Creator search

Cross-platform creator discovery over TikTok, Instagram and Threads: unified creator cards with reach, verification and per-card evidence (Threads creators are derived from matching posts and cite them). Every leg is metered, so the flagship fair-use ceiling applies; no creators found charges 0 and failed legs prorate.

Parameters

Query parameters

Name	Required	Description	Example
`query`	yes	Who to look for — a niche, a name, a topic.	`barefoot running`
`sources`	no	Comma list restricting the fan-out: tiktok, instagram, threads (default all three).	`tiktok,instagram`
`estimate`	no	true returns the plan and maximum cost without running anything. Free.	`true`
`stream`	no	1 answers text/event-stream: plan, source-started, source-completed, cost and enrichment progress events as legs actually run, then one final result event carrying the exact envelope a plain call returns — same billing, same receipts.	`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.	`1`

Response

Response fields and example

This example is illustrative, not a captured live response. Variable-cost operations may settle a charge different from the list price below. A successful response puts the platform payload in data and reports the exact credits used, remaining balance, request id and cache status beside it.

200 · application/json

{
  "success": true,
  "platform": "search",
  "endpoint": "/v1/search/creators",
  "data": {
    "items": [],
    "count": 0
  },
  "credits_used": 10,
  "credits_remaining": 99,
  "request_id": "req_…",
  "cached": false
}

The example is illustrative and shows a documented subset of data. The fields below are optional across supported sources; nullable fields can also be absent. Preserve unknown values and accept additional fields.

Schema basis: reviewed response shaper. See schema coverage and validation limits.

Download the data JSON Schema. Validate response.data, not the whole envelope. A valid shape does not establish that every field or source record was returned.

Field inside data	Type	Meaning
`items`	`array`	Nested response fields; optional unless explicitly documented.
`items[].id`	`string \| null`	Exact source identifier; preserve it as a string.
`items[].handle`	`string \| null`	handle
`items[].name`	`string \| null`	name
`items[].url`	`string \| null`	url
`items[].headline`	`string \| null`	headline
`items[].location`	`string \| null`	location
`items[].avatar_url`	`string \| null`	avatar url
`items[].followers`	`number \| null`	Public follower count.
`items[].verified`	`boolean \| null`	Explicit verification flag when supplied.
`items[].platform`	`string \| null`	Source platform.
`items[].description`	`string \| null`	Public profile description.
`count`	`number \| null`	Returned rows, not the total population.
`cursor`	`string \| null`	Opaque continuation; pass unchanged.
`has_more`	`boolean \| null`	Source continuation indicator.
`total`	`number \| null`	Source-reported total; null means unknown.

Discovery matches public profiles; matching names do not establish cross-platform identity.

Failures use the typed error envelope. A confirmed uncharged or refunded failure reports zero; a pending reconciliation can report an unknown charge. Read credits_used and error.details.billing_status, and keep request_id for recovery. Response contract · Error reference
