See which Kuaishou live hosts draw the biggest crowds right now, overall or in a category such as music, dance or gaming, up to 50 per call. Each host has rank, name, numeric user ID, avatar, stream title, live stream ID and popularity as a whole number. The board changes minute by minute.

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 Live rank endpoint (kuaishou/live_rank).

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 live_rank, and put the parameters inside params.
- No required parameters.
- Optional parameters:
  - category: Live category: all (default), music, dance, looks, chinese_art, dating, gaming, anime, story, group_live or multi_host. Each call returns up to 50 hosts of that category. (allowed: all / anime / chinese_art / dance / dating / gaming / group_live / looks)
  - 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…), name (Name of the ranked entry (rank actions)…), type (What the ranked entry is (rank actions)…), user_id (Numeric Kuaishou user ID (rank actions,…), avatar_url, subtitle (The line under the name on the board), live_stream_id (ID of the live stream in progress (host…), popularity (Popularity or heat shown on the board,…).
- Example request body:
{
  "platform": "kuaishou",
  "action": "live_rank",
  "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.
`name`	Name of the ranked entry (rank actions): the host's or brand account's nickname, or the product title on product rows.
`type`	What the ranked entry is (rank actions): `user` for an account, `product` for a product (products board of shopping_rank only).
`user_id`	Numeric Kuaishou user ID (rank actions, user_search, user_live); pass it to user_live.
`avatar_url`	Avatar image link. Some platforms return sized CDN links that can expire.
`subtitle`	The line under the name on the board; on live_rank, the stream title.
`live_stream_id`	ID of the live stream in progress (host rows of live_rank, shopping_rank and brand_rank); absent when not live.
`popularity`	Popularity or heat shown on the board, as a whole number (a board figure of 15.5 × 10,000 becomes 155000); compare it only within one board.
`platform`	Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok).
