# Search inspirations

`GET /v1/inspirations`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.taplio.com`
- URL: `https://api.taplio.com/v1/inspirations`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Search the viral-post inspiration index. All filters are optional. With none supplied the endpoint browses recent high-performing posts using default thresholds. The days-old window (`min_days_old`/`max_days_old`) and the absolute `from`/`to` window are mutually exclusive; if both are given, the days-old window wins and `from`/`to` are ignored.

## Query parameters

- `query` string
- `min_likes` integer, nullable
- `min_comments` integer, nullable
- `max_followers` integer
- `max_days_old` integer, nullable
- `min_days_old` integer, nullable
- `min_char_count` integer, nullable
- `from` string, nullable
- `to` string, nullable
- `lang` string
- `author` string: Only posts written by this member: their linkedin.com/in/ profile url or the handle after /in/. With it, min_likes and min_char_count default to 0 and max_followers to no cap, so a large creator is not filtered out of their own posts.
- `limit` integer
- `cursor` string
