Fetch one Douyin video's caption, hashtags, length, engagement counts, author profile, background music and publish time from its video link. The play link in video_url is signed and expires, so download promptly if you need to keep it.
Send POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with platform set to douyin and action set to video. 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.
Douyin Video details reads one video's public information from its url: the caption, hashtags, length, like, comment, share and save counts, the author and their follower count, the publish time and region. Use it to break down a single hit video, check the numbers on a sponsored post, or fill in details for video links you collected elsewhere.
Pass the video page link, shaped like https://www.douyin.com/video/<video ID>, not a profile or search page. The same link also works for reading the video's comments or extracting its transcript. Douyin does not publish play counts, so view_count says nothing about real views; judge reach by likes, comments and shares.
AI prompt
#Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Douyin Video details endpoint (douyin/video).
How the endpoint works:
- 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 douyin and action to video, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
- url: Full URL of the target Douyin video, formatted as https://www.douyin.com/video/<video_id>.
- Returns one object. Main fields: id, url, text, media_type (Media type: video, or image for image p…), video_url (Video playback URL (signed, expires), like_count, comment_count, share_count, collect_count, view_count (This is not a real play count), author_name, author_id; 53 fields in total, full list at https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social/catalog?platform=douyin.
- Example request body:
{
"platform": "douyin",
"action": "video",
"params": {
"url": "https://www.douyin.com/video/7633646113853104116"
}
}
- 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.

FAQ
#Which link should I pass as url?
#The full video page link, shaped like https://www.douyin.com/video/<video ID>. If you only have a short share link, open it in a browser first and copy the video page address it lands on. Profile and search page links do not work.
Can I get a video's play count?
#No. Douyin does not publish play counts, so view_count here does not reflect real views. To gauge how a video did, look at like_count, share_count and collect_count together and compare them with the author's other videos.
Can I get what is said in the video?
#This capability returns the caption and hashtags, not the speech. For the spoken words, call the Douyin Transcript capability with the same video link; it extracts the voice track as text you can analyze.
