Talent API · programmatic access to the Contently network

Your talent network, inside the tools you already use.

Hire, brief, review, and approve work from 165,000+ vetted Contently creators inside your CMS, project tracker, AI agent, or internal portal. Same network as the managed Contently platform. No new UI for your team to learn. You pay one invoice; we hire, manage, and pay every contractor on the project.

How it shows up in your stack

One creator lifecycle. Three surfaces your team already works in.

The same hire → brief → review → pay loop, exposed as endpoints. Drop it into the CMS your editors live in. The project tracker your producers run. The finance tooling your ops team already audits.

01 · Inside your CMS or project tracker

Hire from a "request a Contently creator" button your team already sees.

GET /creatives ranks candidates by vertical depth, format, language, and verified-sample history. POST /projects opens an NDA-scoped workspace and pings the assigned creator. Your producers never leave the tool they were already in.

Draft · v2 · awaiting feedback

…regional banks adopting zero-trust architectures faced new pressures from the latest examiner guidance, which clarified…

Editor note · "tighten the framing. Lead with the guidance citation."
POST /reviews · revision requested
02 · Inside your editorial review flow

Give feedback where your editors already give feedback.

POST /reviews attaches inline notes to a draft. Threaded comments fire back over webhook. Revisions and version history stay in the doc tool your team already runs reviews in. Contently's managing editor stays in the loop on the back end.

03 · Inside your finance stack

Your finance team writes one check. To Contently.

You fund a content bank with Contently. We hire, manage, and pay every contractor on every project. Your team approves work with POST /projects/<id>/approve; we handle every payout, every contract, every contractor conversation. One vendor in your books. No 100-person freelancer roster for your team to keep up with.

MCP server

Let your AI agents hire and review humans, inside the tools they already run in.

The same lifecycle, exposed as MCP tools. Claude, ChatGPT, or your in-house agent can search the network, open a project, post review notes, and approve work without leaving the agent surface they're already running on. The agent runs the loop. A Contently managing editor still gates the work.

Endpoint surface

The whole creator lifecycle, on one contract.

REST first. JSON in, JSON out. Webhooks on every state change. OAuth2 with scoped tokens.

Hiring + managing + paying

Everything that comes with running 100+ contractors. On us.

Your team focuses on the work. Contently does the sourcing, the briefing, the chasing, the contracts, and the payouts. You see one vendor in your finance system, with one invoice. No 100-person freelancer roster on your team's books.

One vendor. One invoice.

You pay Contently, in your currency, on your billing cycle. We pay every contractor on the project, in their currency, on theirs. No multi-vendor onboarding. No 100 line items in your finance system.

Hiring + management included.

Sourcing, vetting, briefing, scheduling, managing-editor oversight. Contractors are Contently's people; the work product is yours. Your team never has to recruit, contract, or replace a freelancer.

Workspace governance.

OAuth2 with scoped tokens. Per-route rate limits. Encrypted PII. Every project workspace is NDA-scoped, with IP-assignment confirmation captured before publish.
