Autocomplete Search

Fast typeahead search for creators by name or username. Optimized for search-as-you-type UIs with sub-100ms response times.

Matching behavior:

• Matches against creator name, username, and display name
• Results include which field matched and the matching value
• Prefix matching (e.g., “fit” matches “fitness_coach”)

Scope options:

• creator_only: Return only the creator entity
• matched_platforms: Return only profiles that matched the query
• all_platforms: Return all linked profiles (default)

Also callable as the autocomplete_creators MCP tool — see the MCP server guide for setup.

Pricing: 0.05 credits per request ($0.0005)
