Find a creator's other social profiles API reference

GET /v1/creators/social-profiles

The social profiles a creator links from their own bio, links section or link-in-bio page, each as a profile with its platform and URL; extra.evidence lists the pages that say so and extra.confidence is 1.0 for a link on the profile itself, 0.9 for one a link-in-bio page or a linked profile declares. Only links the creator published are followed; nothing is guessed from a matching handle. Pass a platform and a bare handle (a leading @ is optional; YouTube also takes a channel id), or a profile url.

Cost: 1 credit
Cache: Results are kept up to 30 days; send max_age_days to reuse them for free.

Response#

A list of Profile objects in data.items, with data.cursor and data.has_more.

See Data models for every field. The envelope around data is described in Responses.

Errors#

Failures are free: credits_charged is 0. Branch on error.code, never on the message.

Code	HTTP	Retry	Meaning
`invalid_params`	400	no	A parameter is missing, unknown or has the wrong type.
`unsupported_url`	400	no	The URL is not one this endpoint accepts (wrong platform or form).
`not_found`	404	no	The platform says this profile, post or item does not exist.

Every request can also fail with the account and platform errors listed on the Errors page.

Example error:

1{2  "ok": false,3  "error": {4    "code": "not_found",5    "message": "The platform says this profile, post or item does not exist.",6    "retryable": false7  },8  "credits_charged": 0,9  "request_id": "req_2d8a479165177525403b896d"10}
