Workflow
Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Define niche and targeting criteria
- [ ] Step 2: Build hashtag list for the niche
- [ ] Step 3: Run tiktok-scraper to find creators
- [ ] Step 4: Optionally enrich with tiktok-profile-scraper
- [ ] Step 5: Rank and format output
Step 1: Clarify Parameters
Ask the user for:
- Niche/topic (e.g., "fitness", "sustainable fashion", "personal finance")
- Max followers (for micro-influencers, e.g., 100000)
- Min followers (optional, e.g., 10000)
- Number of creators (default: 50)
- Language/region (optional)
Step 2: Build Hashtag List
Generate 5-8 relevant hashtags for the niche. Examples:
- Fitness →
#fitness,#workout,#gymtok,#fitnessmotivation,#homeworkout - Finance →
#personalfinance,#investing,#moneytips,#financetok,#budgeting - Beauty →
#beautytok,#skincareroutine,#makeuptutorial,#glowup,#skincare
Step 3: Run tiktok-scraper
Recommended — run_actor.js (handles waiting, output, and file saving automatically):
# Quick answer (prints table to chat)
node scripts/run_actor.js \
--actor "apidojo~tiktok-scraper" \
--input '{"param": "value"}'
# Save as CSV
node scripts/run_actor.js \
--actor "apidojo~tiktok-scraper" \
--input '{"param": "value"}' \
--output YYYY-MM-DD_results.csv --format csv
# Save as JSON
node scripts/run_actor.js \
--actor "apidojo~tiktok-scraper" \
--input '{"param": "value"}' \
--output YYYY-MM-DD_results.json --format json
APIFY_TOKENmust be set in environment or.envfile.
If Apify MCP is available:
Tool: apify:run-actor
Actor: "apidojo~tiktok-scraper"
Input:
{
"keywords": ["[hashtag1]", "[hashtag2]", "[hashtag3]"],
"shouldDownloadCovers": false
}
If Apify MCP is not available:
curl -X POST \
"https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apidojo~tiktok-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"keywords": ["[hashtag1]", "[hashtag2]"],
"shouldDownloadCovers": false
}'
Save RUN_ID. Wait for status: SUCCEEDED.
Step 4: Fetch and Deduplicate Creators
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/$RUN_ID/dataset/items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN"
From the results, extract unique authorMeta.id values. Deduplicate — same creator often appears across hashtags. Sort by authorMeta.fans (follower count).
Optional enrichment: If the user wants deeper profile data, run apidojo/tiktok-profile-scraper with the top creator usernames to get engagement rate and video performance.
Step 5: Apply Filters and Rank
Apply user's follower range filters. Compute a simple engagement score:
engagement_score = (avg_likes + avg_comments) / follower_count * 100
Rank by engagement score within the follower range.
Output Format
# TikTok Creator Discovery: [NICHE] Niche
Found: [N] creators | Follower range: [MIN]–[MAX] | Date: [DATE]
| # | Username | Followers | Avg Views | Eng. Rate | Niche Tags | Profile |
|---|----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|------------|---------|
| 1 | @[name] | [N] | [N] | [X.X%] | [tags] | [url] |
| 2 | @[name] | [N] | [N] | [X.X%] | [tags] | [url] |
## Top Picks for Outreach
1. **@[name]** — [N] followers, [X.X%] engagement, posts primarily about [topic]
2. **@[name]** — [N] followers, [X.X%] engagement, posts primarily about [topic]
3. **@[name]** — [N] followers, [X.X%] engagement, posts primarily about [topic]
## Notes
- Engagement rate > 5% is considered high for this follower range
- [N] creators filtered out (outside follower range)
- Data freshness: ~24h from TikTok public API
Troubleshooting
Too few results: Add more hashtags or remove follower filters.
All results are large accounts: Niche hashtags tend to surface mega-influencers — try sub-niche hashtags (e.g., #homegymtok instead of #fitness).
Stale follower counts: TikTok data cached by Apify is typically 24-48h old.

reddit-automation
flowkit-labs/skills
Find Reddit threads where people are genuinely asking for what you offer, then draft short, genuinely helpful replies — disclosing your affiliation honestly and naming your product only when it truly answers the question. Two moves: discovery — scan the right subreddits for real needs (recommendation asks, expressed pain, competitor mentions) and rank the few threads where you can actually help; drafting — write from real experience, respect each community's self-promo rules, and keep a human in the loop to review and post. This markets on Reddit the honest way: contribute value, disclose who you are, never astroturf. Distilled from the playbook behind doany.ai's Reddit agent. Triggers on "find reddit opportunities", "reddit marketing", "reddit automation", "reply on reddit for my product", "reddit community engagement", "reddit lead gen", or any ask to turn Reddit threads into genuine, disclosed marketing replies.
