  • create_account Create an account and get an API key with free credits. Needs a beta access code (access_code, HD-XXXX-XXXX; case and dashes do not matter): without one the error is 403 access_code_required, and a code that does not work is 403 invalid_access_code. Ask for a code with request_access, or
  • showcase Real hooks this service has delivered, for a wait screen: talking heads only, each hook_id, still_url (a JPEG, no key needed), platform, creator, views and line (the banner on the video, else its opening line). The most viewed first, one per creator, only what is already public on TikTok
  • find_hooks Start hook research on a topic across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts (Shorts only, never long-form YouTube; platform "youtube"). platforms (since 2026-10-10, any of "tiktok", "instagram", "youtube"; all three when left out) searches and delivers only those: ["instagram"] is Instagr
  • get_run A research run: its status, progress, charge and every hook it produced. wait_seconds 0 to 50: wait up to that long for the run to finish, returning the moment it is done or failed. Use wait_seconds=50 and call again while status is "queued" or "running"; a fresh run needs about 3 or 4
  • list_runs Your research runs, newest first, without their results, limit 1 to 100 (default 20) per page. Each run says its kind: "short" (find_hooks), "long" (find_long_hooks) or "packaging" (find_packaging); pass kind to list only one. Returns {"runs": [...], "next_cursor"}: pass next_cursor back
  • find_long_hooks Find long-form hooks: how the YouTube videos that beat their own channel open, on a topic. Long-form YouTube only, never Shorts, TikTok or Instagram (for those: find_hooks). What it does: searches YouTube for long-form videos on the topic, keeps only the outliers (a video whose views ar
  • find_packaging Find packaging: the titles and thumbnails that earned the click on a topic, from long-form YouTube videos that beat their own channel. What it does: runs the same outlier search as find_long_hooks (long-form YouTube, 2023 or later, views at least min_outlier times the channel's usual),
  • get_find One result of a long or packaging run with every field: the video, its numbers and the opening or the package analysis. find_id comes from a run's finds (get_run) or from list_kept_finds. Same shape as GET /v1/finds/{find_id}. Free. Errors: 404 find_not_found, 422 for an id that is not a
  • keep_find Keep or reject a find (a long-form hook or a package): verdict is "keep" (default) or "reject", and the last verdict wins. The verdict is the video's on that tab: every find of the same video you have there carries it, so a later run that finds the video again shows it already kept. Kept
  • clear_find_decision Undo keep_find: the video goes back to having no verdict, on every find of it, and leaves list_kept_finds. Returns {"find_id", "verdict": null}. Clearing a find with no decision is the same success, so a retry is safe. Same as DELETE /v1/finds/{find_id}/decision. Free.
  • list_finds The index: every video your long and packaging runs found, across all runs, one entry a video on each tab (its newest read, with the keep or reject made on the video). Each is a full find object: the title and thumbnail_url as YouTube shows them, views, channel_median_views, outlier (vie

From a long find, `written` holds openings: hook (what the creator says first), then (what the next half minute has to deliver) and kept_stru
  • list_remixes The remixes you paid for from one hook (hook_id) or one find (find_id), newest first, each as its answer held it, with remix_id and created_at. Returns {"remixes": [...]}. Free. 404 hook_not_found or find_not_found for one that is not yours. Same as GET /v1/hooks/{hook_id}/remixes and GE
  • get_remix One remix you paid for (from remix_hook, remix_find or a chat turn), as its answer held it. Free. 404 remix_not_found for one that is not yours. Same as GET /v1/remixes/{remix_id}.
  • list_kept_finds The videos you kept with keep_find (long-form hooks and packages), newest decision first: one entry a video on each tab across all runs, or the kept finds of one run_id, limit 1 to 100 (default 100) per page. Returns {"kept": [...], "count": n on this page, "next_cursor"} with full find
  • export_run A finished run's hooks as a file a creator can open: format "csv" (default; one row per hook, opens in any spreadsheet, formula-like cells defused with a leading quote), "json" (the full hook objects) or "md" (Markdown notes, one section per hook). Returns {"filename", "content_type", "
  • get_hook One hook with every field: its opening line, transcript, watch_url and the vertical player_url (null only for an unusable id or a photo post found before 2026-09-26; runs deliver single videos only). hook_id comes from get_run. Free.
  • embed_hook Official TikTok or Instagram embed HTML for a hook, so the clip plays inside your own page. kind is "embed", or "fallback" when the creator disabled embedding or the clip is a photo post found before 2026-09-26 (then show thumbnail, which falls back to the hook's still_url, and the trans
  • keep_hook Keep or reject a hook: verdict is "keep" (default) or "reject", and the last verdict wins. A reject may say why: reason is off_subject, weak_opening, wrong_language, low_quality, already_have or other, and note (up to 280 characters) your own words. Kept hooks come back from list_keeps,
  • clear_decision Undo keep_hook: the hook goes back to having no verdict, so it leaves list_keeps and its export row carries none. Returns {"hook_id", "verdict": null}. Clearing a hook with no decision is the same success, so a retry is safe. Same as DELETE /v1/hooks/{hook_id}/decision. Free. Errors: 404
  • remix_hook Make it mine: write up to n new opening lines (1 to 5, default 3) for your niche that keep a real hook's structure, the device that made it travel, with the subject swapped for yours. hook_id is one of your hooks (from get_run, get_hook or list_keeps); 404 hook_not_found otherwise. Leave
  • list_keeps The hooks you kept with keep_hook, newest decision first, across all runs or within one run_id, limit 1 to 100 (default 100) per page.

  • chat One conversational turn, for an agent relaying a person's words. It either asks ONE clarifying question (action "clarify"), answers about delivered hooks or the tool (action "answer", run null, no credits), or starts a research run (action "research", with the started run under "run"), e
  • list_conversations Your chat conversations, most recently active first, limit 1 to 100 (default 30) per page: conversation_id, title, created_at, updated_at, language, country and messages (the count).

  • revoke_key Revoke one of your API keys at once: key_id from list_keys, or "original" for the signup key.

  • approve_access_request Owner only: approve an access request. Makes a one-use code, marks the request approved and emails the code.
