Input

SettingTypeRequiredDefaultWhat it does
mode string Yes lookup lookup returns found profiles (plus blocked/unknown checks), availability returns one row per platform with available/taken/unknown, and name_search generates handle candidates from a full name.
usernames array No – Handles to check. Accepts plain handles, @handles and profile URLs. Required for lookup and availability. Maximum 50 per run (10 when extended coverage is active).
names array No – Full names for name_search. The actor builds up to 10 handle candidates per name, checks them, and scores the matches. Maximum 50 per run.
coverage string No verified verified uses the 29 platforms that passed a known-handle plus random-handle gate. extended adds 400+ best-effort platforms at low confidence.
platforms array No – Limit the run to specific platforms. Leave empty to use all verified platforms, or all verified + extended platforms when coverage=extended. Extended-only platform names are rejected when coverage=verified.
maxConcurrency integer No 12 Concurrent checks. The default of 12 is the validated safe value for the verified set; per-host requests are limited further.
maxResults integer No 500 Maximum profile/check rows to emit. The summary row is always emitted and is not counted.
proxyConfiguration object No – The actor works without a proxy. Supply one only if you want requests routed through your own Apify proxy configuration.

Run it from code or an AI agent

The same run through the Apify API, with the example input. You need an Apify API token; the run is billed to your account at the Store price.

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run_input = {
    "mode": "lookup",
    "usernames": [
        "torvalds"
    ],
    "coverage": "verified",
    "platforms": [
        "GitHub",
        "YouTube",
        "TikTok",
        "Pinterest",

        "Bluesky",
        "Steam"
    ],
    "maxConcurrency": 12,
    "maxResults": 10
}

run = client.actor("nimbryxo-studio/username-lookup-across-400-plus-social-platforms").call(run_input=run_input)
if run is None:
    raise RuntimeError("The Actor run was not found.")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

pip install apify-client

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: "<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" });
const input = {
    "mode": "lookup",
    "usernames": [
        "torvalds"
    ],
    "coverage": "verified",
    "platforms": [
        "GitHub",
        "YouTube",
        "TikTok",
        "Pinterest",
        "X/Twitter",
        "Bluesky",
        "Steam"
    ],
    "maxConcurrency": 12,
    "maxResults": 10
};

const run = await client.actor("nimbryxo-studio/username-lookup-across-400-plus-social-platforms").call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

npm install apify-client

cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/nimbryxo-studio~username-lookup-across-400-plus-social-platforms/run-sync-get-dataset-items"   -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN"   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{"mode":"lookup","usernames":["torvalds"],"coverage":"verified","platforms":["GitHub","YouTube","TikTok","Pinterest","X/Twitter","Bluesky","Steam"],"maxConcurrency":12,"maxResults":10}'

Waits for the run and returns the dataset items (runs over 300 seconds return HTTP 408; start an async run instead).

MCP (AI agents)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=nimbryxo-studio/username-lookup-across-400-plus-social-platforms",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Adds this Actor as a tool in an MCP client that takes a remote server URL (Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code) through Apify's hosted MCP server. OAuth sign-in also works without the header. Clients that only start local servers can wrap the URL with npx mcp-remote.

What a run costs

The result rate falls on higher Apify plans. Each figure is the published per-result rate times the number of results.

Apify planPer 1,00010,000 results100,000 results
Free plan$0.99$9.90$99
Starter plan$0.82$8.20$82
Scale plan$0.66$6.60$66
Business plan$0.49$4.90$49
  • Every run also has a start event, charged per GB of memory (minimum one): $0.10 on Free, $0.03 on Business. At its default memory of 4 GB a run starts at $0.40 on Free. Fewer, larger runs keep this small.
  • The Free plan includes $5 of monthly usage (Apify pricing, checked 2026-11-11); at the Free rate that covers at most about 5,050 results, less start events and platform usage.
  • Worked example: 10,000 results in one run on the Free plan cost $10.30 ($9.90 for results + $0.40 start), plus Apify platform usage (compute), billed separately by Apify.
  • Pay per event. Platform usage (compute) is billed by Apify on top of the event prices. Compare other tools in the cost estimator.
