## What you get

The first 4 rows of a response recorded 2026-11-06 16:41 UTC for 露营三兄弟.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| keyword | 露营三兄弟 |
| related_to | 露营 |
| relation | suggestion |
| rank | 1 |

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `keyword` | text | Yes | One keyword. Example: `露营`. |
| `view` | text |  | How much of each item to return. All three cost the same. Values: `compact`, `standard` (default), `full`. |
| `fields` | list of text |  | Return only these fields. Each by its path, such as `author.name`. |

## Returned fields

`data.items` is a list of related keyword objects. Preview: the structure may change, announced beforehand.

Three views: `compact` (the most used fields, long text cut short), `standard` (the default: every standard field) and `full` (adds `ext`, the platform's own fields). A field is in the view named and in every larger one.

| Field | Type | Description | From view | This endpoint |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `keyword` | text | The related keyword. | `compact` | Yes |
| `related_to` | text | The keyword it is related to: the one asked about. | `compact` | Yes |
| `relation` | text | How it is related: query (searched together with the keyword asked about), posts (appears together with it in content), prior (searched before it), after (searched after it), suggestion (what the platform suggests as the keyword is typed into its search box). Values: `query`, `posts`, `prior`, `after`, `suggestion`. | `compact` | Yes |
| `rank` | integer | Position by relevance among the keywords of the same relation, from 1. On this platform: Place among the suggestions the search box lists, from 1, the keyword asked about itself not counted. | `compact` | Yes |
| `relevance` | number | How closely it is related to the keyword asked about, 0 to 1. | `compact` | The platform has none |
| `search_index` | integer | Search index of the related keyword: the platform's index, not a count of searches; null where the platform gives no figure for the word. | `compact` | The platform has none |
| `composite_index` | integer | Composite index of the related keyword: the platform's index of how much attention content about it drew, not a count. | `compact` | The platform has none |
| `approximate` | list of object | Which numbers of this item are approximate or lower bounds; absent when all are exact. | `compact` | Yes |
| `approximate[].field` | text | Path of the field, such as metrics.views. | `compact` | Yes |
| `approximate[].kind` | text | Approximate, or a lower bound. Values: `approximate`, `lower_bound`. | `compact` | Yes |

A field with no value on an item is `null`. A field this endpoint cannot give is left out and listed in `meta.unavailable`.

Typical size of one item: `compact` 85 B, `standard` 85 B, `full` 85 B (measured on the response recorded 2026-11-06 16:41 UTC).

## Paging

About 10 items a page, 20 at most. The page size is the platform's; `limit` is not accepted.

Everything comes in one page; no cursor is issued.

## When you are charged

| Case | Charged |
| --- | --- |
| A result with data | $0.0200, once per call |
| Invalid parameters, a failure or a timeout | not charged |
| The most one call can cost | $0.0200 (send `X-Max-Price` to refuse anything above your own limit) |

Prices as read 2026-11-06 17:50 UTC, under price book 10, in effect since 2026-11-06 17:48 UTC; the Playground reads the price in force before a run.

## If the object does not exist

A keyword Douyin has no suggestions for returns an empty result, never a not-found error.

## Errors

Every error has the same structure: `code`, `message`, `charged`, `retry`, `retry_after_seconds`, `param`, `docs_url`.

`dataxapi setup` gives the agents on your machine (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) the DataXAPI MCP server and the base skill. The key is read from DATAXAPI_API_KEY; none is written into a file.

MCP server: `https://api.dataxapi.com/mcp`. The entry for your client is under MCP in the request examples of this page; then ask your agent to call `douyin.keywords.related`.
