## Response fields (items in `results`)

| 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_verified | Whether the author is verified; on comments, the commenter. |
| follower_count | Followers. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
| video_count | platform-native 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 | platform-native meaning |
