Connect official analytics or a public profile
Use a creator-authorized, read-only connection for the strongest available verification, with public-data profiles kept as a fallback.
Open Media kit settings
Go to Dashboard → Media kit and find Connected social accounts.
Choose the connection method
Creator Pro and Pro Plus can select Connect official analytics for Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. A public handle can still be added when an official connection is unavailable.
Authorize on the social platform
The platform—not VeroKit—shows the permission screen. VeroKit requests read-only analytics and identity access, never your password or permission to publish.
Check the source label
Official connections show OFFICIAL · VERIFIED OWNER. Public-data profiles show PUBLIC-DATA FALLBACK so visitors can distinguish the evidence source.
Refresh on demand
Official refreshes use the platform connection and zero public-data provider credits. Public-data fallback refreshes can spend provider credits.
Disconnect safely
Only the creator can disconnect an official account. VeroKit keeps the last verified snapshot in its internal archive, but it stops retrieving new official data.
Good to know
- • Official APIs expose different metrics and history by platform, account type, permission, and policy. Connecting an account improves provenance and freshness but cannot create data the platform does not expose.
