Quick Start
Connect CreatiVault creator search, collection, lookalike discovery, and outreach workflows to Lobster or your AI agent.
Start from your goal
You do not need to fill in API parameters. Describe the goal to Lobster, and it will choose the right search, collection, export, lookalike, or outreach workflow.
| Scenario | What you want to achieve | Suggested prompt |
|---|---|---|
| Find creators quickly | Build a candidate list by country, niche, followers, engagement, email availability, and more | Find US TikTok beauty creators with 10K to 100K followers, must have email, use S2 |
| Enrich creator profiles | Collect profile, contact, and performance data from a batch of profile links or usernames | Collect data for these TikTok creators: [paste links or usernames] |
| Find similar creators | Expand from one seed creator to creators with similar audience, style, or content | Find US YouTube creators similar to @creator_demo |
| Move into outreach | Send collaboration emails to selected creators and track follow-up status | Send collaboration outreach to these creators with email and record follow-up status |
Step 1: Ask Lobster to install the skill
Send the sentence below to Lobster. It will install the production creator collection skill from the official CreatiVault skills repository. If your environment cannot install it automatically, ask your workspace admin for help.
Please use npx skills add creativault/skills to install the CreatiVault creator collection skill
Step 2: Configure account access
Think of the API Key as an access key. It tells CreatiVault who is calling the service, which capabilities are available, and which account's credits are used. The email identifies the operator for task tracking and troubleshooting.
| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CV_API_KEY | Yes | CreatiVault access key that controls permissions, credit account, and available quota |
| CV_USER_IDENTITY | Yes | Operator email used to record who starts searches, collections, exports, or outreach |
| CV_API_BASE_URL | No | Usually not needed; provided by an admin only for testing or private deployments |
Please help me configure CreatiVault Skills: CV_API_KEY=your API Key CV_USER_IDENTITY=your work email
Step 3: Start Using
After installation, validate the setup with a small task before scaling collection volume.
Find US TikTok beauty creators with 10K to 100K followers, must have email, use S2 Collect data for these YouTube channels: @channel1, @channel2 Find Instagram fitness creators similar to @creator_demo Export the search results to Excel
Choose the right data level
Start with S1/S2 to narrow the candidate pool, then use S3 when you need deeper audience profiling.
| Level | Best for | Credits/item | Main output |
|---|---|---|---|
| S1 | Quick list screening and early qualification | 1 | Basic identity, profile, followers, and contact availability |
| S2 | Precise outreach and collaboration evaluation | 3 | Country, gender, followers, views, engagement, niche, email, and more |
| S3 | Audience profiling for campaign or partnership decisions | 4 | Audience gender, country, language, and age distribution |
First launch checklist
- â˘Lobster has installed the skill and can recognize the creator-scraper-cv capability.
- â˘The API Key and operator email are configured, and the key has credits and permissions.
- â˘Run a small 5 to 10 creator search first to confirm the workflow returns results.
- â˘Export to Excel/CSV when the result needs to be shared with your team or clients.
Alternative: manual installation
Use the source-code installation below only when Lobster cannot install Skills directly. In most cases, you do not need this step.
git clone https://github.com/creativault/skills.git cp -r skills/skills/creator-scraper-cv your-agent/skills/
