Account object
36 endpoints on 17 platforms return the Account object with the same 11 fields, so code written for one platform reads the others unchanged. A call costs $0.0004 to $0.0400.
An Account is a user, a channel, a page or an official account on a platform: handle, display name, bio, and its counts of followers, following and posts. Profiles, user searches and the lists of followers, likers, retweeters and members all return it.
The author of a post or a comment points to an account by its id and username. A creator on Xingtu (星图) or PGY (蒲公英) is a separate object, Creator, which points to its account with account_id.
Fields
A field the platform cannot give is left out of the item and named in meta.unavailable. It is never filled with a guess or a zero.

Where each number comes from
The same field name does not always mean the same act on every platform. This table says which of the platform's own numbers goes into the field.

A platform stands against a field when none of its endpoints gives it.
