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
`key`	`author.id`	-
`username`	`author.username`	-
`name`	`author.displayName`	-
`url`	`author.url`	`safeUrl`
`pictures.large`	`author.avatarUrl`	`safeUrl`
`biog`	`content.text`	-
`follower_count`	`author.followers`	`toNumber`
`following_count`	`author.following`	`toNumber`
`cloudcast_count`	`author.contentCount`	`toNumber`
`created_time`	`content.createdAt`	`toIsoDate`
`is_pro`	`author.verified`	`toBoolean`

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#

Status	Code	What to do
401	`unauthorized`	Check the `x-api-key` header.
402	`insufficient_credits`	Add credits; your balance must cover the price.
404	`not_found`	That record does not exist. Free; do not retry.
422	`invalid_params`	Fix the parameters using the table above. Free.
429	`rate_limited`	Wait `Retry-After` seconds, then retry.
