Makrwatch

aid: makrwatch
name: Makrwatch
description: 'Makrwatch is a creator representation and sponsorship management platform that sits between independent content
  creators and brands. It sources and filters brand-deal opportunities, negotiates terms and rates, protects creator IP and
  creative freedom, and handles the administrative work of briefs, timelines, revisions, invoicing, and payment tracking so
  creators can focus on producing content. Founded out of Y Combinator (W15) and based in New York City, the platform reports
  $27M+ distributed to creators across 34,000+ sponsorships for 7,400+ creators operating in 118 countries. The company was
  founded in 2013 as themidgame and still operates its GitHub organization under that name. Makrwatch does not publish a public
  developer API or documentation surface at this time: there is no developer portal, API reference, OpenAPI, SDK, MCP server
  or agent card anywhere on its public surface, and its two AWS API Gateway hosts (api.makrwatch.com and platform.makrwatch.com)
  are private backends for its own Creators and Brands applications, answering every unauthenticated request with HTTP 403.'

  detail: 'Makrwatch ships software only as an end-user product: a six-page Webflow marketing site with no developer, API
    or integrations route, a private Next.js Creators Platform whose own robots.txt calls it a "private app" and disallows
    /api, and two AWS API Gateway hosts (api.makrwatch.com, platform.makrwatch.com) that answer every unauthenticated path
    with HTTP 403 {"message":"Forbidden"} — there is no developer program to gate, and the 108-article Zendesk help center
    is entirely creator payment and video-review support with no API content.'
