Query Parameters

​
include
string[]

Optional expansions to include in the response.

The same include options are available on GET /v1/creators (lookup by URL) and GET /v1/creators/{creator_id} (lookup by Upriver creator ID).

Include values and what each adds:

  • engagement_metrics: Recent per-channel engagement performance (average views, likes, comments, engagement rate). Returned as channels[].engagement_metrics.
  • video_metrics: Per-channel upload cadence and duration-based inventory signals over a trailing 12-week window (YouTube). Returned as channels[].video_metrics.
  • relative_metrics: Per-channel public benchmark summaries compared with similar creators. Returned as channels[].relative_metrics.
  • bio: Creator summary and key context. Returned as top-level bio.
  • audience: Directional audience demographics (age, gender, geography). Returned as top-level audience.
  • brand_safety: Brand safety advisories with citations. Returned as top-level brand_safety.
  • email: Public contact email addresses the creator has published for business inquiries, gathered across their linked channels. Returned as top-level emails.
  • creator_id: Backward-compatible no-op; creator_id is always returned.

Format:

  • Repeat params: ?include=engagement_metrics&include=bio
  • CSV: ?include=engagement_metrics,bio
