# Finding accounts and creators: Who are the accounts to work with in this category? Finding accounts and creators runs on 9 platforms: the example run makes 2 calls and costs at most $0.0040. Searches one page of accounts on each platform you pick, as one table with a platform column: name, bio, followers, posts. Every platform is one call charged on its own. Rates and audience profiles exist only on Xingtu and Pugongying and are not in this table. Tell your AI: > Install the DataXAPI skill dataxapi-creators from https://dataxapi.com/skills/dataxapi-creators.zip. [Download the package](https://dataxapi.com/skills/dataxapi-creators.zip) · A .zip with one SKILL.md. It runs with the `dataxapi` command line. - Example run: $0.0040 (at most. A failed call is never charged) - Calls: 2 (with the example inputs) - Hard ceiling: 5 calls, no run is opened above $0.1 ## Ask it like this - Who are the coffee accounts worth working with on Douyin and TikTok? - Find skincare creators on Xiaohongshu and Instagram, with follower counts. - Search “home gym” accounts on YouTube and give me a shortlist to look at. ## What it does Four steps. Only the second calls endpoints, so only the second costs money. 1. Show the plan first: Free, and needs no key: the most calls and the most money this run can come to. ```bash dataxapi run creators platforms=douyin,tiktok 'query=咖啡' --plan ``` 2. Run it, capped at that amount: Each line is one endpoint of the example run, at its listed price. | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | [Douyin user search](https://dataxapi.com/apis/douyin/users/search/) `GET /v1/douyin/users/search` | 1 × $0.0020 | $0.0020 | | [TikTok user search](https://dataxapi.com/apis/tiktok/users/search/) `GET /v1/tiktok/users/search` | 1 × $0.0020 | $0.0020 | 2 calls · at most $0.0040. A call that fails is not charged. The run stops rather than spend more than its cap. ```bash dataxapi run creators platforms=douyin,tiktok 'query=咖啡' --yes --max-spend 0.004 --out creators.csv ``` 3. Line everything up in one table: 9 columns, the same on every platform; a column a platform does not give is empty. No call, no cost. 4. Your AI reads the table and answers: What the table means is for your AI to say. It ends with where the data came from and when. ## What you get back An illustration of the table, with the task's real columns. The names and figures in it are made up. | Platform | Handle | Name | Bio | Followers | Posts | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | douyin | kafei_laozhou | 老周的咖啡日常 | 每天一杯手冲，器具测评 | 386200 | 512 | | douyin | beanlab | 豆子实验室 | 烘焙师，讲产地和处理法 | 129800 | 274 | | tiktok | trailbrew | Trail Brew | Coffee you can carry. | 218400 | 342 | All 9 columns: `platform` (Platform), `account_id` (Account ID), `username` (Handle), `name` (Name), `url` (Link), `bio` (Bio), `verified` (Verified), `followers` (Followers), `posts` (Posts) ## Inputs it needs | | | | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `platforms` | platforms, up to 5 | The platforms to search, at most 5 | `douyin, tiktok` | | `query` | text | A category or a keyword | `咖啡` | ## Last verified run - Date: 2026-10-13 - Platforms: Douyin, YouTube, TikTok - Calls: 3 - Charged: $0.0045 - Rows: 77 - Against: the platforms, live ## Related A ready-made Skill of [Finding and vetting creators](https://dataxapi.com/solutions/creators/) The 9 endpoints it uses: [Douyin user search](https://dataxapi.com/apis/douyin/users/search/) ($0.0020), [Instagram user search](https://dataxapi.com/apis/instagram/users/search/) ($0.0040), [Kuaishou user search](https://dataxapi.com/apis/kuaishou/users/search/) ($0.0200), [TikTok user search](https://dataxapi.com/apis/tiktok/users/search/) ($0.0020), [Weibo user search](https://dataxapi.com/apis/weibo/users/search/) ($0.0020), [X user search](https://dataxapi.com/apis/x/users/search/) ($0.0004 / item), [Xiaohongshu user search](https://dataxapi.com/apis/xiaohongshu/users/search/) ($0.0200), [YouTube channel search](https://dataxapi.com/apis/youtube/channels/search/) ($0.0020), [Zhihu user search](https://dataxapi.com/apis/zhihu/users/search/) ($0.0020) Platforms it runs on: [Douyin API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/douyin/), [Instagram API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/instagram/), [Kuaishou API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/kuaishou/), [TikTok API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/tiktok/), [Weibo API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/weibo/), [X (Twitter) API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/x/), [Xiaohongshu (RedNote) API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/xiaohongshu/), [YouTube API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/youtube/), [Zhihu API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/zhihu/) --- Generated from catalog revision c48ce454ae6c4c65, price book 2.
