Field mapping#

How this endpoint's source fields become Onekey's unified schema. Fields the source lacks come back as null.

Source path	Onekey field	Transform
`did`	`author.id`	-
`handle`	`author.username`	-
`displayName`	`author.displayName`	-
`followersCount`	`author.followers`	`toNumber`
`followsCount`	`author.following`	`toNumber`
`postsCount`	`engagement.comments`	`toNumber`
`description`	`content.text`	-
`avatar`	`author.avatarUrl`	`safeUrl`

Caching and freshness#

Fresh for about 30 minutes. Repeat calls in that window are served from cache and are free.
Between 30 minutes and 6 hours the cached copy is still served instantly and marked stale: true while Onekey refreshes it in the background.
If the source is down when a refresh is needed, the last copy can be served for up to 1 day more (marked stale).
A "not found" is remembered for 5 minutes and is free.
The cache is shared across all customers, which is what keeps repeat calls cheap.

What can go wrong#

422	`invalid_params`	Fix the parameters using the table above. Free.
