Outreach works when your list is defensible

Guessing handles from Google is slow. **Search users**, **top_writers/{tag}**, and **recommended_users/{tag}** give you ranked names with API-stable ids for CRM import.

Workflow

  1. Pick a tag aligned with your campaign
  2. Pull top_writers + recommended_users
  3. Enrich with get user (bio, followers)
  4. Export to HubSpot / Airtable with user_id in custom field

Filters

Combine follower counts from profile data with post frequency from user articles so you do not pitch inactive accounts.

Endpoints

  • /search/users?query=
  • /top_writers/{tag}
  • /recommended_users/{tag}
  • /user/{user_id}
