How to discover creator listings in Explore using inline full-peek

Explore is Apiway's masonry feed of published creator photo sets and avatars. This guide walks a signed-in buyer through search, opening the inline full-peek panel to compare frames and per-generation pricing without losing scroll position, and jumping into Virtual Try-On, Styled Photoset, or Creators UGC photo sets with the listing already selected.

What you need

  • Apiway account
  • Optional: garment assets ready for try-on workflows

Steps

  1. Open Explore

    From the authenticated app open Creative Studio and switch to the Explore tab (or start from the public /explore page and sign in when prompted). You land on the masonry grid of published listings.

    Open in Apiway

  2. Search or scroll the grid

    Enter keywords from listing titles or descriptions, then press Enter to run the search — typing alone does not refilter the grid. You can also open filters for category, gender, and a 5–999 credit price range, then click Apply. Scroll to scan the lazy-loaded cover previews.

  3. Click a listing card to open full-peek

    Clicking a card inserts an inline full-peek panel directly in the grid. The panel shows the hero frame, a filmstrip of additional frames, the creator pool + buyer price in credits, and CTA buttons that deep-link into compatible Creative templates.

  4. Compare multiple listings quickly

    Click another card to swap the peek payload; click the active card again to collapse the panel. Because the interaction stays on one page, you keep your scroll anchor while auditioning several creators.

  5. Hand off to a template

    From the peek, choose the workflow you need (for example Virtual Try-On or Styled Photoset). Apiway opens the template with the listing reference pre-wired so you only upload garments and confirm generation settings.

    Open in Apiway

  6. Save the listing for later (optional)

    Use the Save (bookmark) control in the peek footer to keep a shortlist of photo sets you want to reuse across campaigns. Saved listings stay in your account for quick access from other templates.

Common mistakes

  • Expecting Explore to work logged out for full generation

    The public /explore page showcases inventory, but running generations still requires an authenticated session with credits. Sign in first, then reopen Explore from the sidebar.

  • Closing the peek with a navigation click that loses context

    Use the peek's own close control or toggle the same card — avoid hitting the browser back button unless you intentionally want to leave Explore.

Troubleshooting

  • Why does search return zero results?

    First press Enter after typing; search does not run on every keystroke. Then try broader keywords or clear applied category, gender, and price filters. Only published listings appear.

  • Does full-peek work on phones?

    Yes. The peek switches to a responsive small-screen layout. Scroll within the page to reach frames and actions; landscape orientation can provide more horizontal room for thumbnails.
