Kuaishou data API: videos, users and comments (2026)
Kuaishou Open Platform reads the authorising user's own videos, and its documents list no comment or search endpoint; to find videos by keyword and read any video's details and comments or any account's videos, use a third-party data API. DataXAPI has 8 Kuaishou endpoints: a video's details or a page of its comments is $0.0020, a page of video search $0.0200. The free trial covers up to 333 calls; a failed call is not charged.

Does Kuaishou have an official API?
Yes. Kuaishou Open Platform needs a qualification first, with company, legal representative and admin details, before an app can be made. Its video endpoints (/openapi/photo/list, /openapi/photo/info) read the authorising user's own videos, up to 200 a page; we found no comment or search endpoint in its documents.
What do DataXAPI's Kuaishou endpoints return?
A video ID is the part of its link that starts with 3x; a user ID is digits (not the Kuaishou handle). With only a link or share text, paste it into url as it is.
| You want | Endpoint | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Videos by keyword | kuaishou.videos.search | $0.0200 a page |
| Accounts by keyword | kuaishou.users.search | $0.0200 a page |
| One video: plays and engagement | kuaishou.videos.get | $0.0020 |
| Comments and replies | kuaishou.videos.comments.list, kuaishou.comments.replies.list | $0.0020 a page |
| An account and its videos | kuaishou.users.get, kuaishou.users.videos.list | $0.0200 a page, newest or most popular first |
| The hot list | kuaishou.trends.list | $0.0020, 50 trending terms |
What makes scraping Kuaishou hard?
The web pages want a device identity (parameters such as did and kww) and a login, and ask for verification once requests come fast. With a data API you send a key: no account, cookie or device.
For example, one page of video search and a page of comments under 20 of the videos is 1 × $0.0200 + 20 × $0.0020, $0.06 in all. A failed call is not charged.
Why DataXAPI
- Steady: endpoints were available 100% of the last 30 days, on a public status page you can check.
- Fast: a paid call took 3.4 seconds at the median over the last 7 days (counted 2026-11-06).
- Fewer tokens: across 8 endpoints on Kuaishou, one recorded real response each, the platform's own JSON comes to 271k tokens and what an AI reads through DataXAPI's MCP server to 12k, 95% fewer; the JSON of a direct API call is 93% fewer too (counted 2026-11-06). Every platform answers in one shape: the author in
author, counts inmetrics, the next page inpage.next_cursor, so another platform needs no new parser. - See before you pay: every endpoint's page shows a recorded real response, field by field.
- Spending you control: a failed call is not charged; each key can have a limit,
X-Max-Pricecaps one call, and the sameIdempotency-Keywithin 24 hours is never charged twice. - Ready for AI: a remote MCP server listed in the official MCP registry as
com.dataxapi/mcp, usable from Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT. - Free trial of up to 333 calls, no card.
Endpoints
Each with its price; every page has the parameters, the fields and a recorded response.
