The vetting
Big follower counts lie.
Recent videos don’t.
The six “home barista” creators in range, checked. Market, posting pace and engagement all come from their public profile and latest videos.

What you can build
From a niche to a shortlist.
Your way.
Campaign shortlists by country
Search, keep the follower range you want, then confirm the market so a UK campaign isn’t full of US accounts.
search-users → profile-regionYour own creator scoring
Pull recent videos and score creators on the numbers you care about: typical views, engagement, posting pace, time since last post.
profile-videosLookalike creators
Start from a creator who already works for you and find accounts like them on Instagram, then vet those the same way.
instagram/similar-accounts → profileDiscovery in your agent
Ask Claude or ChatGPT for “US home-barista creators with 5K to 1M followers who posted this month” and let it run the chain.

Before you start
Discovery,
answered.
Can I filter by follower count, niche and country?
Yes. Search by the words a niche uses, filter the results by followers on your side for free, then confirm each creator’s market with one request before you shortlist them.
How do I know a creator’s engagement is real?
Read their recent videos. You get views, likes, comments and shares per post, so you can spot a video whose views don’t match its likes, or an account that stopped posting months ago, before you pay anyone.
Which platforms can I discover creators on?
TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Threads, on one key. TikTok adds a market check per creator; on Instagram you can also find lookalike accounts from a creator you already like.
Does it cost per creator or per request?
Per request. A search returns a page of accounts; the market check and recent videos are one request each per creator you want to vet. Filtering by followers happens on your side and is free.
Can I find the same creator on other platforms?
Yes. Look them up by handle on each platform with the same key, then compare each platform on its own numbers rather than adding followers together.
Can I build my own influencer tool on top?
Yes. The data comes back as clean JSON, so you can power your own shortlists, scoring and dashboards, or let your AI agent run the search over MCP.
Search your niche.
