# Create a Dataset

Set up a dataset that the bot will use to find and message creators for open collaboration.

Go to the ''**search tab''** and create a dataset.

**There are three ways to create a database**

1. TTInit Database&#x20;
2. CSV Upload&#x20;
3. &#x20;Scrape from TikTok Seller Dashboard

**TTInit Database:** Access our database of over 850k creators, sourced from various agencies and data services. Use filters like:

* Product Category
* Follower Count
* Content-Type
* Avg Commission Rate
* Performance

Name your dataset, select your filters, and click "**Create dataset**."

**CSV Upload:** If you have a CSV file in the required format, upload it to create a database and run the bot on it.

**Scrape from TikTok Seller Dashboard:**

1. Directly scrape users from the live TikTok Seller Dashboard. To do this: Name the dataset.
2. &#x20;Specify the number of users to scrape (100, 300, 500).
3. Ensure your shop profile is saved for data scraping.
4. Click "**Create Dataset**." A new Chrome window will open and start scraping your data.
5. Wait until the bot is done scraping your data. This can take from 3 minutes to up to an hour, depending on the number of users you want to scrape.
