Read one of Kuaishou's topic boards in one call: the hot board, entertainment, society or useful, about 50 entries. Each entry has its rank, title, heat as a whole number and view count; the pinned entry is first and carries a label. For the hot board with cover images and video IDs, use trending.

Price $0.81 per 1,000 requests ($0.000806 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.

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Kuaishou Hot boards endpoint (kuaishou/hot_boards).

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 kuaishou and action to hot_boards, and put the parameters inside params.
- No required parameters.
- Optional parameters:
  - board: Board: hot (default), entertainment, society or useful. Each call returns the whole board, about 50 entries. (allowed: entertainment / hot / society / useful)
  - limit: The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 50. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values are accepted and capped at the maximum. (default: 50)
- Returns a list of records. Main fields of each record: rank (Hot-list position from 1 (trending), in…), title, hot_value (Heat value shown on the hot list (trend…), view_count (Views of the topic (hot_boards)), label (Hot-list badge as shown (trending), suc…).
- Example request body:
{
  "platform": "kuaishou",
  "action": "hot_boards",
  "params": {}
}
- Price: $0.81 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.

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
`rank`	Hot-list position from 1 (trending), in Kuaishou's order; the pinned entry is first.
`title`	Title. null when the platform has no titles (for example text-only posts).
`hot_value`	Heat value shown on the hot list (trending), converted from text such as 12.442 million to the whole number 12442000; the pinned entry may have none. Compare it only within the list.
`view_count`	Views of the topic (hot_boards).
`label`	Hot-list badge as shown (trending), such as pinned, new or exclusive; absent when there is no badge.
`platform`	Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok).
