Parameters
Do NOT set category: people — that returns LinkedIn profiles, not creators. Results are profile and post URLs on the platform (instagram.com/<handle>/p/…); take the handle from the URL, dedupe on it. This is the SEMANTIC shape of creator discovery: it follows meaning (niche, brand mentions, city) but cannot enforce follower ranges or engagement. The STRUCTURED shape is influencersclub.creators.search (follower/engagement/location/language filters, audience data). Best results come from running both and merging on handle — on the LessieAI people-search-bench influencer track (2026-08-27) Exa rows qualified 100% and influencers.club rows 63%, and the union scored 55 vs 38 for either alone.
