# The Creator Finder

Tell it your topic and it builds a list of real YouTube creators to partner with, with subscriber counts, links and a way to reach them.

## What you get

**You want creators to partner with. Finding them means hours of scrolling YouTube.**

The Creator Finder does the scrolling.

You tell it your topic. Like "AI education for beginners".

It searches YouTube. It looks up each channel.

Then it hands you a table of creators who fit:

- Subscriber counts
- Links
- A suggested way to approach each one

Use it to find people to partner with, sponsor or be featured by.

**Needs a paid ScrapeCreators account. About 1 credit per lookup. About 10 minutes.**

## One thing to know

**It costs money.** It needs a paid ScrapeCreators account, at about 1 credit per lookup. Watch your balance.

Use YouTube only. TikTok search returns off-topic accounts.

Emails are rare. Most contact paths are links and DMs.

The fit scores are Claude's opinion, not facts.

## Who this is for

You look for creators to partner with, sponsor or be featured by.

## What you need

- Claude Code
- git (a tool that downloads code)
- A ScrapeCreators account with credits (scrapecreators.com)
- Your key saved as `SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY`. Never paste it into chat.

It also works in Cursor and Codex.

## Set it up

### Step 1: Get the skills

Downloads the skill files (plain files Claude follows).

```
git clone https://github.com/ScrapeCreators/social-media-research-skills.git
```

### Step 2: Open Claude Code in that folder

```
cd social-media-research-skills && claude
```

### Step 3: Create a paid account at ScrapeCreators

Add credits. Then copy your key into the environment variable `SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY` in your shell settings.

## Use it

Ask for the influencer-prospecting skill with your topic. Say YouTube only.

```
Use influencer-prospecting. Find 10 YouTube creators for "learn AI for beginners". YouTube only.
```

You get a table like this:

```
Creator            Subscribers   Contact path
Example Channel A  174k          community link
Example Channel B  414k          website + free resources
Example Channel C   79k          business email
...10 creators
```

## If something goes wrong

**Unauthorized or key not found.** Restart your terminal so `SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY` is loaded.

**Odd, off-topic results.** You searched TikTok. Ask for YouTube only.

**Out of credits.** Top up. Keep runs to about 10 channels.
