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": "twitch",
"endpoint": "/v1/twitch/user/videos",

}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 |
|---|---|---|
_warnings | array | null | Source array was empty in the reviewed captures; item fields remain unspecified. |
count | number | null | Number of records in this response, not lifetime or total matches. |
cursor | string | null | Opaque next-page token; pass it back unchanged. Null does not prove complete history. |
dropped | number | null | Optional dropped supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
items | array | null | Returned records. Source coverage and completeness vary. |
items[].duration | string | null | Optional duration supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
items[].duration_seconds | number | null | Optional duration seconds supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
items[].id | string | null | Source identifier. Preserve the supplied type and exact value. |
items[].muted_segments | array | null | Source array was empty in the reviewed captures; item fields remain unspecified. |
items[].published_at | string | null | Source publication time when available. |
items[].stream_id | string | null | Optional stream id supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
items[].thumbnail_url | string | null | Optional thumbnail url supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
items[].title | string | null | Source title when supplied. |
items[].url | string | null | Original source URL when supplied. |
items[].view_count | number | null | Optional view count supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
user | object | null | Optional user supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
user.handle | string | null | Optional handle supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
user.id | string | null | Source identifier. Preserve the supplied type and exact value. |
user.name | string | null | Optional name 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
