> Creator profile discovery for TikTok and Instagram lands in the API and MCP server.

## New features

### Creator profile discovery for TikTok and Instagram

You can now hand Veedcrawl a username — no individual video URLs required — and get back a full snapshot of a creator's presence: bio, follower and following counts, total post count, and up to 24 recent posts with per-item engagement stats. This is the right starting point for any workflow that needs to explore a creator before deciding which videos to transcribe or analyze.

* **`GET /v1/tiktok/profile`** — returns author info, total video count, and recent videos with full engagement data. See the [TikTok profile reference](/api-reference/tiktok-profile).
* **`GET /v1/instagram/profile`** — returns verified status, real follower and following counts, and recent posts across video, image, and carousel types. Video posts include a direct `videoUrl` you can pipe into `/v1/transcript` or `/v1/extract`. See the [Instagram profile reference](/api-reference/instagram-profile).

Both endpoints are **free — 0 credits consumed**.

### `get_tiktok_profile` and `get_instagram_profile` MCP tools

The same discovery capability is now available in the [Veedcrawl MCP server](/mcp/overview). Agents can call `get_tiktok_profile` or `get_instagram_profile` with a username and chain the results into transcripts and extraction on their own — no human needs to supply URLs. See the [MCP tools reference](/mcp/tools) for parameters and examples, or the [AI agent workflows guide](/guides/ai-agent-workflows) for an end-to-end pattern.
