SocialCrawl exposes 3 Kwai endpoints — profile, user posts, and post details.

Kwai is Kuaishou's international short-video app and the #1 short-video platform in Brazil and much of Latin America.

SocialCrawl is the Kwai data API: 3 endpoints for creator profiles, paginated post feeds, and single-video details, all returned in the same unified JSON schema SocialCrawl uses for TikTok.
