Creator object
4 endpoints on 2 platforms return the Creator object with the same 9 fields, so code written for one platform reads the others unchanged. A call costs $0.0040 to $0.0400. It is a preview structure and may still change.
A Creator is a creator as a platform's own marketplace for sponsored content lists one: Douyin's Xingtu (星图) or Xiaohongshu's PGY (蒲公英). It carries the marketplace's creator id, the name, location, content categories and follower count, and in the full view each marketplace's rates and figures under ext.
It is not an Account: account_id points to the creator's account on the platform, as the account endpoints take it. Its id is what the marketplace's other endpoints take, Creator rates, Audience and the Xingtu and PGY figures, videos and notes among them.
Fields
A field the platform cannot give is left out of the item and named in meta.unavailable. It is never filled with a guess or a zero.
