Endpoint `GET https://app.distribution.tech/api/v1/creators` Scope `creators:read` Changes data No, a read MCP tool [creators\_search](https://distribution.tech/docs/mcp/tools/creators-search) ## Parameters | Name | In | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `q` | query | string | No | Part of a name, handle or bio. | | `segment` | query | string | No | An audience segment id, e.g. ai or saas\_b2b. | | `reach_band` | query | one of "nano", "micro", "mid", "macro", "mega" | No | The creator's size by followers. | | `goal` | query | one of "launch", "funding", "feature", "program" | No | The campaign's goal: launch, funding or feature (an announcement with a post of yours to quote) or program (steady reach). Shapes the format advice. | | `match` | query | string | No | Your audience segments, comma separated (from /audience): adds match\_score (over 70 strong, over 50 good) and ranks by it. | | `limit` | query | integer | No | Page size: default 24, at most 50. | | `offset` | query | integer | No | Where the page starts; page through every approved creator with total. | | `fit` | query | boolean | No | true: only creators reaching at least one of the match segments (the 'fit your audience' set); total then counts only those. | | `country` | query | string | No | The creator's country as X reports it, exact and case-insensitive, e.g. United States. | | `language` | query | string | No | The language the creator posts in, exact and case-insensitive, e.g. English. | | `followers_min` | query | integer | No | At least this many X followers. | | `followers_max` | query | integer | No | At most this many X followers. | | `er_min` | query | number | No | At least this engagement rate over the last 30 days, in percent (0 to 100, two decimals). | | `match_min` | query | integer | No | At least this match score (0 to 100; over 70 strong, over 50 good).

It sizes the shortlist (three times the posts it buys at the good fits' median price, 10 to 50); without it the list is 25. It never filters. | ## Request with curl Set `DISTRIBUTION_API_KEY` to a key from Developers with the `creators:read` scope, and each path variable to an id from an earlier answer. The body carries the required fields. curl ``` curl "https://app.distribution.tech/api/v1/creators" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $DISTRIBUTION_API_KEY" ``` ## Response `200` OK. The body has these fields: | Name | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `total` | integer | No | How many creators this answer lists: the shortlist, never a count of the network. | | `priced` | integer | No | How many of total are bookable now by the one rule in the API description (What bookable means); the rest carry price\_estimate, never a price. | | `catalog` | object | No | The whole network, whatever this call filtered: the same counts as the app and the site (GET /api/network/facts on the app host), refreshed at most every five minutes. Left out when the network cannot be counted right now, never guessed. | | `cap` | integer | No | How many creators the selection holds (the same as total). | | `limit` | integer | No | This page's size: default 24, at most 50. | | `offset` | integer | No | Where this page starts, at most total (an offset past the end is answered as total); the next page starts at offset + limit while it is below total. | | `creators` | array of object | No | Summary rows, best fits first by score and in the order asked for: no handle, link or posts. GET /creators/{id} (creator\_get) opens one in full. | 200 response body, every field with its type ``` { "total": 0, "priced": 0, "catalog": { "approved": 0, "priced": 0 }, "cap": 0, "limit": 0, "offset": 0, "creators": [ { "provenance": { "followers": { "source": "", "method": "", "measured_at": "", "expires_at": "", "label": "Verified", "stale": false, "as_of": "" }, "median_views_30d": { "source": "", "method": "", "measured_at": "", "expires_at": "", "label": "Verified", "stale": false, "as_of": "" }, "engagement_rate_30d": { "source": "", "method": "", "measured_at": "", "expires_at": "", "label": "Verified", "stale": false, "as_of": "" } }, "id": "", "name": "", "status": "approved", "status_label": "", "status_reason": "", "in_automatic_plans": false, "match_score": 0, "match_label": "", "on_sale": false, "reach_band": "nano", "median_views_30d": 0, "median_views_30d_network": 0, "followers": 0, "verified_badge": false, "country": "", "language": "", "segments": [ "" ], "bio": "", "positioning": "", "avatar_url": "", "ask_price": false, "price_estimate": { "min_usd": 0, "max_usd": 0, "label": "", "provenance": { "source": "", "method": "", "measured_at": "", "expires_at": "", "label": "Verified", "stale": false, "as_of": "" }, "calc": { "calc_version": "", "inputs": {} } }, "engagement_rate_30d": 0, "posts_per_week": 0, "match_reasons": [ { "kind": "topic", "text": "" } ], "past_collabs": [ { "project": "", "title": "", "date": "", "role": "Launch post", "brand": { "avatar_url": "", "site": "", "initials": "" } } ], "offerings": [ { "unit_id": "", "format": "post", "label": "", "deliverable": "", "price_cents": 0, "buyable": false, "price_as_of": "", "expected_views": 0, "cost_per_1k_views_cents": 0, "provenance": { "source": "", "method": "", "measured_at": "", "expires_at": "", "label": "Verified", "stale": false, "as_of": "" }, "calc": { "calc_version": "", "inputs": {} } } ], "synced_at": "", "refresh_failed_at": "", "advice": { "recommended": "post", "reason": "" }, "views_series": [ 0 ] } ] } ``` ## Errors | Status | When | | --- | --- | | `400` | A parameter is not valid: details.problems names each field and what it accepts. | | `401` | No API key, an unknown one, or a revoked one. | | `403` | The key does not have this endpoint's scope. | | `429` | Too many requests for this key in the current minute (60); Retry-After and RateLimit-Reset say when to try again. On POST /campaigns and on POST /plans/current/lines when it starts a plan: the brand's 3 new campaigns in 24 hours are used (details.reason daily\_campaign\_limit); details.resets\_at and Retry-After say when the limit reopens, a rolling 24 hours from the first of them, not a calendar day; archiving or deleting a campaign does not give its slot back. On GET /creators and GET /creators/{id}: a creator read limit is used (details.reason per\_minute, daily\_lists, daily\_reveals, daily\_seen or locked). daily\_seen is your workspace's one pool of 300 creator views a day (300 different creators shown or opened since midnight UTC), shared by the app and every API key of the brand: details.scope workspace and details.limit 300; a creator already seen today, in the app or through any key, still opens and costs nothing. The other reasons are this key's own limit (details.scope key) or the brand's ceiling over all its keys (details.scope api). | | `500` | internal: the request failed on our side. Try again. | | `503` | unavailable: the service or this part of it is not reachable right now.
