Sign up at creatorcrawl.com and copy your API key from the dashboard. You get 250 free credits, no card required.
Add an HTTP request module
In your automation platform, add an HTTP Request or Webhook module. Set the method to GET and enter the CreatorCrawl API URL for the endpoint you want.
Configure authentication
Add a custom header with the name x-api-key and your CreatorCrawl API key as the value. No OAuth or complex auth flows needed.
Map the response fields
The API returns JSON. Map the response fields to your next step: save to a spreadsheet, update a database, send a notification, or trigger another workflow.
Set your schedule
Configure the workflow to run on a schedule (hourly, daily, weekly) or trigger it manually. Each API call uses 1 credit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which automation platforms work with CreatorCrawl?
Any platform that supports HTTP request modules. This includes Make (Integromat), Zapier, n8n, Pipedream, Tray.io, Workato, and Power Automate.
Do I need to write code?
No. Use the visual HTTP request module in your automation platform. Just configure the URL, method, headers, and query parameters. The API returns JSON that your platform can parse automatically.
Can I send social media data to Google Sheets?
Yes. Pull data from the CreatorCrawl API with an HTTP request module, then use a Google Sheets module to append or update rows with the response data. Works for any supported platform.
How many credits does each automation run use?
Each API call in your workflow uses 1 credit. If your workflow calls 3 different endpoints per run, that uses 3 credits. Schedule accordingly based on your credit balance.
Can I monitor creators for new content automatically?
Yes. Set up a scheduled workflow that calls the profile videos endpoint and compares the latest video ID to the previous run. When a new video appears, trigger notifications, data exports, or other actions.
