What is Kuaishou?

Kuaishou (快手) is one of China's largest short-video platforms, with hundreds of millions of daily users and particularly deep reach outside China's tier-1 cities. It is known for down-to-earth creator content, livestream commerce, food, travel, rural life and local-business videos. This scraper gives you programmatic access to Kuaishou's search, videos, creators and comments so you can track trends, discover creators and analyze engagement at scale without a Kuaishou account.

Common use cases

• Trend tracking - watch what is rising on Kuaishou for any keyword.
• Creator (达人) discovery - find creators for a niche, then pull their profile and full video history.
• Competitor and brand monitoring - track a creator's uploads, engagement and comment sentiment.
• Market and AI research - build datasets of Chinese short-video content and comments.

Notes on reliability

• Cover, avatar and video file URLs are served by Kuaishou's CDN and expire; fetch them promptly.
• View, like and comment counts reflect what Kuaishou returns at scrape time.
• Keyword search returns the videos Kuaishou ranks for that keyword; very deep result sets may end earlier than maxItems.
• The publisher region (ip_location) is shown on search results and a creator's videos, but not on the single-video detail.
• A creator profile only carries the numeric user id, so profile_url is filled when you give the creator as a share-style id or profile URL.
• If a video or creator is private or deleted, that input is skipped and the run continues.

Can I use numeric and share-style IDs interchangeably? Yes - videoUrls and userUrls accept full URLs, share-style IDs and numeric IDs.
