Query Parameter Patterns

Most endpoints follow simple, consistent patterns:

| Pattern | Parameter | Example | | ------------------- | -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | | Profile by handle | ?handle=username | /v1/tiktok/profile?handle=khaby.lame | | Profile by URL | ?url=<profile-url> | /v1/linkedin/profile?url=https://linkedin.com/in/user | | Content by URL | ?url=<content-url> | /v1/youtube/video?url=https://youtube.com/watch?v=abc | | Search | ?query=<term> | /v1/reddit/search?query=artificial+intelligence | | Hashtag search | ?hashtag=<tag> | /v1/tiktok/search/hashtag?hashtag=cooking | | Keyword search | ?keyword=<word> | /v1/tiktok/search/keyword?keyword=dance | | Pagination | ?cursor=<token> | /v3/tiktok/profile/videos?handle=user&cursor=abc123 | | YT Pagination | ?continuationToken=| /v1/youtube/video/comments?url=...&continuationToken=x | | Transcript lang | ?language=<code> | /v1/youtube/video/transcript?url=...&language=es | | Subreddit | ?subreddit=<name> | /v1/reddit/subreddit?subreddit=AskReddit |

Best Practices

1. Use handles when available: Profile endpoints accept ?handle=username which is simpler than full URLs
2. Paginate large results: Use cursor or continuationToken from responses to fetch additional pages
3. Use userId for speed: Instagram and Bluesky endpoints respond faster with userId than handle
4. Transcript languages: Pass ?language=en (2-letter ISO code) for transcript endpoints — defaults to original language
5. Reddit case sensitivity: Subreddit names are case-sensitive (use AskReddit not askreddit)
6. Facebook group limits: Group posts return only 3 at a time due to Facebook API restrictions
7. LinkedIn company post limits: Company posts max out at 7 pages due to LinkedIn restrictions
8. Google ad details pricing: /v1/google/company/ads with get_ad_details=true costs $0.50 (25 credits) instead of $0.02
