Solutions

Three problems vlayer solves, which product each one uses, and where a developer starts.

Every reward pays out on a claim about a person: this account is mine, I left that comment, I bank with your competitor. Each solution below replaces the screenshot behind that claim with data taken from the platform itself.

Creator campaigns and partnerships

Who it is for: brands, agencies and creator marketplaces that pay creators for sponsored content.

A creator deal rests on two claims. The first is private: the handle is theirs and the audience is as large, and as local, as the media kit says. Only the creator can show you that, so they sign in through Vouch and prove it from their own account. The second is public: the sponsored post went live and performed. Nobody has to be asked for that, so the Social Data API reads it from the post.

The two products meet in your platform, which keeps the verified handle and decides the payout:

Vouch and the Social Data API have separate credentials and never call each other. Your platform stores the handle Vouch verified against your own ID for the creator, and uses that ID again when it looks the creator up.

What you use

  • Vouch data sources: account ownership, follower stats and audience demographics, before you sign the creator.
  • Social Data API data lookups: post metrics and comments on the sponsored post, and the creator's public profile, before you pay them.

Where a developer starts: the Vouch Quickstart, then Walkthrough: social & audience, which works through this exact check. For the public half, the Social Data API Quickstart.

Social engagement rewards

Who it is for: loyalty programmes, consumer brands and communities that reward members for commenting on or liking a post.

Today a member comments, takes a screenshot and uploads it, and someone on your team checks it by hand. The comment is already public, so nobody needs to upload anything. You ask the Social Data API who commented on the post, or who liked it on Instagram, and match the handles it returns against the handles your members gave you.

One data lookup reads the whole post, so a single call covers every member who engaged:

The rules stay yours: what counts as a qualifying comment, how many points it earns and when they are issued are all decided in your own reward logic.

When a reward is worth claiming someone else's handle for, have the member prove the handle is theirs with Vouch first, as in creator campaigns.

What you use

  • Social Data API data lookups: comments on Instagram and TikTok posts, Instagram likers, and post metrics to report on the campaign.

vlayer can also track each member's progress and notify your webhook when they qualify. That is engagement verification, available on request.

Where a developer starts: the Social Data API Quickstart, then Comments and Instagram likers.

Signup, switching and tenure bonuses

Who it is for: fintechs, exchanges, subscription services, marketplaces and telecoms that pay a bonus to win the right customer.

A switching offer is only worth paying to someone who really is a competitor's customer. A signup bonus sized by balance or trading activity is only safe if the number is real, and a status match only if the tenure is. All of that sits behind the user's login with another provider, where no API will show it to you.

With Vouch the user signs in to that provider themselves and proves the one fact you asked for:

You never see the user's credentials or the rest of their account; How Vouch works shows the flow. The result arrives at your webhook as structured data, so you check eligibility before you pay the bonus.

What you use

  • Vouch data sources for banking and finance (balances, transactions, trading volume), subscriptions, purchase history, account age, and utilities and telecom. Browse data sources lists every live one; talk to us about one that does not exist yet.

Where a developer starts: the Vouch Quickstart.
