Search Kuaishou videos by keyword and get view, like, comment and share counts, duration, cover, author details and a spoken-word transcript when available. Duration is in milliseconds, and user accounts are not part of the results.
Send POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with platform set to kuaishou and action set to search. Price $8 per 1,000 requests ($0.008 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.
AI prompt
#Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Kuaishou Search endpoint (kuaishou/search).
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 search, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
- keyword: Search query for public Kuaishou videos (excludes user accounts).
- Optional parameters:
- limit: The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 100. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge. (default: 20)
- Returns a list of records. Main fields of each record: id, url, text, duration_ms (Duration in milliseconds), view_count (Views of the topic (hot_boards)), like_count, comment_count, share_count, posted_at, author_id, author_name, author_kwai_id (The author's Kuaishou handle (a user-ch…); 19 fields in total, full list at https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social/catalog?platform=kuaishou.
- Example request body:
{
"platform": "kuaishou",
"action": "search",
"params": {
"keyword": "露营装备"
}
}
- Price: $8 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.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
id | The record's unique ID on the platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms. |
url | Link to the record on the platform. |
text | Body text with HTML removed, returned in full and never cut short (on a few platforms the list results themselves carry only an excerpt; the platform's field notes say so). |
duration_ms | Duration in milliseconds. |
view_count | Views of the topic (hot_boards). |
like_count | Likes. null means the platform or this capability does not disclose it; it is not 0. |
comment_count | Comments. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
share_count | Shares. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
posted_at | Publish time in ISO 8601, UTC (for example 2026-08-07T12:34:56+00:00). Non-standard strings from the platform are passed through as is, so parse defensively. null means the platform does not disclose it. |
author_id | Author's unique ID on the platform. |
author_name | Author's display name. |
author_kwai_id | The author's Kuaishou handle (a user-chosen ID). |
author_url | Link to the author's profile on the platform. |
author_verified | Whether the author is verified; on comments, the commenter. |
follower_count | Followers. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
video_count | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
cover_url | Cover image; on trending, the picture for the hot-list entry. |
avatar_url | Avatar image link. Some platforms return sized CDN links that can expire. |
transcript | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |

- Kuaishou: Differences Between Kuaishou ID and Kuaishou UID ↗
Official Kuaishou documentation separates Kuaishou account IDs from Kuaishou UIDs and details where to find them on profile pages. User search results here must similarly distinguish username, nickname, and user_id, rather than displaying nicknames in place of user IDs.
