Douyin API

Q: What can I retrieve with the Douyin API?

Set `platform` to `douyin`. The current catalog lists search, profiles, posts by user, video details, comments, and more. These action names identify different Douyin objects or views; they are not interchangeable search modes.

Q: Which fields can Douyin `search` return?

Its declared schema includes `text`, `media_type`, `like_count`, and `comment_count`. A declared field can still be absent from an individual source record, and every other action has its own field list.

The scope of this Douyin API is Douyin videos, creator profiles, comments, trends, and available transcripts; its 7 actions, including `search`, `profile`, `user_posts`, retain independent inputs and returned-object meanings.

In the Douyin catalog, `keyword` drives `search` for matching Douyin results, whereas `user_id` drives `profile` for the selected Douyin record; a shared identifier never merges their response fields.

What does each Douyin 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.

Douyin API questions

What can I retrieve with the Douyin API?

Set platform to douyin. The current catalog lists search, profiles, posts by user, video details, comments, and more. These action names identify different Douyin objects or views; they are not interchangeable search modes.

Which input starts a Douyin `search` request?

Search term for the video search action, passed as a string (for example, "latte art"). Used specifically for finding videos, not user nicknames or video IDs. Send it as keyword inside params.

Which fields can Douyin `search` return?

Its declared schema includes text, media_type, like_count, and comment_count. A declared field can still be absent from an individual source record, and every other action has its own field list.

Does every Douyin 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.
