Influesque

Quickstart

Make your first Influesque REST API call in under two minutes, from getting a key to reading a JSON response.

The Influesque REST API exposes the same creator, sponsor, and audience data as the app and the MCP server, over plain HTTP and JSON. This guide gets you from zero to a live response in a couple of minutes.

1. Get an API key

In the Influesque app, open Settings -> API & MCP, click Create key, and copy it. The key starts with ifsk_ and is shown only once. The same key works for both the REST API and the MCP server.

Keep your key secret

Treat the key like a password. Store it in an environment variable or a secret manager, never in source control. You can revoke a key at any time from the same page.

2. Make your first call

Send the key as a bearer token. This searches for travel creators in the Netherlands:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ifsk_your_key" \
  "https://platform.influesque.com/api/v1/creators?query=travel&country=NL"

You get back a page of creator summaries:

{
  "query": "travel",
  "page": 1,
  "totalFound": 128,
  "returned": 25,
  "hasMore": true,
  "nextPage": 2,
  "creators": [
    {
      "id": "sailingla",
      "name": "Sailing La Vagabonde",
      "handle": "@sailingla",
      "influesqueUrl": "https://platform.influesque.com/creators/1234",
      "country": "Netherlands",
      "language": "English",
      "verified": true,
      "primaryNiche": "Adventure & Travel",
      "topSponsors": ["NordVPN", "Audible"],
      "subscribers": 1580000,
      "avgViews": 420000,
      "engagementRate": 4.2
    }
  ]
}

3. Page through results

When hasMore is true, request the next page with the returned nextPage:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ifsk_your_key" \
  "https://platform.influesque.com/api/v1/creators?query=travel&country=NL&page=2"

Each page costs 1 credit. Listing niches and checking your balance are free.
