404

Not Found

Kwai has no public data for this identifier. A not-found is a completed lookup that was not billed.

{
    "meta": {
        "attempts": 2,
        "billable": false,
        "retryable": false,
        "duration_ms": 1980
    },
    "error": {
        "code": "VIDEO_NOT_FOUND",
        "message": "Kwai has no video with this id.",
        "http_status": 404,
        "failure_type": "video_id_substituted"
    },
    "success": false
}
404

Profile Not Found

Kwai has no public profile for this handle. A not-found is a completed lookup that was not billed.

{
    "meta": {
        "attempts": 1,
        "billable": false,
        "retryable": false,
        "duration_ms": 860

        "message": "Kwai has no public profile for this handle.",

    },
    "success": false
}
422

Upstream Rejected The Request

Kwai rejected the request body as malformed. Retrying will not change the outcome, so the request is sent once and is not billed.

{
    "meta": {
        "attempts": 1,
        "billable": false,
        "retryable": false,
        "duration_ms": 1120
    },
    "error": {
        "code": "INVALID_PARAMETER",
        "message": "Kwai could not process this request. Retrying will not change the outcome.",
        "http_status": 422,
        "failure_type": "invalid_parameter_format"
    },
    "success": false
}
422

Validation Error

A required parameter is missing or malformed.

{
    "errors": {
        "user": [
            "The Kwai handle is required."
        ]
    },
    "message": "The request validation failed"
}
