  • Cost: 1 credit
  • Cache: Results are kept up to 30 days; send max_age_days to reuse them for free.
  • Timeout: A request still running after about 25 seconds answers 202 with a job to poll (Batch and jobs).

Parameters#

NameTypeRequiredDescription
urlURLyesPublic collection URL (cosmos.so/<user>/<collection>). Accepted hosts: cosmos.so.

Every request also accepts:

  • trim: true for a smaller response without null fields and extra.

  • max_age_days: accept a cached result up to this many days old, for 0 credits (Caching).

Response#

A Collection object in data.

See Data models for every field. The envelope around data is described in Responses.

Errors#

Failures are free: credits_charged is 0. Branch on error.code, never on the message.

CodeHTTPRetryMeaning
invalid_params400noA parameter is missing, unknown or has the wrong type.
unsupported_url400noThe URL is not one this endpoint accepts (wrong platform or form).
not_found404noThe platform says this profile, post or item does not exist.

Every request can also fail with the account and platform errors listed on the Errors page.

Example error:

1{2  "ok": false,3  "error": {4    "code": "not_found",5    "message": "The platform says this profile, post or item does not exist.",6    "retryable": false7  },8  "credits_charged": 0,9  "request_id": "req_b0943aa2575e1fc37cebb76a"10}

These paths answer the same request, so code written for other APIs keeps working: /v1/cosmos/cluster. See Switching from ScrapeCreators.
