prism

One handle, unified author cards across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X (and more).

Looks up a single handle across multiple platforms in parallel and returns one unified author card per platform (followers, verified flag, bio, ids) with null for the platforms the handle isn't found on, plus combined follower totals and an any-verified flag. The default set is TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter; Threads, Bluesky, and Truth Social can be added via platforms. A handle existing on only some platforms is a successful, complete answer (the nulls are the product); only an all-platform miss refunds. Flat 5 credits for up to 4 platforms, +1 credit per extra platform. legs[] reports each platform leg's status, cost, and latency. A handle existing on a platform does not mean it is the same creator there: send verify=true to get an identity verdict per platform (same, possible, different) with the evidence, at the same price.

Query parameters

handlestring required

The handle to look up across every requested platform (a single leading @ is stripped).

platformsstring

CSV subset of tiktok,instagram,youtube,twitter,threads,bluesky,truthsocial (default the first four). Unknown platforms are ignored.

includestring

CSV subset of cards,totals to trim the payload (cards is always returned).

verifyboolean

Send true to add an identity block that says whether each found profile is the same person or organisation as the anchor profile, not only that the handle exists there. Each platform gets a verdict with level (same, possible, different, or uncertain when the answer is not confident), a score, a confidence and the evidence behind it (cross_link, bio_consistent, fan_or_parody, website_match). A null verdict means that profile was not judged, not that it is different. identity.verified_on lists the anchor plus every same platform. Public profile text only, no image comparison. Same price; adds well under a second.

anchor'tiktok' | 'instagram' | 'youtube' | 'twitter' | 'threads' | 'bluesky' | 'truthsocial'

With verify=true, the platform whose profile you already trust; every other found profile is compared against it. Omit it and the anchor is the platform-verified profile with the largest audience. If the chosen platform has no card in the response the anchor is picked automatically and _warnings says so.

Headers

Cache-Controlstring

Send no-cache to bypass the response cache and force a live fetch. Billed at the normal endpoint cost; the fresh result is written back to cache for the next caller. Only the no-cache directive triggers this. See the Response Schema guide for details.

Idempotency-Keystring

Optional UUID that makes the request safely retriable. The key is reserved atomically per account before billing. A concurrent retry receives 409 IDEMPOTENCY_IN_PROGRESS with a Retry-After of 1 second while the original is young, growing to a quarter of the time it has been running (at most 30); a crashed reservation expires after 5 minutes. A replay keeps the cached payload immutable except for billing metadata: credits_used becomes 0, idempotent_replay becomes true, and credits_remaining is refreshed to the current balance. A known current balance appears in both the body and X-Credits-Remaining header; no balance row resolves to 0. On a transient lookup failure, body credits_remaining is null and X-Credits-Remaining is omitted. Completed outcomes expire after 24 hours. If the claim store is unavailable, the request fails closed before billing. GET endpoints do not combine idempotent replay with Server-Sent Events: use Accept: application/json when sending this header. The unsupported key-plus-SSE combination is rejected before billing.

Response

Successful response

successboolean required

Whether the request succeeded

platformstring required

Platform name

endpointstring required

API endpoint path

credits_usedinteger required

Number of credits consumed

credits_remaininginteger nullable required

Current account balance, or null when this response could not establish one. Free cache hits always return null because they do not establish an authoritative post-request balance. An idempotency replay also returns null when its current-balance lookup fails. It is never a fabricated zero, so a zero here means the account really is empty. The authoritative reading is the one on a billed response, which comes straight from the deduction.

request_idstring required

Unique request identifier for support

cachedboolean required

Whether the response was served from cache

idempotent_replayboolean

True only when this response is an idempotency replay
