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.

{
  "success": true,
  "platform": "reddit",
  "endpoint": "/v1/reddit/subreddit",
  "data": {
    "items": [
      {
        "id": "example1",
        "title": "What improved your desk setup?",
        "author": "example_reader",
        "subreddit": "example_community",
        "url": null,
        "score": 42,
        "comments_count": 18,
        "text": null
      }
    ],
    "cursor": null,
    "has_more": null
  },
  "credits_used": 2,
  "credits_remaining": 99,
  "request_id": "req_…",
  "cached": false
}

The example is illustrative 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.

Schema basis: reviewed response shaper. See schema coverage and validation limits.

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.

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
