Find Your First Creators

Your goal is not to run the broadest search possible. Your goal is to produce a shortlist worth reviewing.

Recommended input

Platform
Market or geography
Category or niche
Creator size range
Whether commercial contactability matters

Recommended flow

Start with a focused discovery request
Narrow the results to 3-5 candidates
Move into a first creator read instead of endlessly widening the search
If you do not have a stable creator reference yet, start that first read from a URL or a platform + channel-id pair
After the read returns creator_id, reuse it for later analysis, outreach, and monitoring

Pagination note

Creator search defaults to page_size=10 and supports up to --page_size 20
For next-page follow-ups, reuse the prior response's data.search_after
If your request uses cursor arrays or complex filters, let your agent pass a JSON body instead of hand-editing shell-quoted arrays

Hide candidates you already know

After a page is returned, ask your agent to use search filtering when you want to hide candidates that are already completed collaborations, under collaboration, in communication, contacted by your account or team, or already in a collection.

This is a second step on the current page, not a new broad search. It is useful when the result quality is good but you want to remove candidates your team has already handled.

What to do after the shortlist looks promising

Do not assume the discovery result already contains the full creator identity block
Use the next creator read to confirm a stable identity before you branch into deeper evaluation
Treat discovery as the handoff into analysis, not as the final judgment step

How to judge whether the discovery run is good enough

The results match the intended market and category
You can naturally pick the next creators to analyze
The result set does not feel obviously too broad or too noisy

If the results are too broad

Add geography constraints
Tighten the creator size range
Tighten the content direction
Use search filtering only after the returned page is already close to your target
