# ClipStake API

> Track Instagram media, audience insights, and performance data with the ClipStake API.

Build creator analytics and media-tracking workflows on top of ClipStake. The
API uses predictable REST endpoints, JSON responses, and project-scoped API
keys.

## API reference

so request parameters, response schemas, and playground examples stay aligned
with the API.
