Step 1: Search Queries

快速输出（在聊天窗口打印表格）

node scripts/run_actor.js
--actor "apidojo~twitter-user-scraper"
--input '{"param": "value"}'

Save as CSV

保存为CSV格式

node scripts/run_actor.js
--actor "apidojo~twitter-user-scraper"
--input '{"param": "value"}'
--output YYYY-MM-DD_results.csv --format csv

Save as JSON

保存为JSON格式

node scripts/run_actor.js
--actor "apidojo~twitter-user-scraper"
--input '{"param": "value"}'
--output YYYY-MM-DD_results.json --format json

> `APIFY_TOKEN` must be set in environment or `.env` file.

**If Apify MCP is available:**

Tool: apify:run-actor Actor: "apidojo~tweet-scraper" Input: { "searchTerms": ["UX designer", "product designer", "portfolio", "[DISCIPLINE] open to work"], "maxItems": 300, "tweetLanguage": "en" }


**REST API fallback:**
```bash
curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apidojo~tweet-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchTerms": ["UX designer", "product designer", "portfolio", "[DISCIPLINE] open to work"], "maxItems": 300}'

Collect unique

author.username

from results.

node scripts/run_actor.js
--actor "apidojo~twitter-user-scraper"
--input '{"param": "value"}'
--output YYYY-MM-DD_results.json --format json

> `APIFY_TOKEN`必须在环境变量或`.env`文件中设置。

**如果Apify MCP可用：**

Tool: apify:run-actor Actor: "apidojo~tweet-scraper" Input: { "searchTerms": ["UX designer", "product designer", "portfolio", "[DISCIPLINE] open to work"], "maxItems": 300, "tweetLanguage": "en" }


**REST API备选方案：**
```bash
curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apidojo~tweet-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchTerms": ["UX designer", "product designer", "portfolio", "[DISCIPLINE] open to work"], "maxItems": 300}'

从结果中收集唯一的

author.username

。

Step 2: Enrich Profiles

步骤2：丰富个人资料

If Apify MCP is available:

Tool: apify:run-actor
Actor: "apidojo~twitter-user-scraper"
Input: {"usernames": ["[username1]", "[username2]", "..."]}

REST API fallback:

bash

curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apidojo~twitter-user-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"usernames": ["handle1", "handle2"]}'

如果Apify MCP可用：

Tool: apify:run-actor
Actor: "apidojo~twitter-user-scraper"
Input: {"usernames": ["[username1]", "[username2]", "..."]}

REST API备选方案：

bash

curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apidojo~twitter-user-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"usernames": ["handle1", "handle2"]}'

Step 3: Filter and Score

步骤3：筛选与评分

Skill confirmation: bio contains keywords: "UX", "UI", "product design", "graphic design", "motion", "brand design", "Figma", "Sketch", "Adobe"

portfolio_link_signal = bio contains figma.com, behance.net, dribbble.com, or personal domain → strong talent signal

Candidate score:

candidate_score = (skill_confirmed ? 1 : 0) * 0.35
                + (open_to_work_signal ? 1 : 0) * 0.30
                + (followerCount in 200..20000 ? 1 : 0.6) * 0.20
                + (tweeted_in_last_30_days ? 1 : 0) * 0.15

Activity: active (< 30 days) | passive (30–90 days) | dormant (> 90 days)

技能确认：个人简介包含以下关键词："UX"、"UI"、"product design"、"graphic design"、"motion"、"brand design"、"Figma"、"Sketch"、"Adobe"

作品集链接线索 = 个人简介包含figma.com、behance.net、dribbble.com或个人域名 → 强烈的人才信号

候选人评分公式：

candidate_score = (skill_confirmed ? 1 : 0) * 0.35
                + (open_to_work_signal ? 1 : 0) * 0.30
                + (followerCount in 200..20000 ? 1 : 0.6) * 0.20
                + (tweeted_in_last_30_days ? 1 : 0) * 0.15

活跃度：活跃（<30天）| 被动（30–90天）| 沉寂（>90天）

Step 4: Edge Cases

步骤4：边缘情况

Company/brand accounts in results: Filter where
```
followerCount > 50K
```
AND bio contains no personal pronouns; these are likely brand accounts
< 20 candidates found: Broaden skill term; remove location or seniority filter; try adjacent skills

Bot detection: Flag

followerCount / followingCount < 0.05

AND

tweetsCount < 20

as potential bot

Location not matching: Bio location is free text — use fuzzy match; accept partial city/country names

结果中出现企业/品牌账号：筛选掉
```
粉丝数>50K
```
且个人简介中无第一人称代词的账号；这些很可能是品牌账号
找到的候选人不足20位：放宽技能关键词范围；移除地点或资历筛选条件；尝试相关技能关键词
机器人检测：标记
```
粉丝数/关注数 < 0.05
```
且
```
推文数 < 20
```
的账号为潜在机器人
地点不匹配：个人简介中的地点为自由文本——使用模糊匹配；接受部分城市/国家名称

Troubleshooting

故障排除

All results are agencies/companies not individuals: Add personal pronouns filter or search

"I am a [role]"

"I do [skill]"

. Role too generic returns too many results: Add location OR seniority qualifier. No open-to-work signals: Most candidates don't signal publicly — treat passive candidates as warm leads with personalized outreach referencing their recent content.

所有结果均为机构/企业而非个人：添加第一人称代词筛选条件，或搜索

"I am a [role]"

、

"I do [skill]"

。 角色关键词过于宽泛导致结果过多：添加地点或资历限定条件。 无求职意向信号：大多数候选人不会公开表明求职意向——将被动候选人视为潜在优质线索，结合他们近期发布的内容进行个性化沟通。
