What this skill does

Influencer Discovery

Discover and analyze influencers across multiple platforms using Apify Actors.

When to Use

You need to discover creators or influencers for outreach, partnerships, or campaign planning.
The task is to evaluate authenticity, engagement, niche fit, or audience signals across social platforms.
You need Apify-based extraction plus a shortlist or summary of suitable influencer candidates.

Prerequisites

(No need to check it upfront)

.env file with APIFY_TOKEN
Node.js 20.6+ (for native --env-file support)
mcpc CLI tool: npm install -g @apify/mcpc

Workflow

Copy this checklist and track progress:

Task Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Determine discovery source (select Actor)
- [ ] Step 2: Fetch Actor schema via mcpc
- [ ] Step 3: Ask user preferences (format, filename)
- [ ] Step 4: Run the discovery script
- [ ] Step 5: Summarize results

Step 1: Determine Discovery Source

Select the appropriate Actor based on user needs:

| User Need | Actor ID | Best For | |-----------|----------|----------| | Influencer profiles | apify/instagram-profile-scraper | Profile metrics, bio, follower counts | | Find by hashtag | apify/instagram-hashtag-scraper | Discover influencers using specific hashtags | | Reel engagement | apify/instagram-reel-scraper | Analyze reel performance and engagement | | Discovery by niche | apify/instagram-search-scraper | Search for influencers by keyword/niche | | Brand mentions | apify/instagram-tagged-scraper | Track who tags brands/products | | Comprehensive data | apify/instagram-scraper | Full profile, posts, comments analysis | | API-based discovery | apify/instagram-api-scraper | Fast API-based data extraction | | Engagement analysis | apify/export-instagram-comments-posts | Export comments for sentiment analysis | | Facebook content | apify/facebook-posts-scraper | Analyze Facebook post performance | | Micro-influencers | apify/facebook-groups-scraper | Find influencers in niche groups | | Influential pages | apify/facebook-search-scraper | Search for influential pages | | YouTube creators | streamers/youtube-channel-scraper | Channel metrics and subscriber data | | TikTok influencers | clockworks/tiktok-scraper | Comprehensive TikTok data extraction | | TikTok (free) | clockworks/free-tiktok-scraper | Free TikTok data extractor | | Live streamers | clockworks/tiktok-live-scraper | Discover live streaming influencers |

Step 2: Fetch Actor Schema

Fetch the Actor's input schema and details dynamically using mcpc:

export $(grep APIFY_TOKEN .env | xargs) && mcpc --json mcp.apify.com --header "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" tools-call fetch-actor-details actor:="ACTOR_ID" | jq -r ".content"

Replace ACTOR_ID with the selected Actor (e.g., apify/instagram-profile-scraper).

This returns:

Actor description and README
Required and optional input parameters
Output fields (if available)

Step 3: Ask User Preferences

Before running, ask:

Output format:
- Quick answer - Display top few results in chat (no file saved)
- CSV - Full export with all fields
- JSON - Full export in JSON format
Number of results: Based on character of use case

Step 4: Run the Script

Quick answer (display in chat, no file):

node --env-file=.env ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/scripts/run_actor.js \
  --actor "ACTOR_ID" \
  --input 'JSON_INPUT'

CSV:

node --env-file=.env ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/scripts/run_actor.js \
  --actor "ACTOR_ID" \
  --input 'JSON_INPUT' \
  --output YYYY-MM-DD_OUTPUT_FILE.csv \
  --format csv

JSON:

node --env-file=.env ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/scripts/run_actor.js \
  --actor "ACTOR_ID" \
  --input 'JSON_INPUT' \
  --output YYYY-MM-DD_OUTPUT_FILE.json \
  --format json

Step 5: Summarize Results

After completion, report:

Number of influencers found
File location and name
Key metrics available (followers, engagement rate, etc.)
Suggested next steps (filtering, outreach, deeper analysis)

Error Handling

APIFY_TOKEN not found - Ask user to create .env with APIFY_TOKEN=your_token mcpc not found - Ask user to install npm install -g @apify/mcpc Actor not found - Check Actor ID spelling Run FAILED - Ask user to check Apify console link in error output Timeout - Reduce input size or increase --timeout

Limitations

Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

Installation

Copy a source-pinned command for your client. You run it yourself.

Destination: .claude/skills/apify-influencer-discovery · pinned to the source commit

# Run from your project root
git clone https://github.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills.git .skillboard-tmp
git -C .skillboard-tmp checkout 5cf4dfeb13ea966daa1e117897689cd7991e3f44
mkdir -p ".claude/skills"
cp -r ".skillboard-tmp/plugins/agentic-awesome-skills-claude/skills/apify-influencer-discovery" ".claude/skills/"
rm -rf .skillboard-tmp

Review the source before running. This copies files into your project; it is not a one-click install and does not verify runtime safety.
