The current version of the Social Media Handle Validator API focuses on real-time availability checks. Historical tracking features may be considered for future updates based on user feedback and evolving requirements.
The API returns data regarding the availability of a submitted social media handle across five platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube. Each response includes the handle's availability status and corresponding URLs for each platform.
The key fields in the response include "status" (HTTP status code), "success" (boolean indicating request success), "handle" (the submitted handle), and "social_media" (an array containing platform names, URLs, and availability status).
The response data is structured in a JSON format. The main object contains the overall status and success indicators, while the "social_media" array lists each platform's details, including name, URL, and availability.
The endpoint provides information on whether a specific social media handle is available or already claimed on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube, along with direct links to the handles on these platforms.
Users can customize their requests by submitting different social media handles to the API. Each request will return the availability status for the specific handle across the supported platforms.
The API sources its data directly from the respective social media platforms' APIs, ensuring that the information regarding handle availability is accurate and up-to-date.
Data accuracy is maintained through regular updates and checks against the latest API responses from Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube, ensuring that the handle availability reflects real-time status.
Typical use cases include verifying brand consistency before launching social media accounts, enhancing user onboarding experiences, and assisting marketers in planning campaigns by ensuring handle availability across platforms.

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.
