Finding Instagram Creators by Location
Identifies Instagram creators who actively post from a specific location — city, venue, or region. Creators with repeated location posts have genuine local presence and authentic ties to the place.
Prerequisites
APIFY_TOKENenvironment variable set- Optional: Apify MCP server installed
Inputs
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
startUrls | array | Optional | [] | Instagram location page URLs |
locationIds | array | Optional | [] | Instagram location IDs |
maxItems | number | Optional | Unlimited | Maximum posts to return |
until | string | Optional | — | Date filter (YYYY-MM-DD) |
customMapFunction | string | Optional | — | JavaScript function to transform each output object |
Workflow
Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Resolve location ID
- [ ] Step 2: Run instagram-location-scraper
- [ ] Step 3: Identify repeat creators
- [ ] Step 4: Score creator quality
- [ ] Step 5: Deliver local creator list
Step 1: Resolve Location ID
Instagram uses numeric location IDs. To find the ID:
- Search for the location on Instagram (mobile or desktop)
- Open the location page — URL format:
instagram.com/explore/locations/[LOCATION_ID]/[name]/ - Extract the numeric ID
If the user only provides a name, run a Google search:
site:instagram.com/explore/locations "[LOCATION_NAME]"
Step 2: Run the Actor
Recommended — run_actor.js (handles waiting, output, and file saving automatically):
# Quick answer (prints table to chat)
node scripts/run_actor.js \
--actor "apidojo~instagram-location-scraper" \
--input '{"param": "value"}'
# Save as CSV
node scripts/run_actor.js \
--actor "apidojo~instagram-location-scraper" \
--input '{"param": "value"}' \
--output YYYY-MM-DD_results.csv --format csv
# Save as JSON
node scripts/run_actor.js \
--actor "apidojo~instagram-location-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~instagram-location-scraper"
Input:
{
"locationIds": ["[LOCATION_ID]"],
"maxItems": 100
}
REST API fallback:
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apidojo~instagram-location-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"locationIds": ["[LOCATION_ID]"], "maxItems": 100}'
Step 3: Score Creator Quality
From location posts, group by ownerUsername. For each creator:
local_score = min(post_count_at_location / 5, 1) * 0.30 # repeat presence
+ (avg_likes / 100) * 0.25 # engagement quality
+ (avg_comments / 10) * 0.20 # comment depth
+ (has_website ? 1 : 0) * 0.15 # professional creator signal
+ (follower_count > 1000 ? 1 : 0) * 0.10
Clamp to [0, 1]. Tier: A ≥ 0.70 | B 0.40–0.69 | C < 0.40
Step 4: Edge Cases
- Location ID not found for small venue: Try the city or neighborhood instead; scrape and filter by caption mentioning venue name
- Tourist accounts dominate results (one-time visitors): Filter by
post_count_at_location = 1being lower priority than repeat posters - Business accounts posting from location: If
is_business_account = true, flag separately — these are brand accounts, not creator UGC - < 30 posts at location: Small or new venue — lower
min_followersthreshold to 500; include more results

Troubleshooting
Very few results for city: City-level location IDs return general "in [city]" tags. Look for neighborhood or landmark IDs for denser results.
Results are mostly tourist accounts: Focus on the post_count_at_location >= 3 tier — locals post from the same location repeatedly.
Wrong city matches location name: Some city names are duplicated globally. Verify the location page on Instagram before running.

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.
