Kwai & Kuaishou Scraper — Video, Profile, Search & Trending

Scrape Kwai and Kuaishou (快手) short-video data without a login, an API key, or a headless browser. Point it at a video, a creator, a keyword or a hashtag and get back clean, flat JSON: view/like/comment/share counts, playable MP4 URLs, creator stats, and China's Kuaishou trending hot board.

Why use this Kwai & Kuaishou Scraper

Kwai (Kuaishou's international app) and Kuaishou (China's #2 short-video platform) sit behind heavy anti-bot defenses and expose no public API. This Actor talks to the platforms' own web endpoints the way the site does, so you get the same numbers the apps show — exact follower counts, real view counts, and direct video URLs — at scale, with one clean row per item and no scraping infrastructure to run yourself.

• No login, no API key, no browser. A built-in residential proxy is included.
• Both platforms in one Actor — Kwai for the international/LATAM market, Kuaishou for China.
• Full numbers, not rounded — 2,587,582 fans, not "2.5M".
• Playable MP4 URLs on every video row for download or archival.
• Multilingual search — Chinese, English and mixed queries.

Kuaishou (kuaishou.com)

Use cases

• China & LATAM market research — track what's trending via keyword search and the Kuaishou hot board.
• Content-trend tracking — time-series of trending videos, hashtags and engagement velocity.
• Creator audits / due diligence — full posting history with per-video engagement metrics.
• Brand monitoring — detect branded content and measure its performance on Chinese short-video platforms.
• Video archival & repurposing — HTTPS-ready MP4 URLs for every video.

How it works

The Actor loads a browser-shaped session against each platform's own web endpoints and reads the same JSON the site renders from. Kwai's read endpoints are unsigned, so video, profile, creator, search and hashtag data come straight back. Kuaishou video detail is read from the mobile share page, and the trending hot board from the platform's public GraphQL. Every response is flattened to one stable row per item. Large numeric IDs are preserved as strings at full precision, and media URLs are normalized to HTTPS.

FAQ

Do I need a login or cookie? No. Every operation above works without one.

Can it scrape Kwai comments? Not in this version. Kwai's web comment endpoint is login-walled — it returns an empty list to guests. There is an optional, beta kwaiCookie input for users who supply their own logged-in cookie, but it is untested and not guaranteed.

Can it scrape Kuaishou search, profiles, or a creator's full video list? Not in this version. Those Kuaishou endpoints require the app's native request signature, which is outside this Actor's no-login, no-browser scope. Kuaishou video detail and the trending hot board both work. For Kwai, search, profiles and creator videos all work.

Why residential proxy? Kuaishou's trending board answers reliably only from a China-region exit; the Actor ships one, so you don't configure anything.

How is it billed? Per result row — you pay for the data you keep.
