Kuaishou User Posts API

The recent videos of one account.

Get the recent videos of any public Kuaishou account and get back text, author, likes, comment count, views and publish time, as JSON over HTTP or from your AI client over MCP. A call to the Kuaishou User Posts API costs 12 credits ($0.024 to $0.04 depending on the pack), failed calls are free, and the response has the same format as every other call.

Need 100 items? Send limit: 100 and one call pages for you: at most 5 pages, 60 credits. It stops once it has them or the list ends; pages it does not use are not charged, and neither are pages that fail. Reading 1,000 items comes to about 600 credits, about $2.00.

Daily watch: tell your AI “watch this daily” and this call runs by itself every day, sending only what is new: at most 372 credits a month, about $1.24. How to set it up

What you get from the Kuaishou User Posts API.
From a recorded answer.

A recorded call returned 20 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 (20 items) is about 125,183 tokens as the platform's raw JSON and about 4,411 as this interface returns it, 96% fewer (measured 2026-11-06). How it was measured

nullFields Kuaishou cannot give

Read null as “Kuaishou did not give this”, not as zero. These are always null on this call:

  • formatvideo, image, text or article.
  • titleThe title.
  • author.followersThe author's follower count.
  • metrics.repostsReposts.
  • imagesImage addresses.
  • hashtagsHashtags, without the #.
  • is_pinnedWhether the author pinned it.

Compared with the Douyin User Posts API, this call also gives views but does not give title, images or hashtags.

Every item also has platform, id, ref, approx and type; the response around the items is the same on every call. Response format

Kuaishou User Posts API: paging and billing.

One call returns a page of up to 20 items. When page.has_more is true, send page.cursor back as cursor for the next page; each page costs 12 credits and a cursor works for 30 minutes.
A call that runs and finds nothing is a successful call: status is "empty", items is empty, and it costs 12 credits.
On this call Kuaishou cannot tell a video that does not exist from one with no data: both come back as empty, and both are charged.

5 calls per second per key, 20 after a purchase; going over is not charged. Rate limits

A failed call costs 0 credits and is never retried on its own. Error codes

Interface last tested: 2026-10-17. Each call reads from the platform, and fetched_at in the answer is when it was read. The same request sent again with the same key within 5 minutes is a replay (replayed: true): 0 credits, and the answer as first read.

Kuaishou User Posts API: questions.
Short answers.

All Kuaishou data APIs
Do I need a Kuaishou account or Kuaishou's own API access?
No. You only need a SocialToAI key. The call returns content and account information publicly visible on Kuaishou; you never sign in to Kuaishou or apply for anything there.
What does one call cost in dollars?
12 credits: $0.04 at 300 credits per dollar (purchases from $10), $0.024 at 500 per dollar (from $200). Credits never expire and there is no subscription. 100 free credits on sign-up, no card.
Am I charged when a call fails or finds nothing?
A failed call costs 0 credits and is never retried on its own. A call that runs and finds nothing is a successful call: status is "empty" and it costs 12 credits. This interface cannot tell a target that does not exist from one with no data, so both are charged as empty.
How much does one call return?
One call returns a page of up to 20 items. When page.has_more is true, send page.cursor back as cursor for the next page; each page costs 12 credits and a cursor works for 30 minutes.
Is there a rate limit?
5 calls a second per key, 20 a second after your first purchase. A request over the limit is told how long to wait and is not charged.
How do I use it from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?
Yes. In Claude or ChatGPT, add the MCP address https://mcp.socialtoai.com/mcp as a custom connector, sign in with the code we email you and press Allow; there is no key to paste. In Claude Code, run one command, type /mcp, pick socialtoai and sign in; Codex and Cursor sign in too, with their steps on the connect page. Then ask in plain words and your AI calls user_posts for you.
