## panorama/creator-vetting

`GET /v1/panorama/creator-vetting`

Research one creator on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X or Threads: public profile, a bounded recent-post sample, observed interaction metrics and posting cadence. Supported comment lookups sample multiple selected posts with explicit caps and original evidence. Optional content_review=1 adds advisory text-only flags with exact evidence for human review; it does not inspect images or videos. Missing counters stay unknown; no audience authenticity grade is inferred.

*Creator vetting*

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `handle` | yes | Creator username without the @. — e.g. `nasa` |
| `platform` | yes | tiktok, instagram, youtube, x or threads. — e.g. `tiktok` |
| `posts_limit` | no | Integer1–20, default20; returned source can contain fewer posts. Missing YouTube counters are hydrated in one bounded batch for at most10 retained videos, subject to the same workflow budget. — e.g. `20` |
| `comment_posts` | no | Integer0–10, default3; maximum posts to sample comments from. — e.g. `3` |
| `comments_per_post` | no | Integer1–50, default20; maximum comments requested for each sampled post. — e.g. `20` |
| `content_review` | no | Optional review of text from already-returned creator posts (default off). At most eight posts receive bounded advisory flags with exact source sentences for human review. Does not inspect images/video, verify allegations, infer identity or personal traits, determine authenticity, or score the creator. No extra source calls or credit surcharge; unavailable or uncertain analysis remains explicit within the existing request budget. — e.g. `1` |
| `dry_run` | no | Read a zero-credit estimate without fetching sources, running AI, or reserving credits. Cache status is a snapshot, not a guarantee at execution. — e.g. `1` |

**Cost:** 8 credits at list price per successful uncached response; variable-cost operations may quote or settle a different charge. Confirmed uncharged or refunded failures report zero. Pending reconciliation can report credits_used:null; retain request_id and the original idempotency key.
