Search Social Media Profiles
search_profilesRead-onlyIdempotent
Search tracked social media profiles by handle or name, filtered by platform. Returns profile metadata, follower counts and average performance stats. Use it to resolve a handle to a profile id before fetching stats or posts, or to discover creators in the database. Results may include deactivated profiles (is_active=false), e.g. an account that was renamed or went private, retained with frozen stats; filter on is_active if you only want live accounts. Note a creator who changed handles can appear as two rows (old deactivated + new active). Cost: 1 credit per 25 profiles returned.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| page | No | Page number, 1-based. A search serves its first 1,000 profiles; a page past that is refused at no charge, so narrow the filters instead. | |
| query | No | Handle, @handle, or profile URL | |
| pageSize | No | Results per page, 1 to 100 (default 25). Billed per 25 profiles returned: 25 costs 1 credit, 100 costs 4. | |
| platforms | No | ||
| categoryId | No | Niche filter: a category id from list_categories (covers its subtree); without a query returns that niche's top profiles |
