# Identify influencers

## Identify Influencers by Email (async)

 - [POST /v1/search/identify_influencers](https://docs.influencer-hero.com/ih_api/identify-influencers/identifyinfluencers.md): Identifies influencers based on email addresses. This can be used e.g. to identify influencers from your customer lists. This endpoint is asynchronous and will return a success message immediately. The influencers will be processed in the background and will appear in the "Your customers" tab of the influencer finder after a few minutes.

## Identify Influencer by Email (real-time)

 - [GET /v1/search/identify_influencers_real_time](https://docs.influencer-hero.com/ih_api/identify-influencers/identifyinfluencersrealtime.md): Identifies a single influencer based on their email address in real-time. 
Unlike the async endpoint, this returns the influencer data immediately if a match is found.
Please use the async endpoint for high-throughput use cases or when possible.
