# Douyin user profile API

user_profile on Douyin: 0.2 credits per successful call, with clear inputs, source data and billing.

Canonical: https://socialtoai.com/douyin-user-profile-api/

## One request

0.2 credits per successful or empty call. Failed calls cost 0.

Replace any PASTE_PUBLIC placeholder with a supported public identifier. This is a request template; it does not run automatically.

```
curl --request POST 'https://api.socialtoai.com/v1/user_profile' \
  --header "X-API-Key: $SOCIALTOAI_API_KEY" \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'Idempotency-Key: REPLACE_WITH_A_UNIQUE_REQUEST_ID' \
  --data '{"platform":"douyin","user":"PASTE_PUBLIC_ACCOUNT_ID"}'
```

## Native support

Result shape: profile_card. Pagination: not supported.

These values describe the reference card. Additional restrictions can apply to user discovery or a content subtype. Inspect applied_params and warnings instead of assuming an unsupported filter was honored.

## A schema-checked example

Illustrative result with one invented value and an example trial balance. It shows the response shape; it is not a live response or a production availability measurement.

## Platform limitations

Content search does not support most_collected, most_comments or 30d natively. Fallbacks are reported in warnings. User search does not apply content filters.

Use standard douyin.com URLs or v.douyin.com share links for items, and sec_user_id or a profile URL for accounts.

Creator posts include verified coauthored posts when the queried creator is explicitly identified.
