How health is measured
  • Health = the share of calls that returned data, in percent. Empty results, failures and unknown outcomes do not count as returning data.
  • Levels: 90% and above is healthy, 70% and above is available, 40% and above is limited; anything lower is mostly down.
  • A period (the last 24 hours, one hour or one day) gets a score only once it has at least 50 calls. Periods with fewer calls show as normal: a few failures among a handful of calls do not mean the API is down.
  • Calls include real customer calls and our own daily probe calls. Request errors (wrong parameters, no balance) are excluded.
  • Average time counts only calls that completed normally: response time for sync calls, acceptance to completion for async ones.

Response example

Real response

Captured September 26, 2026 at 08:56 (UTC) by calling this API with the parameters in the code sample above. results and count are that call's real response with personal information (names, handles, avatars, profile links, contact details) removed; the list keeps the first 2. id, billing and quota differ on every call, so only their shape is shown.

Response fields

Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the source does not provide are never made up.

FieldMeaning
idThe record's unique ID on the source platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms.
usernameUsername (@handle).
urlLink to the record on the source platform.
nameName of the object itself, for account, product and business capabilities.
textBody text with HTML removed. Long text may be truncated.
locationLocation description passed through as is; the format varies by platform.
avatar_urlAvatar image link. Some platforms return sized CDN links that can expire.
follower_countFollowers. null means not disclosed, not 0.
following_countAccounts followed. null means not disclosed, not 0.
post_countTotal posts. null means not disclosed, not 0.
is_verifiedWhether the platform verified the account. null means it cannot be determined.
is_protectedKeeps the platform's own meaning
created_atCreation time, same format as posted_at.
platformSource platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok).

Errors and billing

401
Missing or invalid key. Authentication runs before parameter checks, so unauthenticated requests never see the parameter schema.
422
Wrong parameter name or value. The error lists the parameters and allowed values this capability accepts and the closest match; it happens before any charge.
402
Insufficient balance. Top up first.
429
Per-minute request limit reached. Wait for Retry-After and try again.
503
Could not complete right now. Any charge for the call goes back to your balance automatically, and the billing receipt in the response states the actual outcome, including when it is not yet known. Do not resend blindly.
200 empty
The request completed without data and is not charged (billing.reason = empty_result_refunded).

  • X: Direction of Followers vs. Following ↗

    X separately explains who follows you and who you follow, as following does not need to be mutual; protected posts have additional access restrictions. List queries are not bulk-follow actions and do not imply expanded access permissions.
