Sideshift UGC marketplace creator discovery: MCP pool search has no follower filter; Scraper API searches IG bio/caption

For finding <5K-follower IG creators by niche via an agent: Sideshift MCP find_creators_for_campaign searches only its opt-in, student-skewed pool with no follower filter (~250 results/query). The separate Sideshift Scraper API's instagram/profile-search returns handles plus follower_count from bio/caption keywords at $1.50 per 1K credits, but it is REST-only, not in the MCP.

Influencer discovery APIs/MCPs for nano (<5K) Instagram creators: index floors and silent audience-data gates (2026-11)

Modash, HypeAuditor, Heepsy, Influencity, ClickAnalytic, Influship state a 1K-follower index floor (InsightIQ 2K, Captiv8 5K); none index sub-1K. Audience demographics are gated: influencers.club audience filters only for IG 10k+; Modash /instagram/search defaults hasAudienceData=true, silently dropping nano accounts.
