Creator discovery and outliers API

What to build with it

Start with a narrow topic so creator selection has a meaningful context.
Read the candidate creators and the videos supporting their inclusion.
Check an individual creator's recent profile before outreach or paid collaboration.

Provider reference: Virlo documentation. Authentication uses a provider-issued Bearer token, stored on your server.

Documented HTTP responses: 200, 401, 404, 429. Handle each non-success response explicitly; do not silently convert a failed lookup to an empty result.

Before you integrate

Discovery within one research topic does not establish a global creator ranking or verified contact information.

Check the provider's current price, allowed use and retention terms before sending requests. An optional field can be absent; the schema alone does not establish its completeness or accuracy.

Give this task to your coding agent

creator-discovery-api agent prompt

Help me implement creator discovery and outliers api using the documented Virlo API.

Reference: https://allthemapis.com/social-media-apis/creator-discovery-api
Provider documentation: https://dev.virlo.ai/docs/agents
Base URL: https://api.virlo.ai
Starting operation: GET /v1/agents/{id}/creators/outliers

Read the current provider docs and confirm the required inputs before writing code. Load VIRLO_API_KEY from a server-side environment variable and use Bearer authentication. Do not put the key in client code, logs, analytics, or the chat.

Ask me for any missing video URL, creator handle, research intent, or job ID. Do not invent a result. Ask for approval before starting billable lookups, recurring jobs, or destructive changes. For jobs, keep the returned ID and poll with the documented delay instead of starting the job twice. Handle pagination, rate limits, partial results, and missing fields explicitly.

Build the smallest integration for this task:
1. Start with a narrow topic so creator selection has a meaningful context.
2. Read the candidate creators and the videos supporting their inclusion.
3. Check an individual creator's recent profile before outreach or paid collaboration.

Return the code, the environment variables I need, and a short explanation of what was actually retrieved versus inferred. Do not execute paid requests until I approve.
