About Creator Discovery Lab

Creator Discovery Lab helps brands and agencies find TikTok creators by market, language, category, and performance signals — with explicit DataSource provenance on every field.

This product is separate from Creator Social Finder (cross-platform identity matching). We do not infer attributes from appearance, name, ethnicity, or religion, and we do not use facial recognition.

Reliable broad discovery

Keyword and niche search uses public web indexes. Without an API key those engines can rate-limit or challenge shared hosting IPs. Exact @username lookups skip web search and verify the TikTok profile directly.

For consistent niche coverage, add a free Brave Search API key at Admin → Settings (or set WEB_SEARCH_API_KEY / BRAVE_API_KEY). Sign up at api-dashboard.search.brave.com.
