EveryData platform API
DeviantArt API
Use DeviantArt for DeviantArt works, galleries, popular items, and creator profiles only through the 4 listed contracts, such as `search`, `gallery`, `popular`, because one view does not inherit another view’s reach.
For matching public results, use DeviantArt action `search` with `keyword`; for gallery items, switch to `gallery` and `username`, rather than carrying parameters across.

What does each DeviantArt action accept?
Each answer below pairs one callable action with its real inputs. Parameter meanings and allowed values are action-specific; a familiar name does not carry the same meaning across every platform.
Official sources are linked only to clarify the platform term beside them. They do not imply platform authorization or endorsement, and they do not add official-site features to the EveryInfra API contract.

DeviantArt API questions
What can I retrieve with the DeviantArt API?
Set platform to deviantart. The current catalog lists search, gallery, popular, and profiles. These action names identify different DeviantArt objects or views; they are not interchangeable search modes.
Which input starts a DeviantArt `search` request?
Specifies the subject search query for DeviantArt artwork discovery, such as landscape. Queries artwork titles and metadata rather than performing exact username searches; use gallery with username to fetch work by a specific creator. Send it as keyword inside params.
Which fields can DeviantArt `search` return?
Its declared schema includes title, text, category, and image_url. A declared field can still be absent from an individual source record, and every other action has its own field list.
Does every DeviantArt action return immediately?
No assumption is needed: this page labels each action's delivery mode. The current catalog contains sync delivery; poll a returned job ID only for an action labeled asynchronous.
