• find_related_social_media_profiles

• get_post

  Fetch a single post by id: views, likes, comments, engagement rate, outlier scores for seven time windows, thumbnail and the owning profile. When a transcript or visual analysis already exists it is included at no extra cost. The visual analysis is a structured scene-by-scene bre

• get_profile

  Fetch one tracked profile by id: follower count, bio, average views/likes/engagement across time windows, and recent tracked posts. The averages are the baseline outlier scores are computed against. Use search_profiles first to resolve a handle to an id. Cost: 1 credit per call.

• request_transcript

  Queues AI transcription of the spoken audio for a video post. Accepts a public post URL or an internal post id. Asynchronous: returns a job reference to poll with get_job_status; once complete the transcript is attached to get_post responses. Credits are charged on queueing and a

• request_visual_analysis

  Queues a structured visual analysis for a post: for a video, a scene-by-scene breakdown (per-scene timing, scene type, on-screen text, visual elements and a recreation note) plus an overall-style summary (color palette, text style, editing pace); for an image slideshow, per-slide

• crawl_profile

  Submits a public profile for crawling: profile metadata plus its recent posts, stats and thumbnails, after which it stays tracked and appears in searches. Asynchronous. Returns a job reference for get_job_status. If the profile is already tracked, this returns immediately without

• get_job_status

  Returns the status of an asynchronous job started by crawl_profile or request_transcript: pending, processing, completed or failed. Free to call: polling must never cost credits. Poll every 10–30 seconds; jobs typically complete within a few minutes. Cost: free.

• get_credit_balance

  Returns the current API credit balance for the authenticated account, plus the automatic top-up state of the account (autoTopup: configured, enabled, pack, monthly charge cap and count, last error) so an agent can tell whether a zero balance is a hard stop or refills itself on th

• compare_profiles

  Compares 2–5 tracked profiles (by profile id or platform+handle) and returns each one's stats (follower count, average views/likes across time windows, engagement rate) plus a computed ranking flagging the top performer by followers and by engagement. Pure lookup, fast. Unresolve

  Takes a public post URL (TikTok video/photo, Instagram post/reel, YouTube video/short) and resolves it to the tracked post: the entry point when your input is a link. found:true returns the postId for get_post, request_transcript, download_post_media and remix_post. found:false t

• download_post_media

  Returns direct media URLs for a tracked post, the video file, or slideshow images with positions. Accepts a public post URL or an internal post id. When media is not stored yet it queues an on-demand fetch and returns a jobRef to poll (typically ready within ~90 seconds); call ag

• get_remix_result

  Returns the finished remix for a remix_post job: adapted title, description, script segments, why-it-went-viral analysis (whyItWorks) and checklist. Free to call. Poll get_job_status until the job reports completed, then fetch here. The result is also viewable in the web app unde

  Creates a Stripe Checkout link for a credit pack, so when the balance runs out mid-task you can hand the account owner a one-click payment link instead of instructions. Credits land within seconds of payment. Free to call (5 links/hour); links are valid for 24 hours. Packs: see t

• report_issue

  Report a problem with any skill: an error you keep hitting, data that looks wrong or stale, or something you needed that the API could not do. Free: never spend credits on telling us something is broken. Include what you called, what you expected and what happened. Set wantsUpdat

• track_profile

  Starts monitoring a profile so it is automatically re-crawled at a cadence you choose (daily, every_3_days or weekly), keeping its posts and stats fresh without you polling crawl_profile. Identify the profile by profileId, platform+handle, or a public profile/post URL. Managing m

• delete_viral_alert

  Ends a viral alert by alertId (from list_viral_alerts or create_viral_alert). Free. If this alert is what started the profile's tracking and no other active alert of yours needs it, the paid refresh crawls stop as well; tracking you started yourself with track_profile is left unt

• create_watchlist

  Creates an empty watchlist (a named set of creators) and returns its watchlistId. Fill it with add_watchlist_profiles, then pass the id to search_outliers as watchlistId to scope any search to exactly those accounts. Watchlists created here appear in the owner's web app too. Free

• get_tracked_updates
