Parameters

Query parameters

Useful optional inputs

  • region — Select the documented source market or request location.

    Read this endpoint’s region semantics; it does not generally prove creator residence.

  • fit — Use fit=goal with a task description to replace confidently irrelevant records with recall stubs and reduce agent context.

    No fit surcharge; full evidence is retained for 24 hours when stored, and the response size target is soft.

  • dry_run — Read a free estimate before fetching sources or scheduling paid work.

    Zero credits; cache status and availability are snapshots rather than guarantees.

NameRequiredDescriptionExample
hashtagyesHashtag without the #.coffee
cursornoOpaque cursor from the previous page.—
regionnoTwo-letter country code for the source request location. It can affect availability and ranking; it does not filter creators by residence or audience country. Keep it unchanged when continuing.US
dry_runnoRead a zero-credit estimate without fetching sources, running AI, or reserving credits. Cache status is a snapshot, not a guarantee at execution. Accepted values: 1, 0, true, false. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable.1
judgmentsnoAdd bounded AI labels to eligible returned records (default on). off preserves the original data shape. Unclassified records remain present; labels depend on evidence, time, capacity and the existing request budget. No label surcharge. Accepted values: on, off. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable.on
labelnoSet none to disable labels; default enables the endpoint’s label set. Equivalent to judgments=off. Accepted values: default, none. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable.none
label_evidencenoInclude exact supporting sentences and zero-based sentence indexes when a label has validated evidence. No extra charge or change to decisions. Accepted values: 1, 0, true, false. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable.1
excludenoOptionally remove confidently labelled engagement bait. Uncertain and unclassified records stay; removed IDs and an owner-bound recall reference are returned. Accepted values: engagement_bait. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable.engagement_bait
fitnoUse goal to replace confidently irrelevant records with recall stubs. Keeps first, last, relevant and uncertain records; preserves order. Full evidence is stored for 24 hours when available. Accepted values: goal. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable.goal
goalnoRequired with fit=goal: describe the task in at most 600 characters. Supplied text is task context, never permission to act on posts.Find concrete product complaints
tokensnoOptional soft response target for fit=goal, 256–32000. Safety and evidence retention take priority, so the returned result may exceed it.4000

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.

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.

Field inside dataTypeMeaning
itemsarrayRecords in this response page.
items[].idstring | nullSource identifier. Preserve its exact string value; do not convert large IDs to numbers.
items[].urlstring | nullOriginal source URL when supplied.
items[].captionstring | nullVideo caption; spoken words require a transcript request.
items[].created_atstring | nullSource publication time, normalized to an ISO date-time when available.
items[].duration_snumber | nullVideo duration in seconds.
items[].regionstring | nullSource-reported content region, not audience geography or proof of residence.

items[].author.idstring | nullSource identifier. Preserve its exact string value; do not convert large IDs to numbers.
items[].author.handlestring | nullPublic account username.
items[].author.namestring | nullDisplay name.

items[].author.followersnumber | nullFollower count supplied with this video; null when absent. No profile-enrichment call is made.
items[].author.regionstring | nullSource-reported account region, not audience geography or proof of residence.

items[].music.idstring | nullSource identifier. Preserve its exact string value; do not convert large IDs to numbers.
items[].music.titlestring | nullSource sound title.
items[].music.authorstring | nullSource sound author.

has_moreboolean | nullSource continuation indicator; null means unknown.
_warningsarrayCollection limitations or component warnings. Read before interpreting coverage.

include_music=true preserves the existing native source. Adding search_mode=precise selects source counters and regions with exact music strings, but verification can be unavailable and video durations are whole seconds. Keep the options with their cursor.

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
