Search Kuaishou videos by keyword and get view, like, comment and share counts, duration, cover, author details and a spoken-word transcript when available. Duration is in milliseconds, and user accounts are not part of the results.

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 Kuaishou Search endpoint (kuaishou/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 kuaishou and action to search, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
  - keyword: Search query for public Kuaishou videos (excludes user accounts).
- Optional parameters:
  - limit: The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 100. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge. (default: 20)
- Returns a list of records. Main fields of each record: id, url, text, duration_ms, view_count, like_count, comment_count, share_count, posted_at, author_id, author_name, author_kwai_id; 19 fields in total, full list at https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social/catalog?platform=kuaishou.
- Example request body:
{
  "platform": "kuaishou",
  "action": "search",
  "params": {
    "keyword": "露营装备"
  }
}
- 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.

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.
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).
duration_msKeeps the platform's own meaning
view_countViews or plays. 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.
share_countShares. null means not disclosed, not 0.
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.
author_idAuthor's unique ID on the platform.
author_nameAuthor's display name.
author_kwai_idKeeps the platform's own meaning
author_urlLink to the author's profile on the platform.
author_verifiedKeeps the platform's own meaning
follower_countFollowers. null means not disclosed, not 0.
video_countKeeps the platform's own meaning
cover_urlKeeps the platform's own meaning
avatar_urlAvatar image link. Some platforms return sized CDN links that can expire.
transcriptKeeps the platform's own meaning
platformSource platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok).

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).

  • 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.
