Explore (/explore) is the public, SEO-indexable entry to the same creator inventory you see after sign-in. Logged-in users get the full masonry grid with search, saved flows, and template hand-off. This page documents the buyer-side discovery loop and the inline full-peek panel introduced in 2026.
Who Explore is for
- Fashion brands sourcing real creator poses for Virtual Try-On or Creators UGC photo sets.
- Social marketers who need a licensed reference identity instead of scraping Pinterest.
Typical flow
- Open /explore (or Explore in the sidebar when you are signed in).
- Use the search bar to narrow by creator name, mood, or garment category keywords surfaced in listing copy. Photo-set search runs when you press Enter — typing alone does not refilter the masonry grid.
- Click a card. Apiway opens an inline full-peek — a tall panel inserted in the grid with the hero frame, additional thumbnails, price in credits, and actions to jump into a template that accepts the listing.
- Click the same card again to collapse the peek, or pick another card to swap context without a full page reload. The interaction is designed so you do not lose your scroll position while comparing sets.
- When you are ready to generate, follow the Generate with this set (or equivalent) control inside the peek — it deep-links into the right Creative template with the listing pre-selected.
Explore vs a creator storefront URL
Every published creator also has a public storefront on the marketing host (pattern https://studio.apiway.ai/<nickname>) plus deep links for each listing (/<nickname>/photoshoot-idea/<itemRef>). Those URLs are ideal for sharing on Instagram or email. Explore is the in-product browse mode once you already have an account and want to compare many listings quickly.
