Show HN: Hoodl.net – Find and Vet Top X Influencers in Seconds with PageRank
hoodl.net
I've been grinding on influencer marketing pains for too long—agencies charging a fortune for unvetted spreadsheets, or worse, weeks lost doomscrolling X for creators who ghost or underdeliver. So I built HOODL.NET: an algorithmic engine that continuously scrapes and indexes verified X accounts (5k+ followers baseline), pre-computes influence scores via PageRank on retweet networks, and serves ranked top nodes in your niche on demand. No more guesswork; just signal from the noise.
*Quick Demo Flow:* - Ask a question in natural language (like "tennis influencers ranked by PageRank"). - We tap our live index and surface authority-ranked results using pre-baked scores from retweet flows. - Output: Ranked lists with contact details, ready for outreach.
Finding lots of good influencers fast lets you test them with a low-cost post and double down only if they prove ROI for your product (some creators shine for one niche but flop in another). Testing everything fast and cheap is a killer strategy.
*Tiers for Every Stack:* - *Instant Data ($29/mo):* DIY terminal access to our Model Context Protocol (MCP) API—rate-limited (1/sec) token auth for bots, or chat via hosted LibreChat UI. Export CSVs of 50k+ follower hits instantly. (Pro tip: Our query gen is LLM-smart, so "find crypto VCs" just works.) - *Golden List ($499/report):* Curated top-100 PDF/CSV, niche-specific, with a sales funnel playbook. Escrow-secured delivery. - *Done For You ($5k+/mo):* Full agency mode—we outreach, negotiate, manage posts, and report CPA. Milestone unlocks.
Tech under the hood: Perpetual scraper feeding a graph DB for real-time-ish freshness, fast MCP server for connected clients, on-demand "queen code" terminals accessed via hosted LibreChat for non-devs.
It's vertical-agnostic too—I'm templating the codebase for sale (update via Claude for your DB + niche). Reach out if interested.
