# Douyin account growth API

> How a Douyin account moved over the last 7 or 30 days, by its numeric ID, from 巨量算数: net new followers, new likes, comments, shares and videos, each with its change against the period before, and the totals now. Up to five accounts in one call (one unknown ID fails the whole batch). One period's sum, not a daily series.

Canonical page: https://okdata.online/apis/douyin/users/history/

- **Endpoint**: `GET /v1/douyin/users/history`
- **ID**: `douyin.users.history`
- **Price**: $0.002 per call
- **Returns**: one AccountHistory object (`data.item`)
- **Status**: preview
- **Good for**: Competitor monitoring, Creator discovery

## Price

One call costs $0.002 and returns one account_history. 1,000 lookups cost $2.00. Failed calls are not charged.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `id` | string | no |  | One account's numeric Douyin ID (uid). Give id or ids. Not the MS4w… sec_uid and not the Douyin handle: it is ext.uid in douyin.users.get with view=full. Accounts with only a few hundred followers have no index data. (e.g. `104255897823`) |
| `ids` | string[] | no |  | Up to five numeric Douyin IDs (uid). Give id or ids. If one is unknown the whole batch fails; ask one at a time to find which. (e.g. `104255897823,66598046050`) |
| `window` | string: 7d / 30d | no | `7d` | How many recent days to sum: 7 (the default) or 30. |
| `view` | string: compact / standard / full | no | `standard` | How much of each object comes back. full adds platform-specific fields under ext. |
| `fields` | string[] | no |  | Fields to keep, by path (author.name), to save tokens. In a query string: comma-separated. |

cursor, view and fields work as described in [Requests](https://okdata.online/docs/requests/).

## Returned fields

Each item is a [AccountHistory](https://okdata.online/docs/objects/account_history/).

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `id` | string | The account's numeric ID (the one asked about). |
| `name` | string \| null | Display name. |
| `url` | string \| null | Profile link. |
| `avatar_url` | string \| null | Avatar. |
| `days` | integer | How many of the most recent days the figures cover. |
| `gained` | AccountGain | What the account gained over the period. |
| `change` | AccountChange | Each gain against the same length of time before, as a ratio: 0.3 is 30% more, -0.5 is half. |
| `totals` | AccountTotals \| null | Totals as of now. |
| `ext` | object | Platform-specific extras. Only returned with view=full. |

## Errors

Errors share one shape: code, request_id, message and message_zh (a fixed sentence per code), charged, retry, retry_after_seconds, param and docs_url, with the specifics in problems. They are not charged, except not_found here, which costs $0.002 because the source bills it (charged: true with amount); only settlement_unknown is unknown until looked up.

## Questions

### How much does the Douyin account growth API cost?

One call costs $0.002 and returns one account_history. 1,000 lookups cost $2.00. Failed calls are not charged.

### Do I need a Douyin account, cookies or a QR login?

No. You send only your okdata API key. The data is public data from Douyin; nothing is fetched with your own Douyin account.

### Am I charged when a call fails?

No. Every error response says charged: false, except a timeout, which says charged: null until the outcome is known. Resend with the same Idempotency-Key and you are never charged twice.

### What if Douyin does not show a field?

The field is null, and meta.unavailable names it with the reason: platform (the platform never shows it) or capability (we cannot fetch it yet).

## Common errors on this endpoint

| HTTP | Code | Meaning | Charged | Retry |

| 402 | `insufficient_balance` | The balance (available) cannot cover the most this call could cost (required). | no | after a fix |

| 500 | `settlement_unknown` | The data came back, but the charge could not be confirmed. | unknown until looked up | with the same Idempotency-Key |
| 502 | `upstream_failed` | Every data source for this endpoint failed on this request. | no | yes |
| 503 | `capability_paused` | This endpoint is paused right now; nothing ran. | no | yes |
