Check a creator's audience before you pay them.

Creator vetting scores an Instagram, TikTok or YouTube profile for fake-follower risk, real engagement quality and posting consistency, flags anything odd and estimates a fair UGC rate. Pass the handle, or your own stats to skip the scrape.

What you get back

  • Fake-follower risk and engagement quality
  • Posting consistency and red flags
  • Estimated UGC rate range
  • Deterministic scoring: the same stats give the same answer

Call it over HTTP

No account and no API key. The first response is 402 Payment Required with the price; an x402-capable client pays in USDC on Base and retries. You're only charged when the call succeeds.

curl -i -X POST https://api.exepal.com/v1/creator-vetting \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"platform":"instagram","handle":"natgeo"}'
# → 402 Payment Required (price, network: base, pay-to address)
# An x402 client pays in USDC and retries → 200 with the JSON answer
