Which Social API

Modash review

The influencer database we’d tell most in-house teams to try first, with published prices and a trial that needs no card. Its API has the deepest filters and fraud data in the category, behind a $16,200-a-year door.

The short version

Pick it if

  • You’re an in-house ecommerce team working on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube
  • You want to see the price and try everything before talking to sales
  • You’re building creator search into a product and can commit to $16,200 a year

Skip it if

  • You need X, Twitch, LinkedIn or Snapchat
  • You’ll regularly hit monthly caps on opened profiles and email unlocks
  • You want API access monthly or pay as you go

Modash is a self-serve influencer platform for in-house teams: discovery, CRM, inbox, content tracking, Shopify gifting, affiliate management and creator payouts in one app. It says it indexes 380M+ public profiles with 1,000 or more followers across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and the search on top is the deepest in the category, with AI search, image search, lookalikes, audience filters on age, gender, location and language, and “influential fans” who already follow you.

It also explains how its numbers are made, which most rivals don’t, and it publishes prices for both the app and the API. The limits are the catch: monthly caps on profiles and emails in the app, and an API that starts at $16,200 a year with no monthly option.

Using Modash

Signing up

The app is self-serve: a 14-day trial with no card and every feature, limited to 20 profile views, 6 email unlocks and 10 tracked creators. Monthly plans have no contract. The API is bought separately, annually, by bank transfer, and testing credits come through a sales call.

Making a request

Authenticate with a Bearer token from the developer page in the Modash app. Search returns 15 results a page, and there are two free test calls: an Instagram search with empty filters and a report for @instagram. GET /account shows the credits and Raw requests you have left.

Documentation

OpenAPI-based docs at docs.modash.io, split into the Discovery API (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, AI search, collaborations, search by email) and the Raw API for live posts, reels, comments and follower changes. Rate limits are tight on the expensive calls, about 2 requests a second for reports and search, shared across every key on an account. API customers get a dedicated account manager.

Verdict

8.8

Modash is our pick for most in-house teams, and it leads our influencer database ranking. The app has published prices, a real trial and deep filters on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube; the API has the deepest vetting data behind any creator API we’ve reviewed, and ranks second only to Influship’s search. Look elsewhere if you need X or Twitch (HypeAuditor), want to spend less (Heepsy), or want API access without a $16,200 annual commitment (influencers.club or Influship).

How does Modash spot fake followers?

Modash or HypeAuditor?

Modash for most in-house teams: published prices, a no-card trial and an easier app. HypeAuditor if fraud checks are the main job or you need X and Twitch.
