## Parameters

| name | type | required | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer (1–30) | no | 20 | The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 30. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge. |

## 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 | The record's link on Xiaohongshu. Links from search, note, profile and hashtag usually carry an access token, so they open in a signed-out browser (the token expires; call again for a fresh link). Note links from user_posts carry no token and need one to open in a browser: call note with the note ID to get a link that opens. Profile links from search_users carry no token either; call profile with the user_id for one that opens. Note links from pgy_content_square carry a token, except with `keyword`, where they carry none. |
| title | Title. null when the platform has no titles (for example text-only posts). |
| author_name | Author's display name. |
| is_video | Whether the note is a video note. The play URL is NOT part of the note detail response (since 2026-10-14): call the separate video action with the same note URL to fetch it; each call is billed per call. |
| image_url | Image link. Capabilities with several images may return an image_urls array. |
| platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |

```bash
curl -X POST 'https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social' \

## Response example

Real response to the example request above, captured 2026-10-24T18:28:34Z. `results` and `count` are real with personal information (names, handles, avatars, profile links, contact details) removed; the list keeps the first 2 of 20. `id`, `billing` and `quota` differ on every call, so only their shape is shown.
