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": "telegram",
"endpoint": "/v1/telegram/post",
"data": {
"author_name": "example",

}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: observed response shapes, not an exhaustive field specification. 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.
| Field inside data | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
author_name | string | null | Optional author name supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
author_url | string | null | Optional author url supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |

id | string | null | Source identifier. Preserve the supplied type and exact value. |
media_count | number | null | Optional media count supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
platform | string | null | Optional platform supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
published_at | string | null | Source publication time when available. |
reaction_count | number | null | Optional reaction count supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
reactions | array | null | Optional reactions supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
reactions[].count | number | null | Number of records in this response, not lifetime or total matches. |
reactions[].count_text | string | null | Optional count text supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
reactions[].emoji | string | null | Optional emoji supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
reactions[].emoji_id | string | null | Optional emoji id supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |

Optional fields reviewed from preserved successful responses. Additive fields and source variations remain allowed; validate the fields your workflow requires.
The example is invented and illustrates types only; zero and empty values are not claims about a real result.
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
