Kwai
Kwai profiles, user feeds, and single post detail. Short-form video coverage for Brazil, Latin America and Southeast Asia
Kwai is Kuaishou's international short-video app, and it is where a large share of Brazilian, Latin American and Southeast Asian short-form creators publish, audiences that barely register on TikTok's international index. Three endpoints cover it, all 1 credit.
Base URL: /v1/kwai/...
Kwai post URLs take the form kwai.com/@{handle}/photo/{id} for videos as
well as photos. Do not filter on the /photo/ path segment to detect media
type.
Quickstart
1. Fetch a profile
curl "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/kwai/profile?handle=KwaiBrasilOficial" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"2. Fetch their content
curl "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/kwai/user/posts?handle=KwaiBrasilOficial&count=50" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"3. Read computed fields
When an endpoint supports a computed field and the required source inputs are present, the unified response includes that optional field. Depending on the endpoint, optional fields can include engagement_rate, language, content_category, and estimated_reach. See Computed fields for formulas, clamping rules, and null semantics.
Accounts and posts
| Endpoint | Credits | What it returns | Key parameters |
|---|---|---|---|
GET /v1/kwai/profile | 1 | Username, bio, avatar, verification, and follower, following, like and post counts | handle or url |
GET /v1/kwai/user/posts | 1 | A page of public posts: caption, video and cover URLs, engagement counts, author | handle or url, count (max 50), cursor |
GET /v1/kwai/post | 1 | One video in full, including the music track used | url |
Accounts are addressable by handle without the @ or by profile url. One of the two is required, and sending neither is a 400 before billing.
user/posts is the endpoint to walk when you are building a creator's history: the response carries a cursor to pass back for the next page.
The music track is the reason to reach for post over a feed row when you are tracking a sound.

Platform notes
Post URLs say /photo/ even for videos. A Kwai post URL takes the form kwai.com/@{handle}/photo/{id} regardless of media type, so do not filter on the path segment.
There is no keyword search and no comment endpoint here. Discovery and comment threads are not covered on this platform. Start from a handle or a URL you already have. For cross-platform keyword discovery, /v1/search/everywhere is the right call.
Regional coverage is the point. If you are researching a Brazilian or Southeast Asian creator and TikTok's index looks thin, checking Kwai for the same handle is usually worth one credit.
Only user/posts paginates, and it does so with the universal cursor.
