## What it does

The skill harnesses apidojo's Twitter scraper to surface posts where event organizers call for speakers. It searches queries such as 'call for speakers', 'looking for speakers', 'CFP' and variants tailored to your industry. Output includes event name, organizer handle, topic focus, deadline signals, audience size, and submission URL.

You need `APIFY_TOKEN` set as an environment variable or in a `.env` file. Three execution paths are available: `run_actor.js` for quick results inline or export to CSV/JSON, apify MCP if installed, or direct REST API calls. Fewer than 20 results trigger a prompt to broaden search criteria.

Core inputs are search terms, max tweet count, language, and filters for verified users or video-only posts. Output ranks results by relevance—weighing event audience size, days until deadline, and topic match. Expired submission dates are flagged EXPIRED.
