Kwai Scraper

Scrape Kwai (kwai.com) into clean, structured data. Pull full video detail, creator profiles, comment threads, and keyword search results in a single run. No login, no cookies, no API key. You pay only for the results you get.

Why this scraper

Most Kwai and Kuaishou scrapers either return a thin field set or run on residential proxies and charge accordingly. This one extracts the full public payload Kwai's own website ships, including engagement counts, every video stream variant, music metadata, cover images, dimensions, and creator branding. Because it runs on plain HTTP, the price is among the lowest on the platform.

It targets kwai.com, the international app used across Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia. Handles like @jadebelchior905 work directly; you do not need internal numeric IDs.

What you can scrape

• Search any keyword and get matching videos with full engagement metrics.
• Video detail from a URL or ID: the complete record for a single video.
• Profiles from a creator URL.
• Comments on any video, with content, like counts, and timestamps.

Pricing

You pay per result. Compute and any proxy cost are absorbed by us.

Event	Price (per 1,000)
List / search result	from $1.49
Video detail result	from $4.49
Comment result	from $1.49

Higher volume tiers reduce these rates automatically.

Performance

Runs on plain HTTP, so it is fast and light. A typical run uses well under 100 MB of memory. Search and comment endpoints are paginated; the scraper stops at your maxItems and maxCommentsPerVideo caps.

Limitations

• transcript is only present when Kwai itself provides one.
• Search returns videos, not users.
• Comment author identities are omitted by design.

Technical details

The scraper reads the server-rendered data Kwai embeds in its own pages and the public web endpoints its site calls. Video IDs are returned as strings to avoid the precision loss that affects large numeric IDs in JSON.
