What you can build

Structured data for real applications. Here are some ideas.

Creator Profile Research

Pull public profile data for a Kwai account: bio, verification status, avatar, and owner counts for followers, likes, photos and follows.

Video Content Analysis

Collect video detail with MP4 and HLS manifests, cover frames, captions, durations and view, like, comment and share counts for trend and content research.

Keyword and Topic Monitoring

Track what ranks for a keyword or what is published under a topic or hashtag, with cursor pagination for repeatable snapshots over time.

Catalogue and Asset Discovery

Resolve an album to its photo list, or follow the related-video list of a video to map out the surrounding content graph.

Frequently asked questions

No. Every Kwai endpoint reads public data only. Scrappa needs no Kwai login, no cookies and no device registration, and never asks you for your credentials.

Because each one is a separate upstream lookup. Scrappa never hides extra fetches inside a single charge, so every request you make maps to exactly one lookup.

No. Media URLs are returned for you to fetch and are never cached or persisted by Scrappa. Fetch them promptly in your own pipeline.

A failed request is never billed. You receive a non-billable error with a failure type and a retry hint, and Scrappa rotates its proxy pool rather than rate limiting you.

No. Scrappa never rate limits customers. Capacity is added on our side instead of restricting your traffic.

Yes. Every Scrappa account gets 500 free credits per month with no credit card required.

Scrappa charges $0.20 per 1,000 requests with no daily caps. The free tier includes 500 credits per month to get started.
