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
  1. Click Analyze video, then switch to Creator mode.
  2. Pick the creator (or enter a public username) and set how many recent videos to pull (10–500).
  3. 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.
  4. 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_week and median_gap_hours: null when the sample has fewer than 3 videos.
  • top_days and top_hours_utc: the most common posting days and UTC hours, with counts.
  • median_views, hits and hit_rate: a hit is a video at 1.5 times the median views of the same list or more. hit_rate is null when there are fewer than 5 videos or the median is 0.
