保存为CSV文件

node scripts/run_actor.js

--input '{"param": "value"}'
--output YYYY-MM-DD_results.csv --format csv

Save as JSON

保存为JSON文件

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": ["[TOPIC] podcast", "new episode [TOPIC]", "podcast host [TOPIC]"], "maxItems": 300 }


**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": ["entrepreneurship podcast", "new episode startup"], "maxItems": 300}'

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`文件中配置。

**若Apify MCP可用：**

工具: apify:run-actor Actor: "apidojo~tweet-scraper" 输入: { "searchTerms": ["[TOPIC] podcast", "new episode [TOPIC]", "podcast host [TOPIC]"], "maxItems": 300 }


**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": ["entrepreneurship podcast", "new episode startup"], "maxItems": 300}'

Step 2: Enrich and Filter

步骤2：丰富与筛选

Run

apidojo~twitter-user-scraper

on handles. Keep profiles where bio contains "podcast", "host", "show", "episodes".

Guest format: bio or tweets mention "guest", "interview", "this week's guest" →

has_guest_format = true

对收集到的账号运行

apidojo~twitter-user-scraper

。保留个人简介中包含“podcast”、“host”、“show”、“episodes”的资料。

嘉宾访谈标识： 个人简介或推文提及“guest”、“interview”、“this week's guest” →

has_guest_format = true

Step 3: Score Outreach Priority

步骤3：拓展优先级评分

outreach_score = (has_guest_format ? 1 : 0.3) * 0.35
               + (tweeted_episode_in_last_30_days ? 1 : 0) * 0.25
               + (followerCount in 1000..100000 ? 1 : 0.6) * 0.25
               + (topic_alignment: strong=1, weak=0.5) * 0.15

outreach_score = (has_guest_format ? 1 : 0.3) * 0.35
               + (tweeted_episode_in_last_30_days ? 1 : 0) * 0.25
               + (followerCount in 1000..100000 ? 1 : 0.6) * 0.25
               + (topic_alignment: strong=1, weak=0.5) * 0.15

Step 4: Edge Cases

步骤4：边缘情况处理

Account shares content but is not host: Verify bio says "host" — some accounts share show content without hosting
Show name not findable: Note as
```
show_name_unknown
```
; LinkedIn search needed
Large media company podcast: Flag as
```
PREMIUM_PLACEMENT
```
— A-list guests only

仅分享内容而非主持人的账号：验证个人简介是否包含“host”——部分账号仅分享节目内容但并非主持人
无法找到节目名称：标记为
```
show_name_unknown
```
；需通过LinkedIn搜索补充信息
大型媒体公司播客：标记为
```
PREMIUM_PLACEMENT
```
——仅适合顶级嘉宾

Personalization Tip

个性化建议

Reference the host's most recent episode topic in your pitch — hosts receive dozens of pitches, relevance is the strongest differentiator.

undefined

在你的合作提案中提及主持人最新一期的剧集主题——主持人会收到大量提案，相关性是最核心的差异化因素。

Troubleshooting

故障排查

Results include listeners not hosts: Require "podcast host" OR "host of [show]" in bio. No show found on Twitter: Supplement with Spotify/Apple Podcasts search. Host inactive > 60 days: Flag as potentially on hiatus; verify before pitching.

结果包含听众而非主持人：要求个人简介中包含“podcast host”或“host of [show]”。 Twitter上未找到节目：通过Spotify/Apple Podcasts搜索补充信息。 主持人超过60天未活跃：标记为可能处于停更状态；提案前需核实。
