# Kwai API guide



## Choose a Kwai operation



Start with the object your task needs. The groups below use the current catalogue; open an endpoint to check accepted identifiers, filters, price and availability before retrieving.



### Posts and media



- [Kwai post](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/endpoints/kwai/post) — One post with its counts, author and music.

- [Kwai posts](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/endpoints/kwai/posts) — A user's posts, one page at a time: caption, time, video and cover URLs, and view, like, comment and share counts.



### Accounts and audiences



- [Kwai profile](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/endpoints/kwai/profile) — A public Kwai profile: handle, name, bio, verification, follower, following, like and post counts.



## Check fields and collection limits



Use the endpoint’s declared parameters and returned continuation. Filters from another platform do not automatically apply here. Preserve source identifiers, URLs and warnings; a successful page does not establish complete history. Published response schemas identify whether they come from a reviewed shaper or observed response shapes.



Agents can use `get_endpoint` for the current contract and `get_docs` with topic `platforms/kwai` to read this page. The [coverage guide](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/data-availability) explains nulls and partial results, and the [production guide](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/production-checklist) covers budgets and recovery.



## Endpoint reference

## kwai/post

`GET /v1/kwai/post`

One post with its counts, author and music.

*Kwai post*

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `url` | yes | Post URL — e.g. `https://www.kwai.com/@KwaiBrasilOficial/photo/5222073878527655516` |
| `dry_run` | no | Read 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. — e.g. `1` |

### Useful optional inputs

- `dry_run`: Read a free estimate before fetching sources or scheduling paid work. Zero credits; cache status and availability are snapshots rather than guarantees.

**Cost:** 2 credits at list price per successful uncached response; variable-cost operations may quote or settle a different charge. Confirmed uncharged or refunded failures report zero. Pending reconciliation can report credits_used:null; retain request_id and the original idempotency key.

```bash
curl "https://www.monocrawl.com/v1/kwai/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kwai.com%2F%40KwaiBrasilOficial%2Fphoto%2F5222073878527655516" \
  -H "x-api-key: mn_your_key_here"
```

### Response data

Illustrative abbreviated data; documented core fields are optional and may be null. Additional source fields are allowed.

```json
{
  "author": {
    "handle": "example",
    "name": "example",
    "verified": false
  },
  "caption": "example",
  "cover_url": "https://example.com/example",
  "created_at": "2026-09-01T12:00:00Z",

## kwai/posts

`GET /v1/kwai/posts`

A user's posts, one page at a time: caption, time, video and cover URLs, and view, like, comment and share counts.

*Kwai posts*

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `handle` | yes | Kwai handle (or pass url) — e.g. `KwaiBrasilOficial` |
| `url` | no | Profile URL, instead of handle — e.g. `https://www.kwai.com/@KwaiBrasilOficial` |
| `cursor` | no | Opaque cursor from the previous page |
| `dry_run` | no | Read 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. — e.g. `1` |

### Useful optional inputs

- `cursor`: Continue the same source traversal with the complete returned cursor. Saved-result retrieval and a new source page can have different prices; quote the next call.
- `dry_run`: Read a free estimate before fetching sources or scheduling paid work. Zero credits; cache status and availability are snapshots rather than guarantees.

**Cost:** 2 credits at list price per successful uncached response; variable-cost operations may quote or settle a different charge. Confirmed uncharged or refunded failures report zero. Pending reconciliation can report credits_used:null; retain request_id and the original idempotency key.

```bash
curl "https://www.monocrawl.com/v1/kwai/posts?handle=KwaiBrasilOficial" \
  -H "x-api-key: mn_your_key_here"
```

### Response data
