers and engagement rate, and suggested next steps like filtering or outreach. Named error cases include a missing APIFY_TOKEN (ask the user to create .env), a missing mcpc install, a misspelled Actor ID, a failed run (check the Apify console link in the error output), and timeouts (reduce input size or raise --timeout).
Integrations
Built entirely on Apify Actors accessed through the mcpc CLI and Apify's MCP endpoint (mcp.apify.com), covering platform-specific discovery scrapers across Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok rather than a single unified influencer database.
Who it's for
Brand marketers and influencer-marketing teams who need a structured shortlist of candidate creators across multiple platforms without hand-picking and configuring each Apify Actor and its input schema themselves, following the same five-step checklist (identify source, fetch schema, confirm preferences, run, summarize) every time regardless of which platform or discovery method the campaign needs.
