Modash alternative for plain follower data

Updated

Modash is built around a question Metrika cannot answer: which creators should we work with? Metrika is built around a question that does not need a discovery platform: what are the current public counts for this handle? They overlap on the word "followers" and diverge on everything else.

What Modash is built for

Modash is an influencer discovery and analytics platform for marketing teams. It indexes hundreds of millions of creator profiles so you can search by audience filters, evaluate creators, and monitor campaign content, with an API offering aimed at partners building on that database.

Where Metrika fits instead

Metrika assumes you already know which accounts you care about: your users typed them in, your CRM holds them, or they are simply your own brand handles. Send up to ten per call, mixing platforms freely across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, X, Threads, YouTube, and Bluesky, and get back the latest public follower count, following count, post count, and verified status we hold for each.

bash
$ curl -X POST https://metrika.run/api/v1/resources/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"resources": [{"platform": "tiktok", "type": "account", "identifier": "khaby.lame"}]}'

Nothing is scraped while you wait. We collect into a daily snapshot ahead of time and your request reads the latest value, stamped with collected_at. LinkedIn company pages work too, using the organization type.

When Modash is the better choice

When you do not yet know the handles. Searching creators by audience demographics, vetting engagement, tracking campaign posts: that is a discovery platform's job, and Metrika has no search, no database to browse, and no analytics beyond three public datapoints. Use Modash to find the creators, and, if it helps, Metrika to keep their counts flowing into your own product afterwards.
