Find Behance creators by name or design focus, with company, location, followers, appreciations, views and whether they are open to hire. It matches user profiles, not projects or portfolio images.

Price $1.39 per 1,000 requests ($0.001389 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

AI prompt

Paste this into your AI assistant. It already holds this endpoint's parameters, response fields and an example request, so the assistant can ask what you need and then write the scraper.

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Behance Search endpoint (behance/search).

Endpoint contract:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to behance and action to search, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
  - keyword: Specifies search terms to query Behance creators or individuals by name or design focus. The search action returns matching user profiles rather than projects, creative works, or portfolio images.
- Optional parameters:
  - limit: The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 100. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge. (default: 20)
- Returns a list of records. Main fields of each record: user_id, username, name, url, avatar_url, company, location, country, follower_count, appreciation_count, view_count, available_for_hire; 13 fields in total, full list at https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social/catalog?platform=behance.
- Example request body:
{
  "platform": "behance",
  "action": "search",
  "params": {
    "keyword": "Alex"
  }
}
- Price: $1.39 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.

Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.

Response example

Real response

Captured September 26, 2026 at 08:56 (UTC) by calling this API with the parameters in the code sample above. results and count are that call's real response with personal information (names, handles, avatars, profile links, contact details) removed; the list keeps the first 2. id, billing and quota differ on every call, so only their shape is shown.

Response fields

Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the platform does not show are never made up.

FieldMeaning
user_idUser's unique ID on the platform.
usernameUsername (@handle).
nameName of the object itself, for account, product and business capabilities.
urlLink to the record on the platform.
avatar_urlAvatar image link. Some platforms return sized CDN links that can expire.
companyKeeps the platform's own meaning
locationLocation description passed through as is; the format varies by platform.
countryCountry or region: a full name or an ISO code depending on the platform, not normalized.
follower_countFollowers. null means not disclosed, not 0.
appreciation_countKeeps the platform's own meaning
view_countViews or plays. null means not disclosed, not 0.
available_for_hireKeeps the platform's own meaning
social_linksKeeps the platform's own meaning
platformSource platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok).

Errors and billing

401
Missing or invalid key. Authentication runs before parameter checks, so unauthenticated requests never see the parameter schema.
422
Wrong parameter name or value. The error lists the parameters and allowed values this capability accepts and the closest match; it happens before any charge.
402
Insufficient balance. Top up first.
429
The account's per-minute request limit was reached (all of its API keys count together; a key's own lower limit applies first). Wait for Retry-After and try again; a rate package in the console raises the limit.
503
Could not complete right now. Any charge for the call goes back to your balance automatically, and the billing receipt in the response states the actual outcome, including when it is not yet known. Do not resend blindly.
200 empty
The request completed without data and is not charged (billing.reason = empty_result_refunded).

  • Behance: Distinction Among Profile, Project, and Appreciation ↗

    Behance separates a user's Profile from a Project containing images, videos, and other media. Projects have independent links along with view and Appreciation counts. The `search` action here queries user profiles only and does not open access to Project content endpoints.
