HypeAuditor Platform Help
Helps the user with HypeAuditor platform questions — from influencer discovery and fraud detection through audience analysis, campaign management, and API usage.
Step 1 — Gather context
If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated knowledge.
Ask the user:
- What do you need help with?
- A) Finding influencers — Discovery search, filters, lookalikes - B) Analyzing a creator — audience quality, fraud detection, AQS score - C) Campaign management — tracking, content approval, payments - D) Market Analysis — competitor monitoring, industry benchmarks - E) My Network IRM — managing influencer relationships - F) API integration — Reports API, Discovery API, Campaign API - G) Ecommerce integration — Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento - H) Pricing and plan selection - I) Something else — describe it
- What's your current setup?
- A) New to HypeAuditor — evaluating or just signed up - B) Using HypeAuditor for discovery/analytics only - C) Using full platform (discovery + campaigns + IRM) - D) Integrating via API - E) Comparing HypeAuditor to other platforms
- What plan are you on?
- A) Basic ($299/mo) - B) PRO - C) Enterprise - D) Not sure / free trial - E) Evaluating — haven't signed up yet
If the user's request already provides most of this context, skip directly to the relevant step. Lead with your best-effort answer using reasonable assumptions (stated explicitly), then ask only the most critical 1-2 clarifying questions at the end.
Step 2 — Route or answer directly
If the request maps to a strategy skill, route:

Gotchas
*Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about plan-gated features and integration gotchas that may be outdated.*
- Advanced Discovery filters are plan-gated. The AI Search, Account Quality Score filter, and advanced audience parameters are only available on PRO and above. Basic plan gets limited filters — verify which filters you need before choosing a plan.
- Market Analysis is PRO+ only. Competitor monitoring and industry benchmarks require PRO or Enterprise. If competitive intelligence is a priority, factor this into plan selection.
- API is Enterprise-only and separately priced. Don't assume API access comes with your plan — it requires a separate agreement and additional cost.
- v1 API is deprecated. As of August 2024, v=1 is deprecated. Make sure any integration code uses v=2. If you're on an older integration, migrate before it breaks.
- Rate limit is 100 requests per minute. The API returns HTTP 429 if exceeded. Build in backoff logic for batch operations.
- Report processing is async. The API may return HTTP 202 with a
retryTtlfield — this means the report is still being generated. Poll after the retry interval. - Discovery results cap at 10,000. Regardless of how broad your search is, you'll get a maximum of 500 pages (20 results each). Use tighter filters to find the right creators rather than browsing all results.
- Ecommerce integrations vary in depth. Shopify has the deepest integration (product sync, gifting, sales attribution). WooCommerce and Magento are more limited — verify which features you need before relying on them.
- Gmail sync is one-way. Gmail integration syncs email communication into My Network IRM but may not support all email workflows. Verify the sync direction and limitations for your use case.
- Pricing increases over time. Multiple reviewers report annual price increases. Lock in pricing with longer-term contracts if budget predictability matters.
- Self-improving: If you discover something not covered here, append it to

Examples
Example 1: Find micro-influencers in a specific niche
User says: "I want to find beauty micro-influencers on Instagram in the US with high engagement" Skill does:
- Walks through Discovery search setup: keyword "beauty", platform Instagram, geo US
- Recommends filters: followers 10K-100K, engagement rate >3%, audience location US >60%
- Shows how to use AQS filter (PRO+) to automatically exclude low-quality accounts
- Explains how to save results to a list in My Network IRM
- Recommends vetting the shortlist with fraud detection reports Result: Targeted search strategy with filters optimized for micro-influencer quality
Example 2: Verify if an influencer has fake followers
User says: "A creator with 500K followers wants $5,000 for a post — how do I check if their audience is real?" Skill does:
- Shows how to pull the creator's Analytics Report (username search)
- Explains AQS score interpretation: what's good (>60), concerning (<40), deal-breaker (<25)
- Walks through fraud detection flags: bot %, suspicious growth patterns, engagement pod indicators
- Highlights audience demographics: are their followers in the right country/age range?
- Compares the $5,000 ask to benchmarks for their actual authentic reach Result: Data-driven decision on whether the creator's audience justifies the price
Example 3: Set up API integration for creator reports
User says: "I want to pull creator analytics into our internal dashboard via the HypeAuditor API" Skill does:
- Confirms Enterprise plan or API agreement is in place
- Walks through authentication setup: X-Auth-Id + X-Auth-Token headers
- Shows the Reports endpoint:
GET /auditor.report/?username={username} - Explains async processing (202 status + retryTtl) and how to handle it
- Covers rate limiting (100 req/min) and cursor-based pagination
- Points to the API reference for full endpoint documentation Result: Working API integration plan with auth, endpoints, and error handling
Troubleshooting
Discovery search returns irrelevant results
Symptom: Searching for "fitness" creators but getting unrelated accounts Cause: Keyword search is broad — it searches content, descriptions, and niches. Without additional filters, results include anyone who mentioned fitness once. Solution: Use niche_search instead of search for more targeted niche matching. Add audience demographic filters (location, age, gender) to narrow results. Use the AI Search feature (PRO+) for better semantic matching. Start with tight filters and expand gradually rather than casting a wide net.
API returning 402 (Insufficient Credits)
Symptom: API calls fail with 402 error Cause: Your API credit balance is depleted. Each report or discovery call consumes credits based on your agreement. Solution: Check restTokens in any successful API response to see remaining credits. Contact your account manager to purchase additional credits or upgrade your API agreement. Implement credit tracking in your integration to alert before running out.
Campaign ROI not matching ecommerce data
Symptom: HypeAuditor campaign metrics show different numbers than your Shopify/WooCommerce dashboard Cause: Attribution window differences, delayed data sync, or promo code usage not captured by the integration Solution: Verify the ecommerce integration is properly connected and syncing. Check that promo codes assigned to creators are correctly configured in both HypeAuditor and your ecommerce platform. Allow 24-48 hours for data to fully sync. For discrepancies, use the ecommerce platform as the source of truth for revenue and HypeAuditor for engagement and reach metrics.
