Platform limitations

Unsupported popularity sorts fall back to relevance; text falls back to all. Image/video search cannot independently apply a non-relevance sort.

Search may continue until an empty page when the source does not provide a continuation signal. Inspect warnings and apply a page budget.

Trending excludes pinned entries and returns native ranks 1–50.

Use a numeric post ID or standard post URL for content, and a numeric UID or standard profile URL for accounts.
