Before you start

Creator data,
answered.

What exactly do I get for a creator?

Their public profile (followers, bio, links) and their recent posts with links, dates and the engagement each platform makes public: views or plays, likes and comments. One response format across YouTube, TikTok and Instagram.

Do you add followers up across platforms?

No. The same person can follow a creator on every platform, so adding the counts overstates the audience. Compare each platform on its own.

Can I research a creator across YouTube, TikTok and Instagram?

Yes. Collect public profiles and recent content through one API, then bring them together in your application. Confirm which accounts belong to the same creator. Adding follower counts across platforms does not give you a unique audience total.

Can I compare average views and engagement rates?

Yes. Calculate these from the public post-level data returned by each platform. The example uses ten recent posts and defines engagement as likes plus comments divided by views. Instagram photos may have no view count, and YouTube video metrics need a separate request. Missing fields should stay unknown, not become zeros.

Does Monocrawl detect fake followers or predict campaign results?

No. Public profiles and content help you assess relevance and recent performance, but do not establish follower authenticity, private audience demographics or likely sponsorship returns.

Is the shortlist a built-in campaign management tool?

No. The interactive shortlist on this page demonstrates what you can build with Monocrawl data. Use the API in your existing reporting or research workflow; it does not provide creator outreach, bookings or automatic cross-platform identity matching.
