Build on creator intelligence
REST API, webhooks, and API keys for programmatic access to VANTAGEVID's YouTube channel intelligence, hook generation, and SEO analysis.
Platform
API keys, REST and webhooks
VANTAGEVID is pre-launch — there is no live account system yet, so API keys and webhook delivery below describe what will be available once the product goes live. Join the waitlist to be notified when API access opens.
API Key Access
Create up to 10 active API keys from your account settings and send one in the X-API-Key header. A key is shown once, when you create it. API access is included on every plan.
Limits
Calls made with a key count against your plan’s monthly allowances, exactly like the same action in the app. Rate limits are per endpoint: the heaviest, such as channel scans, allow 5 requests a minute, and lighter ones allow more. Going over a limit returns HTTP 429.
REST API
JSON REST API covering: channel outlier scans, hook generation, SEO keyword analysis, channel statistics, and account usage.
Webhooks
Subscribe to account, subscription, payment and team events (for example subscription.created, payment.succeeded, team.member.added). Each delivery carries an HMAC-SHA256 signature in the X-Webhook-Signature header for verification, with automatic retry on failure.
SDK Roadmap
A TypeScript/Node.js SDK is planned post-launch. In the meantime, the REST API works with any HTTP client. Sample code is available for Node.js, Python, and cURL.
Quick start
Scan a channel in one request
// Scan a channel for outliers
const response = await fetch('https://api.vantagevid.io/api/v1/intelligence/outliers', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY',
},
body: JSON.stringify({ handle: '@yourchannel' }),
});
const data = await response.json();
// data.outliers — array of videos with outlier scores and performance ratiosFAQ
Developer FAQ
Does VANTAGEVID have a public API?
Yes. VANTAGEVID provides API keys for programmatic access to channel intelligence, hook generation and SEO features. You create keys in your account settings once your access opens. The API is included on every plan, and calls use the same monthly allowances as the app.
What webhook events does VANTAGEVID support?
VANTAGEVID supports nine webhook events: user.created, user.updated, user.deleted, subscription.created, subscription.updated, subscription.cancelled, payment.succeeded, payment.failed and team.member.added. Each delivery is signed with HMAC-SHA256 in the X-Webhook-Signature header (sha256=<hmac>), with automatic retries on failure.
What plan is required for API access?
None in particular: API keys and webhook endpoints are included on every plan. Calls draw from your plan’s monthly allowances (for example Creator’s 100 channel scans a month), so a higher plan gives the API more room, and the same shared monthly allowance and fair use apply as in the app. Each endpoint also has a rate limit per minute; the heaviest allow 5 requests a minute.
