Response

Response fields and example

This example is illustrative, not a captured live response. Variable-cost operations may settle a charge different from the list price below. A successful response puts the platform payload in data and reports the exact credits used, remaining balance, request id and cache status beside it.

200 · application/json
{
  "success": true,
  "platform": "github",
  "endpoint": "/v1/github/issue/comments",
  "data": {
    "items": [
      {
        "id": 45,
        "author": "example",
        "body": "Illustrative comment",
        "reactions": 0
      }
    ],
    "cursor": null,

The example uses fictional values and shows a documented subset of data. The fields below are optional across supported sources; nullable fields can also be absent. Preserve unknown values and accept additional fields.

Download the data JSON Schema. Validate response.data, not the whole envelope. A valid shape does not establish that every field or source record was returned.

Field inside dataTypeMeaning
itemsarrayRecords in this response page.
items[].idnumber | string | nullSource ID. Preserve its original representation; do not coerce a large string ID to a JavaScript number.
items[].authorstring | nullAuthor login.
items[].bodystring | nullComment body.
items[].urlstring | nullOriginal source URL when supplied.
items[].reactionsnumber | nullReactions reported by the source; null or absent is unknown, not zero.
items[].created_atstring | nullSource publication time, normalized to an ISO date-time when available.
items[].updated_atstring | nullSource publication time, normalized to an ISO date-time when available.
countnumber | nullReturned row count when supplied; not the full source total.
cursorstring | nullOpaque next-page token. A missing token does not prove full history was retrieved.
has_moreboolean | nullSource continuation indicator; null means unknown.
_warningsarrayCollection limitations or component warnings. Read before interpreting coverage.

Failures use the typed error envelope. A confirmed uncharged or refunded failure reports zero; a pending reconciliation can report an unknown charge. Read credits_used and error.details.billing_status, and keep request_id for recovery. Response contract · Error reference
