Content Research Agents

Get an agent’s creator outliers

Creators who significantly outperform their follower count within the agent’s corpus. With order_by=rising, rows are ranked by true run-over-run velocity and carry additive growth_followers / growth_views / growth_video_count / local_video_count fields; on an agent without two snapshots yet, rising transparently falls back to the weighted-outlier ranking. follower_tier and category filter the rows in-process. Each row carries an author_id — pass it as :creator_id to GET /v1/agents/:id/creators/:creator_id/similar to find adjacent creators.

Query parameters

limitnumber
Example:50

Maximum number of items to return. Values above 100 are clamped to 100 rather than rejected.

pagenumber
Example:1

Page number for pagination

order_by'outlier_ratio' | 'avg_views' | 'follower_count' | 'weighted_score' | 'rising'
Example:outlier_ratio

Field to sort by. rising (Phase 3) ranks creators by true run-over-run velocity (follower/view growth in the niche) using per-run snapshots; on a young Comet with sparse snapshots it transparently falls back to the weighted outlier ranking.

sort'asc' | 'desc'
Example:desc

Sort direction

platform'youtube' | 'tiktok' | 'instagram'

Filter by platform

follower_tier'nano' | 'micro' | 'mid' | 'macro'

Phase 3: filter to creators in a follower tier. nano (<10K), micro (10K–100K), mid (100K–1M), macro (>1M).

categorystring

Phase 3: case-insensitive substring filter on a creator's matching/creator topics (e.g. "house" within an electronic-music genre Comet).
