Frequently asked questions

Generate an API key in your Lolly account under API access — the full key (lly_live_…) is shown once, so store it securely. Send it on every request in the Authorization header as a Bearer token. Keys need the influencers:read and influencers:refresh scopes to call the lookup endpoint.

Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. Pass platform=instagram, tiktok or youtube together with a username to GET /api/public/v1/influencers/lookup. Results are cached per platform, so the same handle on different platforms never collides.

A Report lookup returns the full, enriched profile — audience demographics, engagement, posts and more — and resolves in about 70 seconds via polling. A Quick lookup returns a fast, lightweight snapshot in a single call (~5–12s, no polling). A Report costs 1 credit; a Quick costs 0.05 credit.

Credits are spent only on a definitive result — a returned profile (200) or a confirmed no-result (404). You are never charged while a lookup is still processing (202), when you are out of credits (402), or on an upstream error (502). Charges are idempotent per request, and unused credits roll over during your term.

Requests are throttled to 60 per minute per API key. Every response carries X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset headers; if you go over the limit you get a 429 with a Retry-After header telling you how long to wait.

An account that exists but sits below the ~900-follower threshold returns 404 not_influencer — distinct from not_found, which means the handle does not exist on the platform. Both are definitive results.
