Kwai profile

Beta GET /v1/kwai/profile

GET /v1/kwai/profile

A public profile: name, bio, avatar, verification, counts of posts, likes, followers and following. Kwai's follower figure is unreliable (the official Brazil account reports 1), so treat it with care.

  • Cost: 1 credit
  • Status: Beta. Built and tested against recorded responses; the shape may still gain fields.
  • Cache: Results are kept up to 30 days; send max_age_days to reuse them for free.
  • Timeout: A request still running after about 25 seconds answers 202 with a job to poll (Batch and jobs).

Parameters#

NameTypeRequiredDescription
urlURLone ofProfile URL (kwai.com/@<user>). Accepted hosts: kwai.com.
handlestringone ofUsername, with or without the leading @. Also accepted as username.

Send at least one of url, handle. If you send several, the first listed is used and the rest are ignored.

Every request also accepts:

  • trim: true for a smaller response without null fields and extra.
  • raw: true to also get the platform's original object as raw.
  • max_age_days: accept a cached result up to this many days old, for 0 credits (Caching).
