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.

Retrieve public posts from YouTube. Accepts these parameters: since, sort, and url. Returns these fields: title, view_count, like_count, and posted_at.
Price $0.56 per 1,000 requests ($0.000556 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.
Request parameters
| Name | In | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Authorization | header | string | Yes | - | Bearer followed by your API key. Create it in the console; never put it in a URL or a code repository. |
platform | body | string | Yes | youtube | Platform identifier, fixed value. |
action | body | string | Yes | user_posts | Capability identifier, fixed value. |
url | body.params | Not declared | Yes | - | The target URL required by YouTube actions. Use full channel URLs for profile and user_posts, or specific watch?v= and share links for video, comments, and transcript. Channel metadata is derived from published content, and comments does not return channel community board posts. |
since | body.params | Not declared | No | - | The lower date bound for filtering channel videos, Shorts, or comments. Whether this filter applies when passed to single-video or transcript actions remains unconfirmed. |
sort | body.params | enum | No | - | The sort order applied across YouTube actions. For search, accepted values are relevance, newest, most_viewed, and top_rated. For channel videos and Shorts, accepted values are newest, oldest, and popular. For comments, accepted values are newest and popular. Specifying this parameter on a single-video query does not filter that video's content.Allowed valuesnewestoldestpopular |
limit | body.params | integer (1–50) | No | 10 |

}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.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
id | The record's unique ID on the source platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms. |
url | Link to the record on the source platform. |
title | Title. null when the platform has no titles (for example text-only posts). |
text | Body text with HTML removed. Long text may be truncated. |
author_name | Author's display name. |
author_username | Author's username (@handle), usually usable in URLs. |
author_id | Author's unique ID on the source platform. |
author_url | Link to the author's profile on the source platform. |
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. |
view_count | Views or plays. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
duration | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
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. |
platform | Source 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).
