# Find the creators worth a brief, before you open a spreadsheet

Finding and vetting creators with DataXAPI: 1 ready-made Skill on 9 platforms. The example run makes 2 calls and costs at most $0.0040; a failed call is never charged.

## Who it is for

For influencer and partnership teams who start every campaign with a search box. Your AI searches accounts by category on the platforms you pick and returns a shortlist with follower and post counts.

- **Influencer and partnership teams**: Start every campaign with a shortlist, then check account after account.
- **Brands**: Want the accounts of one category on several platforms, side by side.
- **Agencies and MCNs**: Need a first-pass table with followers and links for a client proposal.

## The questions it answers

- **Who are the accounts to work with in this category?** One page of matching accounts on each platform: handle, name, bio, followers, posts.
- **Is this account real and active?** Whether it is verified, how much it has posted, and a link to check it yourself.
- **What does a creator charge?** Rate cards and audience profiles are a separate family of endpoints, read from Douyin Xingtu (星图) and Xiaohongshu PGY (蒲公英) when you ask for them.

## What you get

Every Skill hands back one table. These are its columns, and what each one holds.
