Influencer Similar Creators API
Find similar creators with the lookalikes API
Is there an API to find creators similar to one you already know?
Yes. The Influencers.club Similar Creators endpoint takes a reference creator — by URL, username or ID — and returns ranked lookalikes with a similarity score, on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, Twitter and OnlyFans. Stack any discovery filter on top to keep the lookalikes inside your size band, market or niche, and get back full profiles with follower counts, engagement rates and verified contact data.
