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.
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 Posts by user endpoint (kuaishou/user_posts).
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 user_posts, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
- user_id: 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.
- 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": "user_posts",
"params": {
"user_id": "2542916559"
}
}
- 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.Request parameters

}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.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
id | The record's unique ID on the platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms. |
url | Link to the record on the platform. |
text | Body 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_ms | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
view_count | Views or plays. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
like_count | Likes. null means the platform or this capability does not disclose it; it is not 0. |
comment_count | Comments. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
share_count | Shares. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
posted_at | Publish 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_id | Author's unique ID on the platform. |
author_name | Author's display name. |
author_kwai_id | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
author_url | Link to the author's profile on the platform. |
author_verified | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
follower_count | Followers. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
video_count | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
cover_url | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
avatar_url | Avatar image link. Some platforms return sized CDN links that can expire. |
transcript | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
platform | Source 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).
Official references
Used only to check objects and terms. They do not imply authorization or endorsement of EveryInfra by the platform.
- 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.
