What it does

Once installed, the agent can help you find and compare influencers on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok. It picks a suitable Apify scraper (a paid cloud data-collection service), asks you about output format and result count, then runs a bundled Node.js script that pulls public profile and post data into a chat summary, CSV or JSON file. It also reminds the agent to treat follower and like counts as weak evidence of authenticity, not proof.

Great for

  • Brand or agency teams building a shortlist of creators for a campaign
  • Marketers comparing public engagement metrics across platforms
  • Developers who already use Apify and want a guided influencer data pull

Skip it if

  • Verifying an influencer's real audience, demographics or fraud: the skill itself says public counts cannot prove this, and scraped ratios should not be used to accuse anyone
  • Collecting private group data or personal contact details for unsolicited outreach, which the skill says not to do
  • Running large jobs without checking cost: Apify runs are billed and --max-items only limits downloaded output, not remote work

Try asking

  • “Find 20 fitness YouTube creators with public subscriber counts for a spring campaign”
  • “Compare recent engagement on the Instagram profiles of five skincare influencers”
  • “Export a CSV of TikTok creators who post about sustainable fashion”
  • “Summarise the top five Facebook pages in the home-baking niche in chat”
