## What it does

This skill targets creator discovery across Instagram and TikTok. Instead of manual scrolling, it executes Apify scrapers `apidojo/instagram-scraper` and `apidojo/tiktok-scraper` against brand hashtags. You get a structured list of people who post about your product organically.

The evaluation workflow isolates repeat posters. It scores each creator based on post frequency, audience engagement, and follower metrics. It also inspects recent posts for competitor sponsorship tags like `#ad`. Obvious bot profiles and the brand's own reposts get filtered out automatically.

Without setting the `APIFY_TOKEN` environment variable, the scraping actors fail to execute. The final output groups candidates into readiness tiers and notes specific posts for initial outreach.

# Finding Brand Ambassador Candidates

Identifies creators who already post about a brand or product organically — these are the highest-converting ambassador recruits because their content is authentic and their audience trusts them.

## Prerequisites

- `APIFY_TOKEN` environment variable set
- Optional: Apify MCP server installed

## Inputs

| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Notes |
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------|
| `startUrls` | array | ✅ | `[]` | Instagram URLs — profiles, hashtags, locations, audio pages, reels |
| `until` | string | Optional | — | Scrape posts until this date (YYYY-MM-DD) |
| `maxItems` | number | Optional | Unlimited | Maximum posts to return |
| `customMapFunction` | string | Optional | — | JavaScript function to transform each output object |

## Workflow

```
Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Search brand hashtags on both platforms
- [ ] Step 2: Identify repeat posters
- [ ] Step 3: Score ambassador fit
- [ ] Step 4: Check for competing partnerships
- [ ] Step 5: Deliver ranked ambassador pipeline
```

### Step 1: Search Brand Mentions

**Instagram:**
```
Tool: apify:run-actor
Actor: "apidojo~instagram-scraper"
Input: {"keywords": ["#[brand]", "#[brand]review", "#[brand]community", "#[brandproduct]"], "maxItems": 200}
```

**TikTok:**
```
Tool: apify:run-actor
Actor: "apidojo~tiktok-scraper"
Input: {"keywords": ["#[brand]", "#[brand]review", "#[brand]tiktokmademebuyit"], "maxItems": 300}
```


**Recommended — run_actor.js (handles waiting, output, and file saving automatically):**
```bash
# Quick answer (prints table to chat)
node scripts/run_actor.js \
````
