Agent-Native · MCP
No SDK, no glue code. CreatorDB runs a first-party remote MCP server at mcp.creatordb.app, listed on the official MCP registry: Claude and any MCP-enabled agent can discover 45 annotated, read-only tools and pull creator and brand data on their own.
Connection steps and the full tool reference are in the MCP setup guide.
Connect Your Agent →Brand Intelligence
Plenty of tools show a creator's brand deals inside their app. CreatorDB exposes the whole brand side over the API: a searchable directory of 14,800+ brands, brand profiles with industries and sponsorship footprints, brand-level spend estimates, and bi-directional lookup. Every brand a creator has worked with, and every creator a brand has sponsored.
Four endpoint families power it: /sponsor/list for the directory, /sponsor/information and /sponsor/summary for brand profiles, and /sponsor/performance for sponsorship activity over time. See the same data rendered live in Brand Search, then pull it as JSON: each endpoint is documented in the API docs.

The Dataset
CreatorDB's influencer data API exposes the same database our global agency uses to book real campaigns — 30M+ creator profiles across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, refreshed almost daily. Drop a clean REST API behind your product, and you ship the same creator intelligence agencies pay six figures for, in days.
It's the influencer API teams reach for when scraping Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok stops scaling — a creator analytics and influencer marketing API with audience demographics inferred by our AI enrichment models, sponsorship history, cost-per-video estimates, content niches, verified emails, plus AI-inferred topic and brand-affinity signals. Stop scraping. Stop reconciling. Just call the endpoint: every one is documented at docs.creatordb.app, with request and response schemas for each field.
Data Quality
The biggest advertised databases count hundreds of millions of profiles; most are dormant, duplicated, or empty. Ours is the same database our own agency books real campaigns on: when the data is wrong, we feel it before you do. Four ways we prove the foundation is worth building on.
A 400M-profile database wins the vanity contest, not the campaign. The question that matters is what share of the creators who actually move a niche we index, with fresh, complete data. That is the number we optimize, and the one raw counts can't fake.
Contact emails verified through three independent checkers: ZeroBounce, NeverBounce, and MillionVerifier, at 99.8% deliverability accuracy across 1M+ emails spanning all three platforms (verified August 2026). That 1M+ is the accuracy benchmark, not the ceiling: the full email dataset is far larger. Verified means deliverable, not just present in the record.
Active, in-demand creators refresh near-daily, so shortlists reflect this week's numbers, not last quarter's crawl. Every API response carries a lastDbUpdateTime stamp, so freshness is checkable per call: an honest refresh model instead of a flat promise the long tail can't back up.
Industry-first fractional API calls return only the fields you request, and you pay only for those. Price the outcome, "a vetted shortlist with working emails", not a stack of full-profile calls you mostly throw away.
The claim above, tested against our own live API on August 11, 2026: for each niche, the census of creators we index above two subscriber floors, and how complete the data is for the 25 most-subscribed creators above 1M subscribers. That is a deliberately top-band sample of our most-crawled profiles; a wider-band measurement is planned.
External check: all 50 of Wikipedia's most-subscribed YouTube channels (ranking as of June 2026, a list we don't control) are in the CreatorDB index, verified by live API calls on August 11, 2026. 100% coverage, with audience demographics for 50 of 50 and a verified email on file for 40 of 50; most channels without one are music labels and TV networks.
| Niche | Creators >100K Subs | Creators >1M Subs | Verified Email On File (n=25) | Audience Demographics (n=25) | Sponsorship Signals (n=25) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beauty | 7,432 | 1,059 | 84% | 96% | 100% |
| Gaming | 10,058 | 1,554 | 96% | 96% | 100% |
| Finance | 8,467 | 1,222 | 80% | 100% | 100% |
| Tech | 4,752 | 676 | 92% | 100% | 100% |
Every email on file is deliverability-verified to 99.8% across 1M+ checked; the email column shows how many of each niche's top 25 creators have one. Most creators without one are corporate or institutional channels (Google, TED-Ed) that publish no creator contact. Sponsorship Signals means the profile carries at least one sponsorship data point (the hasSponsors flag or sponsorship history records), not a complete deal history. Census counts are CreatorDB index totals; niches are unions of related niche tags. Finance is our thinnest email niche at 80%. Re-measured quarterly alongside the competitive scan.
Fractional Calls
Every profile carries up to 245 data points. Most jobs need five of them. CreatorDB is the first influencer data API to offer fractional calls: request exactly the elements you need, and billing counts only what comes back. A two-field call bills 0.2 credits where the full profile bills 2.0, measured live, August 2026. The full profile is a hard cap: fractional wins below roughly 20 fields, and past that the 2.0-credit ceiling protects you.
The result is the best cost per useful outcome in creator data: you price the job, "find, qualify, and contact 100 US beauty creators", not the stack of full-profile calls other APIs make you buy along the way. Fractional billing applies inside every package, so the same budget simply buys more outcomes. The full field list per endpoint is in the API docs.

The Foundation
Evaluate, discover, understand: purpose-built capability suites designed so you can pick exactly the data you need, and pay only for what you use.
30M+ profiles across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok: identity, niches, and creator emails included.
Age range, country breakdown, and gender split for every tracked creator, inferred by our AI enrichment models. The data that decides which audience you actually reach.
Verified contact emails for creators across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok: triple-checked with independent verifiers to 99.8% deliverability accuracy across 1M+ verified emails, so outreach lists built from the API actually land.
Find creators in plain English. "Korean beauty creators with a US audience over 100K followers": the API parses the brief and returns a ranked list.

Based on public documentation, marketing sites, and MCP registries, August 2026. Rows reflect what each platform documents publicly, not private or enterprise-only offerings. Re-scanned quarterly; next scan scheduled November 2026. Full methodology and platform list.
A searchable brand directory, brand profiles, spend estimates, and bi-directional creator-to-brand lookup, delivered over both a public REST API and a first-party MCP server on the official registry. Any single row above has a rival or two. As of our August 2026 scan, the combination has none. And underneath it sits data held to a measurable bar: 1M+ emails triple-verified to 99.8% deliverability, engagement computed against active followers, near-daily refresh on active creators, and industry-first fractional calls priced by useful outcome.
