# Prism Creator Vet API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/prism/creator-vet)

> Pulls a creator's profile + recent posts + a commenter sample (TikTok / YouTube / Instagram) plus a news + Reddit + Hacker News controversy read, and computes deterministic authenticity signals: engagement rate, a low-quality-commenter share, posting cadence, and controversy inputs. `include=cross_platform` adds the universal cross-platform presence leg (+25cr, refunded if it fails). The core profile leg is critical (creator not found → full refund).

TL;DR: `GET /v1/prism/creator-vet` costs 50 credits per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## FAQ

### What is the SocialCrawl influencer vetting API?

GET /v1/prism/creator-vet vets a creator before you partner by fanning out into engagement quality, commenter authenticity, posting cadence, and controversy signals in one call. It returns a due-diligence report so you can screen a handle before money changes hands, optionally across several platforms.

### How do I vet a creator?

Pass handle and the composite pulls the creator's recent content, analyzes engagement quality and how authentic the commenter base looks, measures posting cadence, and scans for controversy signals. Use platform to target a specific network and depth to control how far back the analysis reaches.

### What signals does the vetting report include?

You get an engagement-quality read, a commenter-authenticity assessment that flags bot-like or purchased-looking activity, a posting-cadence profile, and surfaced controversy signals from public discussion. Each signal is derived from real fetched content, so a red flag always points back to evidence.

### How much does a creator-vet call cost?

Each call is a flat 50 credits and returns one synchronous JSON response. If a strict majority of the analysis legs fail the call is partial-refunded, and if every leg fails the full 50 credits are refunded automatically. New accounts get 100 free credits with no card required.

### Can it vet a creator across multiple platforms?

Yes. Leave platform unset to let the composite check where the handle exists, or name a platform to focus the analysis. Cross-platform vetting shows whether engagement quality and audience authenticity hold up consistently or only look strong on one network.
