Usage notes

Good for

Use it to analyze a channel's short-form content on its own.

Not for

Do not use it for long-form video lists or downloads.

Known limitations

Pages hold about 30 Shorts with only title and view-count text.
Only the returned DataXAPI cursor can continue the same query.
Counts are point-in-time public snapshots, not live or historical trends.

Billing

¥0.02 per call. Nonempty complete results are charged; empty, partial, and failed results are not.
