EveryData platform API

Toutiao API

Q: What can I retrieve with the Toutiao API?

Set `platform` to `toutiao`. The current catalog lists article details, profiles, posts by user, and profile search. These action names identify different Toutiao objects or views; they are not interchangeable search modes.

Q: Which input starts a Toutiao `article` request?

Full URL to a specific article or video for the `article` action. In user-scoped actions where both `url` and `user_id` are supplied, `url` takes precedence to identify the profile page. Send it as `url` inside `params`.

Q: Which fields can Toutiao `article` return?

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

This Toutiao reference organizes Toutiao article details, creator profiles, creator posts, and profile discovery into 4 concrete operations—`article`, `profile`, `user_posts` among them—so shared parameter names do not blur object types.

Use `article` with `url` to read one Toutiao article, or `profile` with `user_id` to retrieve a public creator profile. Each action keeps its own input and response scope.

What does each Toutiao 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.

Toutiao: Micro-Toutiao and Articles Are Distinct Content TypesThe Toutiao Creator Help Center describes Micro-Toutiao as short social content and introduces its publishing and editing workflows separately. This API reads posts according to the column specifications above and does not gain capabilities to publish, edit, participate in topics, or earn creator revenue simply by referencing these workflows.Checked 2026-09-04
