Kuaishou (China)

Kuaishou Comment Replies API

Expand one comment thread on a Kuaishou (China) video: every reply under a root comment, with reply text, author, IP-location province, who they answered and like count, as JSON. Costs 1 credit per page, cursor-paginated, and count sizes the page up to 50. Check Video Comments first — it already ships the first replies to the hottest comments for free, so only pay for this when the map has no entry for the comment you want.

POST/api/v1/kuaishou/video/sub-comments

Authorizations

Authorizationstringheaderrequired

Bearer authentication header of the form Bearer <token>, where <token> is your Scavio API key (e.g. Bearer sk_live_your_key).

Body

application/json

photo_idstringrequired

Kuaishou photo (video) id the root comment sits on, non-empty. It must be the same video the comment came from — a mismatched pair is not an error, it just returns nothing and still bills.

Example: 5218546261880462502

root_comment_idstringrequired

Id of the top-level comment whose replies you want. Take it from rootComments[].comment_id on the Video Comments response. Only comments with subCommentCount greater than 0 have anything to fetch.

Example: 846691923381

cursorstring

Opaque pagination cursor. Omit it for the first page, then pass back the pcursor value from the previous response. The response field is called pcursor, not next_cursor. A pcursor of "no_more" means there are no further pages.

Example: V1-1006-1-eyJwaG90b0lkIjoxMzU2NTA2ODIwNTMs…

countinteger

Replies per page, 1 to 50 inclusive. Omit it to take Kuaishou's own default. Anything above 50 is rejected with a 400 before the request is billed.

Example: 50
