Read one iQIYI video from its playback url, with title, category, duration, publish date, heat value, rating, series details, cast and uploader. Pass a single-video playback link; series pages and creator profiles are not supported, so use album to find a series.

Price $1.39 per 1,000 requests ($0.001389 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 iQIYI Video details endpoint (iqiyi/video).

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 iqiyi and action to video, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
  - url: Accepts a full iQIYI video playback URL (v_*.html format) for the video action. Series/album pages (a_*.html) and creator profile links are not supported; use the album action with keyword for series discovery.
- Optional parameters:
  - scrape_additional_info: Controls whether iQIYI search results include additional uploader and engagement information. Pass a JSON boolean; the default is true.
- Returns one object. Main fields: id, url, title, text, category, category_id, duration_seconds, duration_sec, heat_count, rating, rating_scale, rating_count; 30 fields in total, full list at https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social/catalog?platform=iqiyi.
- Example request body:
{
  "platform": "iqiyi",
  "action": "video",
  "params": {
    "url": "http://www.iqiyi.com/v_12vxqf0wkkw.html"
  }
}
- Price: $1.39 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.

Request parameters

NameInTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
AuthorizationheaderstringYes-Bearer followed by your API key. Create it in the console; never put it in a URL or a code repository.
platformbodystringYesiqiyiPlatform identifier, fixed value.
actionbodystringYesvideoCapability identifier, fixed value.
urlbody.paramsNot declaredYes-Accepts a full iQIYI video playback URL (v_*.html format) for the video action. Series/album pages (a_*.html) and creator profile links are not supported; use the album action with keyword for series discovery.
scrape_additional_infobody.paramsNot declaredNo-Controls whether iQIYI search results include additional uploader and engagement information. Pass a JSON boolean; the default is true. Setting it to false disables that extra lookup but does not change the EveryInfra API price.

Response example

Real response

Response fields

Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the platform does not show are never made up.

FieldMeaning
idThe record's unique ID on the platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms.
urlLink to the record on the platform.
titleTitle. null when the platform has no titles (for example text-only posts).
textBody text with HTML removed, returned in full and never cut short (on a few platforms the list results themselves carry only an excerpt; the platform's field notes say so).
categoryCategory name in the platform's own taxonomy, not normalized across platforms.
category_idKeeps the platform's own meaning
duration_secondsDuration in seconds. null for content that is not video or audio.
duration_secKeeps the platform's own meaning
heat_countKeeps the platform's own meaning
ratingRating. The scale varies by platform: rating_scale on the same row gives the maximum (usually 5; Booking, Douban, iQIYI and NAVER use 10). Convert with rating_scale before comparing across platforms, or the comparison can come out backwards.
rating_scaleMaximum of rating in the same row: 5 for five-star scales, 10 for ten-point scales. Present only when the row has a rating.
rating_countNumber of people who rated. null means not disclosed, not 0.
like_countLikes. null means the platform or this capability does not disclose it; it is not 0.
comment_countComments. null means not disclosed, not 0.
collect_countSaves or favorites. null means not disclosed, not 0.
album_idKeeps the platform's own meaning
album_titleKeeps the platform's own meaning
album_urlKeeps the platform's own meaning
album_episode_countKeeps the platform's own meaning
image_urlImage link. Capabilities with several images may return an image_urls array.
wide_image_urlKeeps the platform's own meaning
author_nameAuthor's display name.
author_idAuthor's unique ID on the platform.
author_avatar_urlKeeps the platform's own meaning
author_follower_countAuthor's follower count. null means not disclosed.
author_video_countKeeps the platform's own meaning
author_locationKeeps the platform's own meaning
author_orgKeeps the platform's own meaning
posted_atPublish time in ISO 8601, UTC (for example 2026-08-07T12:34:56+00:00). Non-standard strings from the platform are passed through as is, so parse defensively. null means the platform does not disclose it.
platformSource platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok).
castKeeps the platform's own meaning

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).
