Creator search API

2 endpoints on 2 platforms return the same Creator object. The creators of a platform's creator marketplace that match what you look for. A call costs from $0.0040 to $0.0400, each endpoint at its own price; a failed call is free.

Creator search on each platform

One row per endpoint: what it is called, how much comes back in a call, and what a call costs.

PlatformEndpointA pageReturnsPrice
DouyinDouyin Xingtu creator searchGET/v1/douyin/xingtu/creators/search20Creator list$0.0040
Xiaohongshu (RedNote)Xiaohongshu PGY creator searchGET/v1/xiaohongshu/pgy/creators/search20Creator list$0.0400
Prices are the prices in force. A call that fails, or whose result is uncertain, costs nothing.Live status →

Which platform fills which field

A field an endpoint cannot give is listed in meta.unavailable on every answer, so a gap is never a surprise.

The same call on two platforms

Same parameter names, same paging, same answer. Only the path changes.

Douyin Xingtu creator search: From a response recorded 2026-10-12 22:06 UTC. Names, text and IDs are examples, and so are the links: none is the recorded one (the page shows no one's personal data); the figures are as recorded. Long lists are cut. The request ID, cursor and balance are made up.

What comes back

The objects these endpoints answer with: one set of fields each, the same on every platform.

Questions about the Creator search API

Short answers. Each endpoint's page has its own limits and examples.

Douyin Xingtu creator search API →
How much does it cost?

$0.0040 a call on Douyin; $0.0400 a call on Xiaohongshu (RedNote). You are charged when data comes back; a failed call costs nothing. No subscription, no monthly minimum.

How do I get every page?

Pass page.next_cursor back as cursor until page.has_more is false. Each page is one call at the same price.

Does every platform fill every field?

No. 2 of the 9 fields are missing on at least one platform; the table on this page says which. A field an endpoint cannot give is named in meta.unavailable on every answer, never filled with a guess.

Do I need an account on the platform?

No. One DataXAPI key reads all 2 platforms. No platform account and no cookie.

Other data types

The same idea everywhere: one action, every platform that has it.

Start with one key.

207 endpoints on 21 platforms, from $0.0003 a call. Errors and timeouts are not charged.
