Creator lookup and influencer research API

Inspect a creator's public profile, videos and optional deeper analysis through a background lookup.

What to build with it

  1. Start with a platform and creator handle; request only the optional analysis your task needs.
  2. Keep the returned job ID and poll its status rather than launching the lookup again.
  3. Read available videos, outliers and analysis together so a recommendation can point to supporting posts.

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

Endpoints and inputs

2 documented operations. Query and path fields are listed separately from JSON request-body fields.

Before you integrate

  • Starting a lookup can incur provider charges even though the method is GET. Audience estimates and AI analysis are not private first-party account insights.

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

Help me implement creator lookup and influencer research api using the documented Virlo API.

Reference: https://allthemapis.com/social-media-apis/creator-lookup-api
Provider documentation: https://dev.virlo.ai/docs/satellite
Base URL: https://api.virlo.ai
Starting operation: GET /v1/satellite/creator/status/{job_id}

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 platform and creator handle; request only the optional analysis your task needs.
2. Keep the returned job ID and poll its status rather than launching the lookup again.
3. Read available videos, outliers and analysis together so a recommendation can point to supporting posts.

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.
