1,034 creators read, 74 percent with no newsletter, and five actors that find creators like them by keyword

The drawing

The problem

Finding creators in a niche means searching each platform, opening each profile, following the bio link, and checking for a newsletter, a store, a manager, and a public email. The list grows one tab at a time. The same creator on TikTok and YouTube shows up as two people. Our own research read 1,034 creators and found 74 percent with no newsletter at all.

What we built

One codebase that generates the suite. Influencer Finder turns a keyword or niche into handles. Influencer Profile Scraper reads seven platforms: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Twitch, Threads, and podcasts. Link in Bio Scraper and Newsletter Detector returns the links, the newsletter, what the creator sells, and the manager. Influencer Change Monitor returns what changed since the last run. Influencer Lead List Builder chains the first three by Actor ID.

Every creator gets one ID across platforms, linked by bio link, website, or handle, with the method and confidence on the row. Emails come only from public pages. YouTube's business email sits behind a captcha, so the actor doesn't read it and fills that field only from an address written in the channel description.

What it produced

• 5 actors public on the Apify Store on September 22, 2026, with 123 tests passing.
• The profile reader returned an ok row on all seven platforms in its first platform run.
• The link classifier read 0 errors in a 30 row hand check.
• The website email scan covered 100 creators in 279.6 seconds and found 32 emails.
• Prices: $0.007 per creator found, $0.006 per profile, and $0.008 per creator checked for links and a newsletter.

Your scenario

Start Influencer Finder on Apify with one niche keyword, then run the newsletter detector on the handles it returns. Before you write to a creator's email, verify it: Bouncer checks a list in bulk. To pull the search results for a niche yourself, SearchApi returns them as JSON. Send us the niche and we'll tell you what the finder returns for it.
