Try it

This sends a real call to https://api.okdata.online and is billed as usual: at most $0.02. Failed calls are free. Your key goes only to that address and is never stored on this site.

Known limits

  • About 20 accounts come back per page; the platform sets the page size, so there is no page-size parameter.
  • For the next page, pass page.next_cursor back as cursor. A cursor stays valid for 24 hours. When page.has_more is false there is nothing left.

Returned fields

data.items is a list of Account.

FieldTypeViewDescription
idstringcompactAccount ID on the platform.
urlstringcompactProfile link.
usernamestring | nullcompactHandle, where the platform has one.
namestringcompactDisplay name.
biostring | nullcompactProfile bio.Long text: view=compact may shorten it.

The view column is the smallest view a field comes back in: compact returns only compact fields, standard adds the standard ones, full returns everything. The default is standard.

When it is charged

One call costs $0.02 and returns one page of about 20 accounts. Collecting 1,000 accounts takes about 50 calls, $1.00 in total. Each page is a separate call; failed calls are not charged.

Questions

How much does the Kuaishou account search API cost?

One call costs $0.02 and returns one page of about 20 accounts. Collecting 1,000 accounts takes about 50 calls, $1.00 in total. Each page is a separate call; failed calls are not charged.

How do I get the next page?

Pass page.next_cursor from the response back as the cursor parameter. When page.has_more is false there is nothing left. Every page is its own call at $0.02.

Do I need a Kuaishou account, cookies or a QR login?

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