Influencer vetting in Claude
One message instead of six tabs and a spreadsheet.
Vetting is the same four checks every time: is the audience real, is the account active, is the content a fit, and do the numbers match what the agency said. Doing it by hand means a tab per creator per platform. With KonbiniAPI connected, Claude runs those checks in the conversation and gives you the answer with the numbers attached.
- 1A KonbiniAPI accountThe free plan includes 100 credits, which is enough to run this a few times.
- 2Claude connectedOAuth. Remote custom connectors are in beta; free accounts are limited to one.
- 3A real targetA public account, post, or keyword to run it against — the placeholders below are not live values.
Run it.
Once Claude is connected, send one of these. The agent decides which KonbiniAPI tools to call and returns the result in its answer — each successful call costs the same credits as the matching REST call.

Is @[username] a fit for a campaign on Instagram? Check their follower count, recent posts, and bio.
Compare these three TikTok creators: @[a], @[b], @[c]. Who has the strongest recent engagement?
Does @[creator] post consistently? Show their last 10 videos with dates and view counts.
Check u/[username] on Reddit — how active are they, and in which communities?
Look up [name] on LinkedIn and summarize their role, company, and what they publish about.
Replace @[username] and [topic] before sending — they are placeholders, not live values.
