TikTok Creator Search API
Looking up a creator you already know is easy. Finding the right creators is the hard part — and the valuable one. The Firebox creator search API lets you discover TikTok creators by keyword and filter them the way agencies actually build shortlists.
Search, then filter like a marketer
Keyword search is table stakes. The value is filtering results down to creators that fit a campaign:
- Follower range — nano, micro, mid, or macro creators.
- Engagement rate — filter out big-but-dead accounts.
- Region & language — match a target market.
- Niche / category — beauty, gaming, fitness, food, and more.
- Similar accounts — give one creator, get others like them.
Example request
curl -X GET "https://openapi.scdata.cc/api/v1/tiktok/search/creators?keyword=skincare&min_followers=10000&max_followers=100000&min_engagement=0.04®ion=US" \
-H "Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY"
# → { "success": true, "data": { "results": [
# { "unique_id": "...", "follower_count": 48000,
# "engagement_rate": 0.061, "region": "US", "niche": "skincare" }, ... ] } }Build shortlists programmatically
Instead of manually browsing TikTok, your product (or your agency's internal tool) can generate ranked creator shortlists on demand — filtered by exactly the criteria a campaign needs. That's the workflow premium influencer platforms are built around, available here as a self-serve API across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

Frequently asked questions
How do I search for TikTok creators by API?
Call the creator search endpoint with a keyword and optional filters — follower range, engagement rate, region, and niche — and Firebox returns a ranked list of matching creators as JSON. You can also pass a creator to get similar accounts.
Can I filter TikTok influencers by follower count and engagement?
Yes. That's the core of the discovery API: narrow keyword results by follower range and minimum engagement rate (plus region and niche) to build campaign-ready shortlists, instead of just getting raw keyword matches.
What is similar-account discovery?
Give the API one creator and it returns others with similar audiences and content — useful for expanding a shortlist from a known good creator, or finding alternatives at different price points.
Does discovery work for Instagram and YouTube too?
Yes. Search and discovery use the same API shape across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, so one integration covers creator discovery on all three platforms.
How is this priced?
Search and discovery are intelligence endpoints, priced in credits above a simple profile lookup, on the same self-serve plans starting at $29/month with a free tier to evaluate.
