What you get from the Kuaishou Comments API.
From a recorded answer.
A recorded call returned 40 items; here is the first, field by field. Names and text are removed from the sample; the numbers are as recorded.
Lighter for your AI: the same recorded data (40 items) is about 15,345 tokens as the platform's raw JSON and about 4,811 as this interface returns it, 68% fewer (measured 2026-11-06). How it was measured
