Find up to three Douyin products currently sold in live streams for a keyword, with SKU, title, CNY price, shop and live room ID. The room ID reflects this search only and does not attribute past live sales.

Price $0.56 per 1,000 requests ($0.000556 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

AI prompt

Paste this into your AI assistant. It already holds this endpoint's parameters, response fields and an example request, so the assistant can ask what you need and then write the scraper.

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Douyin Live product search endpoint (douyin/live_product_search).

Endpoint contract:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to douyin and action to live_product_search, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
  - keyword: A Douyin Mall product search phrase. Only products that carry a live tag and a live room ID at the time of the request come back; the results are not a record of what any given creator has sold on live streams.
- Optional parameters:
  - limit: The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 3. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge. (default: 3)
- Returns a list of records. Main fields of each record: product_id (Stable Douyin Mall product ID), sku_id, title, image_url, price_cny (Displayed product price in yuan), shop_id (Douyin Mall shop ID), live_room_id, is_live_product, source_keyword (The search term this row matched).
- Example request body:
{
  "platform": "douyin",
  "action": "live_product_search",
  "params": {
    "keyword": "美食"
  }
}
- Price: $0.56 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.

Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.

There is no real sample for these example parameters yet: this shows the response shape and fields from the contract, with … as placeholders. It is not the result of a real call.

Errors and billing

401
Missing or invalid key. Authentication runs before parameter checks, so unauthenticated requests never see the parameter schema.
422
Wrong parameter name or value. The error lists the parameters and allowed values this capability accepts and the closest match; it happens before any charge.
402
Insufficient balance. Top up first.
429
The account's per-minute request limit was reached (all of its API keys count together; a key's own lower limit applies first). Wait for Retry-After and try again; a rate package in the console raises the limit.
503
Could not complete right now. Any charge for the call goes back to your balance automatically, and the billing receipt in the response states the actual outcome, including when it is not yet known. Do not resend blindly.
200 empty
The request completed without data and is not charged (billing.reason = empty_result_refunded).
