Influencer data API
Live creator profiles, post history, and engagement inputs for vetting, rate cards, and campaign reports — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, one schema.
What usually breaks first
Common failure modes after a DIY scraper or marketplace API hits production — schema drift, billing surprises, and pagination quirks.
Influencer tools need fast answers: does the handle exist, what do they post, is engagement plausible, what did the last sponsored post look like?
CSV imports fail at scale — three networks, three pagination models, three breakage surfaces per layout change. You have the scoring logic; you need current profile and post data in one ingestible shape.
8 routes for this job
Routes used in live influencer data integrations (TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube). Paths and params match OpenAPI; documented fields ship in responses.
GET /v1/tiktok/users/searchSeed discovery lists from a keyword when a brand brief names a niche, not a handle.
GET /v1/instagram/profiles/{handle}Profile card for vetting: follower count, bio, external links, verification status.
GET /v1/instagram/profiles/{handle}/postsPaginated feed posts — pull likes and comments to compute engagement rate on your side.
GET /v1/instagram/profiles/{handle}/reelsRecent Reels for short-form creators where feed posts understate actual reach.
GET /v1/tiktok/profiles/{handle}/videosTikTok upload history with view and engagement fields for sponsorship vetting.
GET /v1/tiktok/profiles/{handle}/followersFollower sample for audience-quality models — flag empty bios, default avatars, odd ratios.
GET /v1/youtube/channelChannel subscriber count and metadata from a URL or handle for rate-card lookups.
GET /v1/youtube/channels/videosRecent uploads with view counts — baseline performance before quoting a integration fee.
How teams wire this
Typical order starts with “import the shortlist.” Adjust cadence, schema, and thresholds to your stack.
- 1
Import the shortlist
Handles arrive from brand uploads, marketplace exports, or your own discovery search. Store platform + handle pairs; do not assume @names match across networks.
- 2
Hydrate profile records
Hit profile endpoints to fill CRM fields — avatar, bio, follower count, verification. Respect lookupStatus: not_found means the account is gone; completed lookups charge credits either way.
- 3
Pull post history for vetting
Fetch recent posts, Reels, or videos before approval. Your team (or your classifier) checks sponsored-content frequency, category fit, and engagement relative to follower count.
- 4
Feed fraud and audience models
Pass follower samples and engagement time series into your fake-follower scoring. Social Fetch returns the inputs; your thresholds stay in your product.
- 5
Snapshot and report campaigns
Store a pre-campaign baseline, then re-pull post metrics after deliverables go live. Compare actual views and engagement against the rate you quoted — credits do not expire between campaign bursts.
Example: pull recent Instagram posts for engagement math
Swap YOUR_API_KEY for a dashboard key. The playground pre-fills auth for the same path.
