The Social Media Handle Insight API allows you to check the availability of usernames on a wide range of social media platforms, such as Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.
The Social Media Handle Insight API utilizes the HTTP GET method to retrieve information. You can make GET requests to the API endpoint with the desired username as a parameter to check its availability.
When a username is available on a platform, the API will return a positive response along with additional information such as the platform name and any other relevant details associated with the username.
No, one username per request.
The rate limits and usage quotas for the API depend on the specific terms and conditions set by the API provider. It is recommended to review the documentation or contact the API provider for information regarding rate limits and usage restrictions.
The "Check Username" endpoint returns a JSON object indicating the availability of a specified username across various platforms. The "Check" endpoint provides a list of social media platforms with URLs and availability status for the specified handle.
Key fields include "success" (indicating the request status), "username" or "handle" (the checked username), and platform-specific fields like "is_available" (true/false) and "url" (link to the profile).
The response data is structured in JSON format. It includes a top-level success indicator, followed by either a username availability status for multiple platforms or detailed availability for a specific handle, including URLs.
The primary parameter is the username or handle you wish to check. For the "Check" endpoint, you can specify the handle, while the "Check Username" endpoint requires the username and the desired social media platform.
Users can customize requests by specifying the desired username and selecting a particular social media platform for the "Check Username" endpoint. For the "Check" endpoint, users simply provide the handle to check across multiple platforms.
Typical use cases include user registration processes, social media management, brand protection, username generation, and influencer marketing, allowing users to ensure consistent branding across platforms.
Data accuracy is maintained through regular updates and checks against the latest platform statuses. The API continuously monitors social media platforms to ensure the information provided is current and reliable.
If a username is unavailable on all platforms, the API will return false for each platform. Users can implement logic to suggest alternative usernames or prompt users to try different variations based on the returned data.

To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
