**This file was generated by API Evangelist, not by Makrwatch.** It is an honest
description of a company that publishes no developer surface, written so an agent stops
looking rather than guesses. Provenance: generated 2026-08-12 from
`apis.yml` and the probe artifacts in this repository.

## API status

Makrwatch publishes **no public API**. There is no developer portal, no API reference,
no OpenAPI/AsyncAPI/GraphQL/Postman artifact, no SDK for a Makrwatch service, no MCP
server and no A2A agent card. Do not attempt to construct a Makrwatch API call — there
is no documented contract to call.

Hosts that exist but are not a public API:

- `api.makrwatch.com` — AWS API Gateway edge. Answers every path, including `/`, with
  HTTP 403 `{"message":"Forbidden"}`. Private backend for Makrwatch's own applications.
- `platform.makrwatch.com` — second API Gateway edge, same 403 behaviour.
- `creators.makrwatch.com` — Makrwatch Creators Platform, a private Next.js application.
  Its own `robots.txt` states "Creators Portal — private app, only profile pages are
  public" and disallows `/api`, `/auth`, `/offers`, `/payments`, `/settings` and
  `/submissions`. Honor it.
- `brands.makrwatch.com` — brands application. An SPA catch-all: it returns HTTP 200
  with the same HTML shell for **every** path, including `/openapi.json` and
  `/.well-known/agent-card.json`. Those 200s are not documents. Do not treat them as
  evidence of anything.

## Public pages

- [Homepage](https://makrwatch.com/): what representation looks like, headline metrics.
- [For creators](https://makrwatch.com/creators): sponsorship calendar, draft review,
  brand communications, payment tracking.
- [For brands](https://makrwatch.com/brands): creator vetting, data-backed pricing,
  case studies. Engagement is via a contact-sales form; no rates are published.
- [About](https://makrwatch.com/about-us)
- [Creator application](https://makrwatch.com/creator-application): the only self-serve
  entry point on the site.
- [Case studies](https://makrwatch.com/brands#case-studies): Bokksu, Skillshare, Wren.

## Support

- [Help center](https://makrwatch.zendesk.com/hc/en-us) — 108 articles in English,
  Spanish and Portuguese, covering the Creators Platform (login, accepting offers,
  submitting a video for review, changing a publication date) and the Tipalti payments
  portal (registration, tax forms W-9/W-8BEN/W-8BEN-E, payment methods and fees, payout
  timing). Entirely end-user support; contains no API or integration content.

## Open source

- [GitHub organization](https://github.com/themidgame) — display name "Makrwatch", eight
  public repositories, most last touched in 2016. Nothing here is a client for a
  Makrwatch API.
- [node-youtube-data-api-helper](https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-youtube-data-api-helper)
  — npm, v0.1.10, published 2016-01-21, Apache-2.0. A facade over Google's **YouTube**
  Data API v3, not over anything Makrwatch operates.

## Third-party systems in the Makrwatch workflow

Named in Makrwatch's own help center. These are the vendors' APIs, not Makrwatch's:

- Tipalti — creator payments portal, tax forms, payouts.
- Zendesk — help center.
- Webflow — marketing site.
