search_creators

search_creators searches LinkDR’s imported creator graph. It does not hit YouTube live.

Use it when the user named a person, or when you want more channels than the ranking SERP showed.

Search YouTube creators for "presentation" and show name, followers, and email if we have one.

If you already have a watch URL from get_keyword_serp, get_contacts with that URL is the better first call.

Arguments

NameTypeRequired
qstring, 1–200 charactersYes

Match is substring on name, handle, and category. Broad queries return noisy rows.

email: null means the import does not have one. Say that.
