# Use cases

Six things people build with the API. Each page shows how it works, a real request and response, and what goes wrong without it.

## [Creator payouts](https://openhandle.dev/use-cases/creator-payouts.md)

Pay creators per view on numbers you can defend. Get live view counts with a timestamp on every answer. Hidden counts stay hidden, so you never pay on a made-up zero.

For teams like Whop, Pearpop, Collabstr, #paid, GRIN.

## [Influencer vetting](https://openhandle.dev/use-cases/influencer-vetting.md)

Sign creators on the platform’s numbers, not their media kit. Check profiles, recent posts, and engagement using platform data. Hidden numbers stay hidden instead of becoming zero.

For teams like GRIN, Aspire, Upfluence, Modash, CreatorIQ.

## [UGC galleries](https://openhandle.dev/use-cases/ugc.md)

Collect what people post about your brand, and put it on your site. Watch hashtags and mentions across Instagram and TikTok. Publish approved posts with media links that never expire.

For teams like TINT, Yotpo, Bazaarvoice, Flowbox, Foursixty.

## [Creator analytics](https://openhandle.dev/use-cases/creator-analytics.md)

Growth dashboards on data that stays consistent. A snapshot a day for every account you track, IDs that stay the same when someone renames, and a timestamp on every data point.

For teams like Beacons, Linktree, Kajabi, Stan, Fourthwall.

## [Social listening](https://openhandle.dev/use-cases/social-listening.md)

Every public conversation, in one shape, ready for analysis. Get public comments and replies from Instagram, TikTok, and X in one shape, ready for analysis.

## [Brand monitoring](https://openhandle.dev/use-cases/brand-monitoring.md)

Watch your accounts, your competitors, and the comments under both. Daily sweeps from cache, live reads when something is going on, and a clear answer when a post disappears.
