The best creator data API for influencer marketing platforms (2026)

I build crawlfeed. If you’re building an influencer platform, the first decision isn’t which API. It’s whether you need data creators consent to share, or public data you can read about anyone.

My pick

Use a public-data API for discovery and vetting, and Phyllo once a creator signs up with you. For the public side, crawlfeed if you span many platforms, EnsembleData if you go deep on TikTok and Instagram at high volume.

What I’d do today

Separate the metrics you show before a creator signs up from the ones you show after.
Use public data for the first list and consented data for the second.

Questions

Can a public API give me audience demographics?

Only partially. crawlfeed has TikTok audience by country. Age, gender and earnings need creator consent, through a tool like Phyllo.

Which API is best for TikTok creators specifically?

EnsembleData for deep, steady volume; ScrapeCreators for the lowest price per call.
