What does each Kuaishou action accept?

Each answer below pairs one callable action with its real inputs. Parameter meanings and allowed values are action-specific; a familiar name does not carry the same meaning across every platform.

Official sources are linked only to clarify the platform term beside them. They do not imply platform authorization or endorsement, and they do not add official-site features to the EveryInfra API contract.

Kuaishou: Differences Between Kuaishou ID and Kuaishou UID — Official Kuaishou documentation separates Kuaishou account IDs from Kuaishou UIDs and details where to find them on profile pages. User search results here must similarly distinguish username, nickname, and user_id, rather than displaying nicknames in place of user IDs. · Checked

What do the Kuaishou user_posts parameters mean?

Pull videos from a Kuaishou account by user ID or profile link in user_id, with views, likes, comments, shares, duration, cover and transcript when available. Take the ID from a search result's author_id or author_url; full history and deleted videos are not guaranteed.

Kuaishou user ID or author profile link (supports /profile/{id} and /@{user} formats). Used by user_posts to fetch videos and obtainable directly from video search results via author_id / author_url.
Kuaishou: Profile Redirection ID Conversion Does Not Represent API Capabilities — The Kuaishou Mini Program profile redirection feature can convert a Kuaishou account ID to a UID, but this is a capability of that official component. The user_id field here relies on IDs returned by search following the format above and does not claim support for automatic conversion of arbitrary Kuaishou account IDs. · Checked

Kuaishou API questions

What can I retrieve with the Kuaishou API?

Set platform to kuaishou. The current catalog lists search and posts by user. These action names identify different Kuaishou objects or views; they are not interchangeable search modes.

Does Kuaishou have an official API?

Kuaishou Open Platform requires company verification and offers OAuth-based APIs, such as login, profile and video publishing, that act on the users who authorize an app. Its public documentation does not describe an API for searching public videos or reading other users' comments.

Official sources: Kuaishou Open Platform: developer onboarding · Kuaishou Open Platform: user information · Checked

Do I need a Kuaishou developer account or API key?

No. Requests go through EveryInfra with an EveryInfra API key: sign up, create a key in the console and send it as Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>. You do not register a Kuaishou developer app, apply for Kuaishou API access or sign in with a Kuaishou account, and the actions return public Kuaishou data only.

How much does the Kuaishou API cost per 1,000 requests?

$0.56 per 1,000 requests, depending on the action; each action's price is listed in the table on this page and in the public catalog. There is no subscription: you top up a USD balance and pay per call, and failed calls and empty results are not charged.

Which input starts a Kuaishou `search` request?

Search query for public Kuaishou videos (excludes user accounts). Send it as keyword inside params.

Which fields can Kuaishou `search` return?

Its declared schema includes text, duration_ms, view_count, and like_count. A declared field can still be absent from an individual record, and every other action has its own field list.

Does every Kuaishou action return immediately?

Actions labeled asynchronous return a job ID you poll. Every other action can also run asynchronously: add "mode": "async" to the request body to receive a job ID immediately, useful for slow tasks or large limits. The current catalog contains sync delivery.
