admin_adjust_creditsOwner only: add or remove an account's credits, as POST
/v1/admin/accounts/{account_id}/credits. A change that would take the balance below
zero is 422 credits_below_zero and nothing changes; an unknown account is 404
account_not_found. Every change is audited (admin_list_actions). Returns {account_id,
credits, delta}. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
admin_list_accountsOwner only: every account, newest first, as GET /v1/admin/accounts: {total,
accounts: [{id, email, name, label, credits, created_at, last_seen_at, runs, hooks,
charged_total, is_admin, admitted_by, keys_active}]}. Free. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
admin_list_actionsOwner only: the audit of password sign-ins and credit changes, newest first, as GET

admin_list_runsOwner only: every account's research runs, newest first, as GET /v1/admin/runs:
{runs: [{run_id, account_id, email, topic, language, country, status, requested,
hooks, reserved, charged, failure_kind, error, created_at, finished_at}]}. Free. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
admin_overviewOwner only: the whole service at a glance, as GET /v1/admin/overview. Counts of
accounts and people; runs (total, last_24h, last_7d, failed_24h, in_flight); hooks;
credits (charged_24h, charged_7d, charged_total, balance_total); access
(pending_requests, active_codes, redemptions); search (credits_left, low,
accepting_runs; null when not read yet); and the running commit. Needs the admin scope
and an admin account (403 admin_required otherwise). Free. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
approve_access_requestOwner only: approve an access request. Makes a one-use code, marks the request
approved and emails the code. The code is in this result once, with emailed true or
false; when false, send it yourself or approve again (the unused code is revoked and
a new one sent). 409 request_already_decided once its code was used. Free. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
balanceYour account and remaining credits right now: account_id, credits, key_prefix and
key_id of the key making this call, label, created_at, and that key's scopes,
credit_limit and expires_at, and user (the person signed in with Google, or null).
Same shape as GET /v1/me. A
run needs at least 40 credits and reserves up to 200. For spend, credits held by
in-flight runs and daily history, call usage. Free. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
channel_outliersA channel's own outliers (scope own), or outliers for a channel like it from other
channels in the shared index (scope niche, 3x and over by default). Free. Same as
GET /v1/channels/{ref}/outliers. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
chatOne 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"), exactly like POST /v1/chat.
Every response has suggestions: 0 to 4 follow-ups, [] for research.
A deck size typed into the message ("..., 15 hooks") and a recency phrase ("this
month", "last week") set the run's count and posted_within_days; the count argument
sets the deck size when the message states none. Asked to make one of
the conversation's hooks yours for a niche ("make hook 2 mine for dentists"), the turn
writes lines from that hook's structure (1 credit, like remix_hook) and answers them
labelled, the full result under "remix".
language and country select the search locale: omitted or null keeps the current
conversation setting; a value sets it for this and later turns; an empty string
clears it to any language / any country. The picker wins over the message's locale;
replies stay in the language the person writes in. Invalid locale: 422 invalid_request.
message is 1 to 4000 characters. Pass conversation_id from an earlier turn to keep
the context; leave it out to start a conversation. Cost: a turn itself is free but is
a model call, so turns are limited per account per hour (429 rate_limited); a turn
that starts a run reserves credits like find_hooks. Next step: on "research", call
get_run with run.run_id and wait_seconds=50. Errors: 503 model_unavailable when the
model is down (nothing charged, try again), 402 insufficient_credits. For direct
research without the question step, call find_hooks instead. Needs the write
permission, and research for a turn that starts a run (403 insufficient_scope, nothing
reserved). | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
clean_recordingThe talking-head cleaner (15 credits), like 1of10's AutoCut: silences tightened, retakes, false starts, stutters and fillers cut with a reason on every cut, other microphones or cameras synced to the first, as Premiere XML, FCPXML and a CMX 3600 EDL. Takes 1 to 4 file_id values staged with POST /v1/clean/files (a chat cannot send the file itself). Runs as a job; get_call reads it. Same as POST /v1/clean. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
clear_decisionUndo 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 hook_not_found, 422 for an id that is
not a UUID. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
clear_find_decisionUndo 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. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
clone_trackerCopy a public or shared tracker into a private one of yours. Same as POST
/v1/trackers/{tracker_id}/clone. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
close_pollEnd your poll now: no more votes, the votes so far kept with its results. Free. Same as
POST /v1/polls/{poll_id}/close. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
comment_insightsWhat a subject's audience asks and struggles with: the top comments of its outliers
(videos that beat their own channel; or your video_ids, or a channel's best uploads),
grouped into questions, pain points and requests. clusters: label, kind (question,
pain_point, request, other), count (comments in the group, counted in code, never by the
model), likes, videos, and quotes: two real comments found word for word, each with its
link (url opens the comment). videos: what was read, with views, multiple (views over the
channel's usual), comments_read and comments_off. basis says what the counts are from.
Costs 3 credits, refunded when the read fails; a request naming nothing or two things is
422 and costs nothing. Takes about 60 to 100 seconds (measured 2026-10-26). Same as POST
/v1/comments/insights. Read it back with get_call. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
create_access_codeOwner only: make an access code to hand out. max_uses 1 to 100000 (default 1),
expires_in_days 1 to 365 (optional), note your own. email binds it to one person: then
only Google sign-in with that verified email redeems it, never the API or MCP; leave
it out for a code that works on every door. The code is in this result only. Free. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
create_accountCreate 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 at hookdetector.com/access. No key needed for
this call. label is an optional note up to 120 characters.
Keep the api_key it returns: it is the only copy. Send it as the header
'Authorization: Bearer hd_...' or pass it as api_key on every other tool. Signups,
and wrong codes, are limited per address per hour. Next step: find_hooks.
| Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
create_agentAn agent that runs a Video Review on each new long upload of a tracker's channels,
inside a monthly credit budget. Same as POST /v1/agents. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
create_alertSave a search checked daily or weekly; a new video at your line (default 3x its
channel) is a hit, emailed, with a Monday digest. 1 credit a check. Same as
POST /v1/alerts. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
create_folderMake a named folder on one tab to file hooks or finds in. The same name again on
that tab (case and spaces aside) returns the folder already there with created false,
so a retry never makes two. At most 200 folders an account (409
folder_limit_reached). Returns the folder: folder_id, kind, name, item_count, cover,
shared, share_url, created. Same as POST /v1/folders. Free. Next: save_to_folder. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
create_keyCreate another API key on your account, for example one per agent or machine, so
you can revoke one without touching the others. name is up to 60 characters.
Give the key only what it needs. scopes: any of "read" (read runs, hooks, keeps,
usage), "write" (keep, reject, undo, chat), "research" (start runs, which spend
credits), "admin" (manage keys, delete the account); all four when left out. An agent
that finds hooks needs ["read", "write", "research"]. credit_limit: the most credits
runs started with this key may spend over its life, 1 to 100000 (a run then reserves
at most what is left). expires_in_days: 1 to 365; the key then stops working (401
key_expired).
The new key is in this result once and never again: store it now. Needs admin. An
account holds at most 10 active keys (409 beyond) and may create 20 per hour by
default (429 beyond). Free.
Next step: use the returned api_key; revoke old ones with revoke_key.
| Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
create_pollPut 2 to 4 packages to Hook Detector's users, who pick the one they would click, blind.
Closes at votes_wanted or after 7 days. 2 credits, given back when a picture cannot be
stored. Results with get_poll. Same as POST /v1/polls. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
create_teamCreate a team this account owns, funding its pool from your balance with credits
(402 when you hold less). Members' spending comes from the pool; you keep spending your
own balance. 409 already_in_team. Needs admin. Free. Same as POST /v1/team. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
create_trackerMake a tracker of up to 50 channels: hourly reads of their newest uploads, alerts when
one reaches the multiple (default 3x its channel) or views per hour, in the app and by
email. 1 credit a tracked channel a day. Same as POST /v1/trackers. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
create_webhookPost every new tracker alert and saved-search hit to your https URL, signed with the
secret this returns once (X-HD-Signature). Same as POST /v1/webhooks. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
daily_ideasYour daily idea sets (turn them on per saved search or tracker with daily_ideas), each
idea with the real finds behind it, none repeated within a week. Same as
GET /v1/ideas/daily. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
delete_accountErase your account and everything in it, for good: every API key, run, hook, keep
or reject decision, conversation and message. Unspent credits go with it. It cannot
be undone.
confirm must be exactly "delete my account", or nothing happens (422
confirmation_required). Refused with 409 run_in_flight while a run is queued or
running: wait for it with get_run first. Returns {"deleted": true, "account_id",
"erased": {counts per kind}, "message"}. Every key of the account stops working at
once; create_account starts a new one. Same as DELETE /v1/account. Free. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
delete_agentDelete one of your agents. Same as DELETE /v1/agents/{agent_id}. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
delete_alertDelete a saved search. Same as DELETE /v1/alerts/{alert_id}. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
delete_folderDelete a folder, its items and its share link at once (the link stops working). The
hooks and finds in it, and their keeps, stay. Returns {"folder_id", "deleted": true}.
Same as DELETE /v1/folders/{folder_id}. Free. Errors: 404 folder_not_found. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
delete_pollDelete your poll, its votes and its pictures. Free. Same as DELETE /v1/polls/{poll_id}. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |

edit_thumbnailEdit one thumbnail (an image of your thumbnails call, or a picture you send): op erase,
edit, face_swap, text, text_variations, upscale, fix, crop or color. crop and color are
free; upscale 12; the rest 4 (a version each for text_variations), charged only for what
is delivered. Answers at once; read it with get_thumbnails. Same as POST /v1/thumbnails/edit. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
embed_hookOfficial 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 transcript). For a plain vertical iframe use the hook's
player_url instead. Free. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
export_runA 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", "format", "content"}, where content is the whole
file as text: write it to filename. The same bytes as GET
/v1/runs/{run_id}/export?format=... . Free.
Errors: 404 run_not_found, 409 run_not_finished while the run is queued or running
(call get_run with wait_seconds=50 first), 422 invalid_request for another format. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
find_hooksStart 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 Instagram reels only.
What it does: searches both platforms, reads what each clip says and shows, and
returns ranked hooks. Each hook has its verbatim opening line, most quotable line,
main idea, why it travelled, topic, on-screen text, full transcript, a watch link and
a vertical player_url (9:16 iframe).
Talking heads only (since 2026-09-29): `hooks` holds only clips where a person on
camera is talking (talking head, podcast, interview). A clip where nobody talks is
dropped; Bonus was removed on 2026-10-08 and `bonus` is always []. Every hook carries
format (talking_head, podcast, interview, stage; null on older hooks) and section
(always "main"). A run that finds fewer talking heads than count says so in outcome;
it never fills hooks with clips that do not talk.
Where it comes from (since 2026-09-30): every hook has creator_country (ISO alpha-2
of the creator's TikTok account; always null on Instagram, which states none), place
(the place the creator tagged, or null) and place_country (that place's country when
the platform states it). Never guessed.
Banner (since 2026-09-30): every hook has banner, the title-style text the creator
placed on the video to hook the viewer, verbatim (at most 200 characters), or null
when it has none; subtitles are never a banner. onscreen_text keeps all text read.
Match (since 2026-09-30, runs with a language or country): every hook has match,
"exact" when the clip is about the subject itself or "close" when it is about a
neighbouring subject with the same intent (a close match, delivered after every exact
match; label it as one); null on runs with no langua | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
find_long_hooksFind 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 are at least min_outlier times the median views of its
own channel's recent uploads; 2 by default) posted in 2023 or later (nothing older is
ever delivered), reads the first intro_seconds (60 by default) of each one's
transcript, and says why that opening holds a viewer.
What comes back: the run's `finds`, ranked, strongest outlier first. Each has title,
channel, watch_url, player_url (an iframe src), thumbnail_url, views,
channel_median_views, outlier (28.2 means 28 times the channel's usual), outlier_score
(0 to 100 on one fixed scale: nothing else a run found moves it, so finds from
different runs rank together), outlier_tier, channel_size, likes_per_1k, posted_at,
duration_s, and the opening: intro (the first minute as it was said: lines of n, t in
seconds, text) and intro_text, always whole; and inside it the hook (verbatim: the lines
the analysis marks as the hook, ending on a sentence end, at most 25 seconds and 60
words, with hook_words, hook_start_s and hook_end_s, a sponsor read or greeting at the
front left out; hook_seconds is hook_end_s). auto_captions says the opening has almost
no punctuation. about_subject is yes or partly: a video the model judges not to be
about the subject is dropped. The analysis: hook_type (the same list as find_hooks),
mechanism (why it holds, quoting the opening word for word), promise, open_loop,
title_link (how the first lines pay off the title), beats (the opening in parts: from,
to, beat, does),
opens_with (cold_open, greeting, teaser, question, sponsor), format (the kind of
video), angle, template (the hook as a fill-in structure), steal_it and audie | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
find_packagingFind 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), then looks at
each video's thumbnail beside its title and says what the pair is doing.
What comes back: the run's `finds`, ranked. Each is a real package, as YouTube shows
it: title (verbatim) and thumbnail_url (the size YouTube really served, the picture
the analysis looked at; thumbnail_checked says so), channel, watch_url, views,
channel_median_views, outlier, outlier_score (0 to 100 on one fixed scale, so finds
from different runs rank together), outlier_tier, channel_size and posted_at, plus the analysis: title_device (curiosity_gap, contrarian_claim,
specific_number, how_to, listicle, challenge, story, question, warning, comparison,
authority, timeliness, identity_callout, other), title_template (the title as a
fill-in structure), thumbnail_text (the words printed on the thumbnail, read by a vision
model; null when none), thumbnail_text_role (repeats_title, adds_to_title,
contrasts_title, no_text; counted from title_overlap, the share of the thumbnail's words
that are also in the title, where that can be), thumbnail_subject, thumbnail_faces,
thumbnail_emotion,
thumbnail_colors, thumbnail_composition, thumbnail_devices, angle, gap (what the picture shows that the title does not say, and the
question that leaves), promise, steal_it and audience, visible_action (the single thing
happening in the picture), title_carries and picture_adds (what only the title says,
what only the picture adds), text_box, and thumb_metrics (measured in code from the
pixels: palette, brightness, contrast, saturation, busyness, the biggest words' height
at 210 px wide and whether the length corner is clear), plus cut | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
find_similarThe videos in the shared index nearest one of your finds (find_id from a Packaging or
Long form run), nearest first, never the find's own video. Each has distance (0 is the
same; measures says how it is computed), its numbers and its multiple over its
channel's median. A find not indexed yet is matched by its own words (matched_from).
Free. Same as GET /v1/finds/{find_id}/similar. Errors: 404 find_not_found. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
find_sponsorsWho sponsors the channels on a subject: in the descriptions of its outliers, sponsor
lines, promo codes and offer links found in code, plus Scrape Creators' sponsor read of
videos YouTube marks as paid promotion, each named by one model read and kept only when
the brand's name is in its own line. sponsors: brand, kind (sponsor, affiliate, other),
channel_count and video_count (counted in code), channels, and videos with the evidence
line as written, the code and the link. Costs 1 credit, refunded when the read fails.

get_conversationOne chat conversation: its newest messages in order (role, content, run_id,
created_at), a page of `limit`, with earlier_cursor for the older ones (null when the
page reaches the first message), and the runs those messages hold, with their hooks,
plus nullable language and country search picker settings. Same shape as GET

remix_findMake it mine, for a long-form opening or a package: write up to n (1 to 5, default
3) new ones for your niche that keep one real find's structure. From a long find,
`written` holds openings: hook (what the creator says first), then (what the next half
minute has to deliver) and kept_structure, built on the find's template and its order
of beats. From a packaging find it holds packages: title, thumbnail (what to show and
how to frame it), thumbnail_text (the words to print, or null) and kept_structure,
built on its title template and its thumbnail's composition.
Write my intro: with mode "intro" and video_brief (your own video in a few sentences,
10 to 600 characters; a long find only, a packaging find is 422; niche and n are not
used) it writes YOUR intro in the real opening's structure. `written` then holds one
object with a beat for each beat of the real opening, in order: beat, does, from_s,
to_s, seconds and words_budget (the real opening's own timing, never the model's), say
(the words to say, with {placeholders} for what only you know), words, placeholders,
suggested_on_screen and suggested_broll (suggestions, never part of what is said); and
seconds, timing (measured or estimated), kept_structure, placeholders and
numbers_to_placeholders. The answer carries mode "intro" and video_brief, and niche is
null. A number you did not write in video_brief becomes {number}. One that copies the
real opening or runs over a word budget is 422 remix_not_possible.
Returns {"find_id", "kind", "niche", "n", "written", "label", "credits_charged": 1,
"credits"}. label says they were written by Hook Detector from a real opening's (or
package's) structure: show it with them, never present one as a real video's. One that

export. Costs 1 credit per call, taken before the model is asked and refunded when it

remix_hookMake 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 mode out: "intro" (Write my intro) is
remix_find on a long-form find, and is 422 here, before any charge.
Returns {"hook_id", "niche", "n", "written": [{"line", "kept_structure"}], "label",
"credits_charged": 1, "credits"}. label is always
"Written by Hook Detector from a real hook's structure":
these are written lines, never found hooks; show the label
with them, never present one as a real clip's hook. They are never added to a deck, a
keep or an export. Costs 1 credit per call, taken before the model is asked and
refunded when it does not answer (503 model_unavailable) or when nothing it wrote
keeps the rules or it declines the content (422 remix_not_possible, the reason in the
message; another try or another niche may work). 402 insufficient_credits at
a balance of 0; limited per account per hour (429 rate_limited). Needs the research

revoke_keyRevoke one of your API keys at once: key_id from list_keys, or "original" for the
signup key. Any key may revoke itself (the result says so, and that key stops working
immediately); revoking another needs admin. Never the last active key on the account

save_to_folderFile one video in a folder of its tab: a find (find_id) or any public YouTube video

score_packageScore a package against the real outliers on its subject, part by part (title device,
length, words on the picture, faces, the words' role, contrast, brightness): each part
says how many outliers it matches; pattern_match (0 to 100) is the mean share: how much

opens signed out (hookdetector.com/f/<token>); api_url is the same as JSON
(get_shared_folder). It shows the folder's name, description and items with their
notes, never anything about the account. A shared folder keeps its link. Same as
POST /v1/folders/{folder_id}/share. Free. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
share_runShare a finished Short form run as a public, read-only page anyone can open with the
link, no sign-in: each hook's spoken line, on-screen words, idea, plays, creator and its
video, in the Hook Detector skill page layout. Nothing about the account is on it.
Returns {"run_id", "token", "url"}; give the person the url
(https://hookdetector.com/p/<token>). Idempotent: a run keeps one link, so calling again
returns the same url. The same body as POST /v1/runs/{run_id}/share; the page's data is
GET /v1/shared/{token}, no key needed. Needs the write scope. Free.
Errors: 404 run_not_found, 409 run_not_finished while the run works (call get_run with
wait_seconds=50 first), 409 run_not_shareable for a failed run or a Long form or
Packaging run, 422 invalid_request for a malformed run_id. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
showcaseReal 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 or Instagram: never a topic, an account or a run.
No key needed. Cached 10 minutes. Free. REST: GET /v1/showcase?n=12.

similar_channelsChannels in the shared index closest to this one by the meaning of their titles, else
by shared words, with a similarity 0 to 1. Free. Same as GET /v1/channels/{ref}/similar. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
start_jobStart a background job on Hook Detector's job runner. Only echo can be started by
hand: it waits `seconds` and answers `message` back with how many attempts it took (a
job survives a deploy). At most 3 an hour per account. Free. Same as POST /v1/jobs;
read it back with get_job. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
swipe_fileYour swipe file: the title structures of the Packaging finds you kept or filed, each
title_template with its title_device, count (how many of those videos use it, one a
video) and best (the example with the highest outlier_score, 0 to 100). The most used
first; packages is how many videos were read, skipped how many had no structure. Same
as GET /v1/swipe. Free. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
test_webhookSend one signed test delivery now and read what your URL answered. Same as
POST /v1/webhooks/{webhook_id}/test. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
thumbnail_attentionWhere the eye is predicted to land on a thumbnail: the picture with a heatmap over it (PNG,
base64), a 16 by 9 grid, the peak, the share in each third, the concentration and the share in
YouTube's length corner. UNISAL (AUC 0.895 on MIT1003): faces draw it strongly, printed words
less than people read them; a prediction, not a click-through rate. Free. Same as POST
/v1/thumbnails/attention. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
tracker_alertsYour tracker alerts, newest first, with the unread count. Free. Same as GET
/v1/trackers/alerts. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |

/v1/trackers/{tracker_id}/feed. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
trending_shortsTrending Shorts: the short videos (TikToks, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts) rising
now on a subject, fastest first. Each item has video_id, platform, url, cover_url,
creator, caption, plays, posted_at, age_hours, plays_per_hour (plays over the hours
since posting, at least one), multiple and multiple_basis (plays over the creator's
usual: the median of their latest videos, or TikTok likes per video; null when it could
not be measured), creator_usual, duration_s, and spoken_hook with spoken_hook_from (the
opening line when one of your own Short form runs delivered the video, or Scribe v3
heard it). At most 20 items, 2 per creator; a video with no post date is never listed.
unavailable names a platform whose search did not answer. Free (credits_charged 0); the
same subject, platform and window within 30 minutes is served from the cache, and fresh
fetches are limited per account per hour (429 rate_limited). 503 search_unavailable
when no platform answered. Needs read. Same as GET /v1/shorts/trending. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
unshare_folderTurn a folder's share link off: the old link stops working at once; share_folder
again makes a new one. Same as DELETE /v1/folders/{folder_id}/share. Free. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
update_agentChange an agent's name or monthly budget, or pause it. Same as PATCH /v1/agents/{agent_id}. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
update_alertChange a saved search: its words, line, frequency or email. Same as PATCH
/v1/alerts/{alert_id}. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
update_trackerRename a tracker, share it, change its alert lines, or turn its daily ideas on. Same as
PATCH /v1/trackers/{tracker_id}. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
usageYour credits and what you have spent: credits (balance now), spent_total,
reserved_now (credits held by runs still in flight, refunded in part when they
finish), runs_total, last_30_days (one entry per UTC day: date, runs, charged) and
recent (your 20 newest runs). Same shape as GET /v1/usage. Free. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
video_badgesBadges for up to 50 YouTube videos at once, as the Chrome extension shows them on every
card: views, the multiple over the channel's usual views (long against long uploads, Shorts
against Shorts) with its band, and views per hour with its basis. Ids with no badge are in
unread with why. Free. Same as GET /v1/videos/badges. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
video_scorecardEverything the index knows about one video: the multiple, views per hour and its
history, real tags, title and thumbnail changes, our reads, similar videos. Free. Same as
GET /v1/videos/{video_id}/scorecard. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
video_statsA video's views per hour and its history from the shared index (new, rising and
tracked videos read hourly, the rest daily); a video the index lacks is read now. Free.
Same as GET /v1/videos/{video_id}/stats. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
view_team_inviteWhat an invite joins, before accepting: the team's name, who invited you, its seats,
when the link expires, and whether you are signed in with the invited email (null for an
account with no email). Free. Same as GET /v1/team/invites/{token}. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
vote_pollVote on a poll with the slot you picked, and an optional reason. One vote an account, never
on your own or your team's poll. Answers the shares so far. Free. Same as POST
/v1/polls/{poll_id}/vote. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
webhook_deliveriesA webhook's deliveries, newest first, with status and your URL's answers. Same as
GET /v1/webhooks/{webhook_id}/deliveries. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
write_hookHook Creator (1 credit): an opening for your subject as beats with seconds counted from their words and a shot plan per line (said, shown, on screen, sound, delivery), labelled as written. Same as POST /v1/openings. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
write_ideasWrite ideas for new videos: each a title, a thumbnail concept (one visible action)
and the words to print, built on one to three real outliers (based_on, each with its
video_id, title, multiple, find_id and bend niche when it came from another niche).
constraints are rules every idea keeps (said in fits). band (10x, 5x, 2x) is the median
multiple of the finds behind the idea, never a predicted view count. label: written by
Hook Detector. 1 credit, refunded when the writing fails; fewer than 5 outliers known is
422 too_few_outliers and costs nothing. Same as POST /v1/ideas; remix_find makes one
find yours. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
write_scriptScript Writer (10 credits): hooks, the plan's sections with re-hooks and payoffs, the script, its runtime counted from its words, machine-sounding lines flagged, a fact-check list, Markdown. Runs as a job (get_call reads it). Same as POST /v1/scripts. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
write_titlesWrite 20 to 40 titles for your video, each borrowing the device and structure of one
real outlier (a video that beat its own channel): the finds of one of your runs, or the
shared index's videos nearest your topic by meaning. Each title: title, chars, first_40
(what a phone feed surely shows), device, borrows, and from (the real outlier: video_id,
title, channel, multiple, find_id). best: the five whose outlier beat its channel the
most among the devices the outliers share (best_basis says so; never a predicted
click-through rate). label: written by Hook Detector, never a real video's title.
Costs 1 credit, refunded when the writing fails; fewer than 5 outliers known is 422
too_few_outliers and costs nothing (run find_packaging on the topic first). Same as POST
/v1/titles. Read it back with get_call. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
write_upload_packThe upload pack (1 credit) for a long find or your video: a description with chapters that pass YouTube's rules, tags and hashtags. Runs as a job. Same as POST /v1/seo. | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared | Not declared |
