FOR CHINA-MARKET RESEARCHERS
Trace a research claim back to its public sources
Gather bounded samples of Chinese social content with consistent API responses, source links and explicit limits.
Make the question and sample explicit
Define a question, choose supported platforms and inspect the available filters before requesting data. Record the applied parameters, warnings, collection time and returned source links in your own research notes.
Follow only returned pagination cursors. Each additional page is an explicit paid request. Keep the sampling window and request budget in your report instead of describing a few results as comprehensive coverage.
Keep retrieval separate from interpretation
SocialToAI returns public source data in a consistent envelope. Your AI client performs the synthesis. Missing dates, hidden counts and unsupported filters remain limitations; an empty search is not proof that an opinion or audience does not exist.
Compare claims with cited examples and distinguish observed statements from your interpretation. The gateway does not provide private content, publishing access or a guarantee that source content remains available.
Run a bounded first request
Start with the quickstart, review per-call prices and inspect billing after the response. Registration includes 2 credits; some multi-step research tasks require a top-up.
