How-tos/Scrape a creator
Scrape a creator
Pull a creator's back catalogue in one job to spot what consistently works.
Updated Jun 14, 2026·3 min read
- Click Analyze video, then switch to Creator mode.
- Pick the creator (or enter a public username) and set how many recent videos to pull (10–500).
- Optionally open Advanced to set two view thresholds: Min views to store skips saving videos below that bar, and Min views to analyze stores lower-view videos as metadata only (no AI analysis), so your catalog focuses on what matters.
- Hit Scrape. Track progress in the Activity drawer.
Each video you scrape counts toward your catalog cap — your plan's total analyzed-video limit. The modal footer shows how many of your remaining catalog slots a scrape will use before you start.
Once a creator is scraped, fypnow keeps their metrics fresh automatically every day — you don't re-scrape to update views and likes.
Posting cadence and hit rate (API and MCP)
get_creator_report (GET /v1/creators/{id}/report) returns a posting block built from up to the 60 most recent videos of this creator that your workspace has analysed. Only analysed videos count, so a creator with few analyses gets a small sample and thin figures however often they post; use sample to judge how much to trust it.
sample: how many videos the cadence figures use.posts_last_30d: posts in the last 30 days.posts_per_weekandmedian_gap_hours: null when the sample has fewer than 3 videos.top_daysandtop_hours_utc: the most common posting days and UTC hours, with counts.median_views,hitsandhit_rate: a hit is a video at 1.5 times the median views of the same list or more.hit_rateis null when there are fewer than 5 videos or the median is 0.
