## What it does

The skill searches TikTok for sponsored content signals such as `#ad`, brand mentions, and promo codes. It pulls creator metadata and view metrics from post data, linking creators to brands while separating product gifting from paid promotions. It also calculates view-to-follower ratios and collaboration frequency per creator.

Data extraction relies on Apify actors `apidojo/tiktok-scraper` and `apidojo/tiktok-profile-scraper`. Runs can be triggered via `node scripts/run_actor.js`, an Apify MCP server, or direct REST calls. Without a valid `APIFY_TOKEN` in your environment, the scrapers will not run.
