Usage notes

Good for

  • Use it to add limited context for an already relevant public account.

Not for

  • Do not use it for deanonymization, sensitive profiling, surveillance, screening, or trust scores.

Known limitations

  • Karma is not an exact vote count or credibility score.
  • Counts are point-in-time snapshots and may be missing.
  • Only allowlisted public fields are returned.

Billing
