Is Phyllo SOC 2 compliant?

Yes. Phyllo obtained SOC 2 compliance in May 2023, building on its earlier SOC 2 Type 1 attainment, so creator data sits behind audited security and privacy controls.

Which platforms does Phyllo support for audience demographics?

Audience Demographics covers YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, with Facebook added in May 2023. The data comes from creators who authenticate their accounts.

What audience data can you pull for a Facebook creator?

Location, gender, and age are available for authenticated Facebook accounts through Phyllo, the same granular audience fields it already returned for YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.

Do you need a creator to connect an account to get audience demographics?

Yes. Demographic data on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook comes from authenticated users, so a creator has to connect the account before location, gender, and age flow through.

What do hashtag and mention attributes in the Engagement API return?

The Engagement API retrieves the hashtags a creator uses and the accounts mentioned in a post, at scale, which is how you infer content themes, collaborations, and target audience.

Can I test Phyllo APIs before I integrate them?

Yes. Phyllo went live on the RapidAPI Hub in May 2023, so you can call the APIs in a sandbox environment and check real responses before writing any integration code.

What is the Phyllo Audience Sentiment API?

The Audience Sentiment API, announced for June 2023, analyzes comments on an influencer's posts and classifies them by relevance and meaningfulness, not just positive or negative tone.

What does Phyllo do?

Phyllo is social data infrastructure for the creator economy, with APIs that return audience demographics, engagement, and content data from networks like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.

Where can I see every data attribute Phyllo returns per platform?

Phyllo publishes a platform-wise data guide listing each attribute in the Engagement API and its other products, so you can check field coverage network by network before building.
