Unknown profile fields are null. Continue with next_cursor and the same query; treat cursors as opaque. A successful page is charged once, including an empty page. **Pricing**: 0.2 credits per user search page ($0.002) ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi/openapi.documented.yml get /v1/raw/tiktok/search/users openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Influship API version: 1.0.0 description: > Public API for creator search, profile lookup, and campaign-fit analysis. ## Authentication Send your API key in the `X-API-Key` header on every authenticated request. ```bash curl -H "X-API-Key: your_api_key" https://api.influship.com/v1/creators/autocomplete?q=fitness ``` ## Billing and Rate Limits The API uses credit-based billing and credit-based rate limits. - every endpoint has a credit cost - successful responses include `X-Credits-Charged` and `X-Credits-Features` - rate limits are enforced with per-minute and per-hour credit budgets - rate limit state is returned in the `RateLimit-*` headers ## Agentic Payments The security entries in this base SDK contract describe `X-API-Key` authentication. The hosted discovery document at `https://api.influship.com/openapi.json` augments currently enabled paid operations with `402` responses and `x-payment-info` metadata for x402 v2 and MPP. Use that hosted document when building no-key payment clients because supported operations and payment rails are deployment-dependent. ## Pagination List endpoints use cursor pagination. - send `limit` to control page size - use `next_cursor` from the response to fetch the next page - stop when `has_more` is `false` Search has one special rule: - `POST /v1/search` creates a persisted search session - `GET /v1/search/{id}` paginates that session for free - free pagination is capped by the original search `limit` ## Errors Errors use a consistent shape: ```json { "error": { "code": "rate_limit_exceeded", "message": "Rate limit exceeded (per minute)" } } ``` See each operation for exact request and response schemas. contact: name: Influship Support email: support@influship.com license: name: Proprietary url: https://influship.com/terms servers: - url: https://api.influship.com description: Production security: - ApiKeyAuth: [] tags: - name: Health description: API health and status endpoints - name: Creators description: >- Retrieve creator profiles and discover new creators through search, autocomplete, and lookalike matching.
