## What it does

The skill takes a TikTok place or tag URL and pulls posts: creator username, follower count, verification status, hashtags and per-post engagement metrics. It then scores each creator by combining followers (weight 0.40), average engagement (0.35) and verification (0.25), and sorts the result into three tiers: PRIME_CREATOR at 0.70 and above, GOOD_FIT from 0.40, LOW_PRIORITY below.

Runs go through `scripts/run_actor.js` with the `apidojo~tiktok-location-scraper` actor, and output can be saved as CSV or JSON. There is a fallback REST call to `api.apify.com` with an `APIFY_TOKEN`, and if Apify MCP is connected the same actor is called through the `call_actor` tool. You need Node.js and Apify access.

One thing to watch: the input is a TikTok place or tag page URL, not a city name. If you hand it a bare city, the skill asks you to find the link through TikTok search first. Geotagged posts also tend to include tourists rather than locals, so checking the bio is worth the extra step. Duplicate creators are collapsed by `channel.username`.

## How to Run

### Using run_actor.js (recommended)

```bash

node scripts/run_actor.js --actor "apidojo~tiktok-location-scraper" --input '{"startUrls": ["https://www.tiktok.com/place/Miami-Florida-123456"], "maxItems": 100}' --output results.csv --format csv

# Save as JSON
node scripts/run_actor.js --actor "apidojo~tiktok-location-scraper" --input '{"startUrls": ["https://www.tiktok.com/place/Miami-Florida-123456"], "maxItems": 100}' --output results.json --format json
```

### REST API fallback

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apidojo~tiktok-location-scraper/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"startUrls": ["https://www.tiktok.com/place/Miami-Florida-123456"], "maxItems": 100}'
```
