Configuring Filters for YouTube Advanced Search

This page lists the available filterKey options for the YouTube Advanced Search API, including the data types, examples, and notes on data sorting and availability. You can use multiple filterKey to narrow your search criteria to find the most relevant YouTube creators. By default, the API lists YouTube creator search results by their CreatorDB ranking score (ranking.score filter) in descending order.

Available `filterKey` and `sortBy` options

The table below lists the available filterKey options with the YouTube Advanced Search API. Each entry includes the expected data type and an example value and indicates whether the filterKey supports sorting or is only available for specific data APIs.

Column definitions:

Supports sorting

Indicates whether this field can also be used as a sortBy parameter. When the field is checkmarked, it supports sorting search results by that parameter in ascending or descending order.

The sorting behavior depends on the data type—— for example, strings are sorted alphabetically.

Returned only in youtubeDetail API

When this column is checkmarked, it indicates the field is only returned in the youtubeDetail API response.For example, when you use the mainLanguage filter to make an Advanced Search API call, it will return valid creator IDs. However, the mainLanguage field will only appear in the youtubeDetail API response and not in the youtubeBasic API response.

Filtering subscribers with a minimum value

By specifying greater than (> ) as the operation value, you can search for YouTube creators with a minimum number of subscribers. The following example will search the CreatorDB database for five creators with at least 100 subscribers and list their YouTube ID in descending order.

Using Content as a Filter in YouTube Advanced Search

CreatorDB provides two types of content categorization filters, topics and niches. Topics are a list of subjects compiled by CreatorDB’s proprietary system for categorizing a YouTube channel. While as niches are content keywords labeled by YouTube creators that are cleaned and aggregated by CreatorDB proprietary system to categorize the creator’s content type. You need the topics and niches IDs to look up a topic or niche name. To get a YouTube channel’s topics and niches IDs, call the Get the topic table API. For details, see the API Reference.

Filtering by `topic` with a single value

Use the = operator to find YouTube creators who match a certain topic. For example, the API request below finds five creators with the topic value id_roblox_Gaming and lists their YouTube IDs in descending order of subscribers.

Using the Target Audience as a Filter in YouTube Advanced Search

You can search for YouTube creators based on their target audience metrics. The following are available demographic filters:

demographic.mainCountry
demographic.avgAge
demographic.mainCountryRatio
demographic.genderFemaleRatio
demographic.genderMaleRatio
For details, see Configuring Filters for YouTube Advanced Search.

You will be charged 1 API credit for every 10 filter objects included in a single request. For example, 1–10 filters = 1 credit, 11–20 filters = 2 credits, and so on.

Filtering by audience country and female viewer ratio with single values

You can combine multiple demographic filters to limit the YouTube creator’s search scope to a specific target audience. For example, the API request below shows how you can find creators whose main audience is from the U.S. and has less than 40 percent of female viewers.

Using Multiple Filters in TikTok Advanced Search

You can use multiple filters to narrow TikTok advanced search results.

You will be charged 1 API credit for every 10 filter objects included in a single request. For example, 1–10 filters = 1 credit, 11–20 filters = 2 credits, and so on.

Filtering by `engageRate`, `avgShares`, and `avgLength` with single values

To apply multiple filters in your TikTok Advanced Search request, provide the corresponding filter parameters in the request body.

By default, CreatorDB lists search results by the sponsoring brand brandName in descending alphabetical order.

Filtering by `brandIgIds` using a single value

You can enter only one brandIgIds value per API request.

By using the equals operator (=), you can specify which brand data to retrieve from the CreatorDB database.

Using Multiple Filters in Brand Advanced Search

You can use multiple filters to narrow brand search results.

By default, CreatorDB lists search results by the sponsoring brand brandName in descending alphabetical order.
You will be charged 1 API credit for every 10 filter objects included in a single request. For example, 1–10 filters = 1 credit, 11–20 filters = 2 credits, and so on.

Filtering by `country` and `industries` using a single value

To apply multiple filters in your Brand Advanced Search request, include the corresponding filter parameters in the request body. For example, the API request below returns 5 brands in the U.S. fashion industry.
