Browse a channel's uploads on Odysee by name, @name or channel link, sorted by newest or by support-backed popularity, with views, likes, duration and tags. Anything after a colon (the claim ID) is dropped, so check the channel when names overlap.
Odysee Posts by user lists the uploads of one channel, named by username, with each item's title, description, link, thumbnail, length, views, likes, publish time, media type, languages and tags, plus the channel's name, ID and link. Use it to follow a creator who publishes on Odysee, archive or audit a channel's output, or compare what a channel posts there with its output elsewhere.
username takes the channel name with or without the @, or a channel link that contains @name. Set sort to newest for publish order or popular for a ranking tied to the support amounts behind each item. duration_seconds is null for items that are not video or audio, and a null view_count or like_count is an undisclosed figure, to be kept apart from a real zero.
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 Odysee Posts by user endpoint (odysee/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 odysee and action to user_posts, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
- username: Specifies the channel identifier for the user_posts action. Accepts a channel name, @name, or a full Odysee channel URL. Anything after a colon (the claim ID) is dropped, so check the result when channel names overlap.
- Optional parameters:
- sort: Sorts content for the user_posts and tag actions. Allowed values are newest (sorts by publish date) and popular (sorts by support amount metrics). Note that popular does not measure total view count or like count. (allowed: newest / popular)
- limit: The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 200. 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, title, description, channel_name, channel_id, channel_url, url, thumbnail_url, duration_seconds, duration_sec, view_count, like_count; 16 fields in total, full list at https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social/catalog?platform=odysee.
- Example request body:
{
"platform": "odysee",
"action": "user_posts",
"params": {
"username": "@lbry"
}
}
- 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

Response example
Captured September 26, 2026 at 08:56 (UTC) by calling this API with the parameters in the code sample above. results and count are that call's real response with personal information (names, handles, avatars, profile links, contact details) removed; the list keeps the first 2. id, billing and quota differ on every call, so only their shape is shown.

}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. |
title | Title. null when the platform has no titles (for example text-only posts). |
description | Summary or description, usually shorter than text. |
channel_name | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
channel_id | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
channel_url | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
url | Link to the record on the platform. |
thumbnail_url | Thumbnail link, lower resolution than image_url. |
duration_seconds | Duration in seconds. null for content that is not video or audio. |
duration_sec | 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. |
published_at | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
media_type | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
languages | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
tags | Array of tags. An empty array, not null, when there are none. |
platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |
FAQ
What can I pass as username?
The channel name in any of three forms: name, @name, or an Odysee channel link that contains @name. For example, lbry and @lbry read the same channel. Pass one channel per call and keep channel_id from the results as the key for what you store.
Does popular mean most viewed?
No. popular ranks items by a measure tied to the support amounts they received on Odysee, not by views or likes. To rank by audience, fetch with newest and order the rows by view_count or like_count yourself.
How do I keep only items in one language?
Filter on languages, which lists each item's content languages, and on media_type to keep videos apart from other formats. tags is an empty array rather than null when an item has none, so it is safe to filter on as well.
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

- Odysee: Distinction Between Channel Names and Claim Identifiers ↗
Odysee's naming documentation notes that the portion of a URL following a colon relates to the Claim of a specific channel or content item, requiring full identifiers to distinguish same-name addresses. When extracting channel names, this interface removes that portion; citing this documentation does not imply support for precise Claim queries.
