Famebit was an influencer-marketing marketplace, founded in 2013 and headquartered in Los Angeles, that connected YouTube, Instagram, and Vine creators with brands for sponsored branded-content campaigns. Backed by 500 Startups (500 Global), it was acquired by Google in October 2016, rebranded as "FameBit by YouTube," and later folded into YouTube BrandConnect. The standalone platform has been shut down and famebit.com now redirects to a Google/YouTube Help support page, so there is no live public API, developer portal, or documentation to enrich.
