The Creator API is for creators who submit many clips. Your own tools can list your campaigns and accounts, submit clips, and follow the clips you submitted. ClipStake turns the API on for your account and chooses the campaigns that your API key can submit to. A new account can submit to no campaigns.

Quickstart

Connect your accounts and submit your first clip.

Authentication

Create, send and revoke API keys.

​
What you can do

​
Base URL

​
IDs

Each ID starts with a prefix that names its resource. An ID that your API key cannot use returns 404. This includes a campaign that ClipStake did not open to your key, an account that is not yours and an ID with the wrong prefix.

​
Rules that still apply

The API runs the same checks as the ClipStake app. A campaign refuses a clip when, for example:
  • The campaign is not live.
  • The campaign is invite-only and you did not accept the invite. Accept it in the ClipStake app.
  • The post was published before the campaign started, or outside its time limit.
  • The campaign pays by viewer country and Instagram did not report the countries of your account’s viewers.
  • You reached the number of clips the campaign allows.
A refused clip returns 422 submission_refused. The message tells you why.

​
Money

  • Amounts are integers in US cents. For example, 42500 is $425.00.
  • Rates are what you earn for 1,000 views, before the platform fee.
  • platform_fee_bps on a campaign is its platform fee, in basis points. 1500 is 15%. A campaign keeps the same fee for its whole life.
  • paid_cents on a clip is what ClipStake paid to you for it so far, after the fee.
