The Short Version
| Favy (Favikon MCP) | Favikon API |
What it's for | Find + do everything else | Analyze & organize |
Best for | Search, rank, filter, find lookalikes, track brand mentions | Enrich, sort, track, and measure creators you already know |
If you can't name the creator, the API can't help you. Every API call starts from something you already have — an Instagram handle, a LinkedIn URL, or a Favikon creator ID. There's no "search" built into the API: no topic, no country filter, no follower range, no "top 50 in beauty."
"Find me fitness creators in Germany" → Favy
"Enrich creator data, create and manage campaigns" → API
Where Each One Fits in Your Workflow
Step 0 – Find (not in the API) Use Favy or the Favikon interface to search, rank, filter, find lookalikes, or spot who's talking about a brand.
Step 1 – Enrich (API) POST /enrich — hand in a creator ID or handle, get the full profile out. Costs 3 credits per creator.
Step 2 – Organize (API) POST /lists/{id}/contacts — sort creators into lists. Free.
Step 3 – Track (API) POST /campaigns/{id}/creators — add creators to a campaign pipeline. Free.
Step 4 – Measure (API) GET /campaigns/{id}/analytics and GET /campaigns/{id}/posts — pull your campaign dashboard into your own tools. Free.
Good to Know
Access: Granted per user by a Favikon admin, via two independent switches — Enrich Access and Campaign & List Access. Available on any plan, including time-boxed trials.
Authentication: Uses a bearer token (
Authorization: Bearer fav_...). Generate it under Settings → Connections → API Access.Credits: Only enrichment costs credits — 3 per creator. It's free if you've already unlocked that creator in the last 30 days, whether via the dashboard or the API. Lists and campaigns are always free.
Rate limit: 20 requests per 2 seconds.
Bulk requests: Up to 100 items per request, with a per-item outcome (
added,already_in_list,not_found, etc.).Freshness: Lists and campaign rosters update in real time. Enrichment snapshots are frozen for 30 days, then expire — use
GET /creators/{id}if you need the live view.Enrichment is asynchronous: The
POST /enrichcall returns apendingstatus plus an ID. Poll the correspondingGETendpoint until it completes — email and audience data can take a few extra minutes to land, so keep polling the same URL.
