Find creators in your niche

This cookbook finds the creators in your niche and comes back with a shortlist your client can interrogate. You don’t run it; your agent does.

Run it

Paste this to your agent, filled in:

Fetch https://tryklint.ai/cookbooks/find-creators.md and execute the
cookbook it contains with my context:

- niche or brief: [who you need, e.g. professional dog groomers who show
  their own grooming work on camera]
- audience band: [follower range, e.g. 5,000 to 100,000]
- location: [optional, e.g. US]
- candidates: [optional: handles you already have; the cookbook vets them
  instead of discovering new ones]

The URL carries everything your agent needs. Everything below this line addresses the agent executing it.

Context for the agent

Klint is the social context API: it searches and extracts Instagram posts and accounts, returned with transcripts, on-screen text, and creative structure already analyzed. Base URL https://api.tryklint.ai. Every request needs Authorization: Bearer $KLINT_API_KEY; never print or echo the key. This page is the source of truth for this procedure; work from the fetched copy, not memory. The full documentation index is at https://tryklint.ai/llms.txt, and the whole API contract is at https://tryklint.ai/for-agents/coding-agents.md. Last updated July 18, 2026.

Inputs

Verify you have all of these before calling the API. If any are missing, ask your operator; don’t guess.

Input	What it is	Required	Source
`niche or brief`	The niche to search, or who the campaign needs, as plain language	yes	operator
`audience band`	Follower range for candidates	no; default 5,000 to 100,000	operator
`location`	Declared-location constraint	no	operator
`candidates`	Existing handles to vet instead of discovering	no	operator
`KLINT_API_KEY`	API key	yes	operator’s environment

Objectives

Produce exactly one artifact: a shortlist of five to ten creators, each with a dossier in the Output format below, every claim backed by post IDs from your own calls. Nothing else counts as done.

Procedure

Discover candidates

Skip this step if the operator supplied candidates. Otherwise discover them with POST https://api.tryklint.ai/v1/instagram/accounts/search. The account query qualifies on current identity: the profile presented and the content actually published. The posts block demands recent proof, so nobody qualifies on a bio keyword alone.

{
  "account": {
    "query": "[the brief, as identity: e.g. professional dog groomers who demonstrate their own grooming work on camera]",
    "filters": {
      "followers_count": { "gte": 5000, "lte": 100000 },
      "declared_locations": { "contains_any": [{ "country_code": "US" }] }
    },
    "posts": {
      "minimum_matching_posts": 3,
      "filters": {
        "posted_at": { "gte": "[90 days ago, RFC 3339]" }
      }
    }
  },
  "limit": 20
}

Drop the declared_locations filter if the operator gave no location. Accounts that never declared one can’t match it; don’t treat that as disqualifying on its own.

Pull each candidate's recent record

Per candidate, a handle-scoped sweep. Filters-only searches may sort; sort and query never appear together.

{
  "post": {
    "filters": {
      "posted_at": { "gte": "[90 days ago]" }
    },
    "author": {
      "filters": { "handle": { "in": ["[candidate handle]"] } }
    }
  },
  "sort": { "by": "posted_at", "order": "desc" },
  "limit": 20
}

Note cadence, format mix, and the share of posts matching the brief’s territory.

Check observed brand work

The same handle scope with "has_paid_partnership_label": true added to the post filters. This returns posts Instagram labeled as paid partnerships. It misses deals without the label; say “observed brand work,” never “all brand work.” Extract the labeled posts to see partners, offers, and how the creator builds sponsored content.

Extract the qualification evidence

For each shortlisted creator, GET https://api.tryklint.ai/v1/instagram/posts/{id} on the two or three posts that best prove the brief’s requirements. These are the receipts the dossier cites.

Verify before you report

Check against the Objectives: every creator has qualification evidence with post IDs, a recent-record summary, and a brand-work note. Flags stay flags; you never issue a fraud or authenticity verdict. If fewer than five creators qualify, report the thin result. Offer to widen the band or relax the brief; don’t pad.

Output format

Use exactly this structure, one block per creator:

# Shortlist: [brief], [date]

## @[handle], [follower count]
- Why they qualify: [one sentence tied to the brief] (posts: [IDs])
- Recent record: [cadence, formats, share of posts on-brief]
- Observed brand work: [partners and frequency, or "none observed in window"]
- Worth a human look: [anything odd, or "nothing flagged"]

## @[handle] ...

## Scope
Searched [brief] at [band], [location]. [Substitutions, thin results, or
tracking caveats worth knowing.]

Boundaries

Qualification rests on the public published record. Audience demographics, story metrics, and rates are not public observations; don’t estimate them.
No fraud verdicts. Surface things worth a human look; never stamp an account fake or authentic.
Absence is bounded by what Klint tracks. A creator with no observed brand work may simply predate tracking; the Scope section says so.
