The API employs a proprietary algorithm to make API calls to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube, checking the availability of the provided handle by analyzing responses from each platform.
The API delivers responses in a standardized JSON format, containing information on the availability of the handle on each social media platform, along with any relevant metadata.
The API is regularly updated to align with changes in the APIs of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube. Developers are encouraged to check the API documentation for version details and any updates related to social media platform changes.
Yes, the Handle Searcher API is designed to be versatile and can be seamlessly integrated into both web and mobile applications using standard HTTP requests. Sample code snippets and documentation are available to guide developers through the integration process.
The Handle Searcher API utilizes industry-standard authentication mechanisms such as API keys or OAuth tokens to secure access. Developers need to include the required credentials in their API requests to authenticate and access the service.
The API returns a JSON object containing the handle's availability status across five social media platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube. Each platform's response includes the platform name, URL, and a boolean indicating if the handle is available.
The key fields in the response include "status" (HTTP status code), "success" (boolean indicating request success), "handle" (the queried handle), and "social_media" (an array of objects with "name," "url," and "is_available" for each platform).
The response data is structured as a JSON object. It begins with a status and success flag, followed by the queried handle. The "social_media" field contains an array of objects, each detailing the platform name, URL, and availability status.
The API provides information on the existence of a social media handle across multiple platforms, including the handle's availability status and direct links to the respective social media profiles.
Users can customize their requests by specifying the social media handle they wish to check. The API does not currently support additional parameters for filtering or modifying the search criteria.
The Handle Searcher API retrieves data directly from the social media platforms' APIs, ensuring that the information is current and accurate based on the platforms' responses.
Data accuracy is maintained through regular updates and checks against the latest responses from social media platforms. The API is designed to reflect real-time availability based on the platforms' current data.
Typical use cases include brand identity protection, social media marketing campaign planning, user onboarding processes, influencer collaboration vetting, and personal branding strategy development.

To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs.

But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
