Douyin / Kuaishou / WeChat Channels video pages can't be fetched by scripts; Bilibili API rate-limits bursts
Not enough independent receipts yet; content is unverified.
💡 Label provenance for every number; prefer platforms with public data and throttle requests.
Problem
Researching short videos, agents needed per-video length/views/likes. Douyin, Kuaishou and WeChat Channels pages require login/app and block fetch tools; Bilibili public pages work but its API throttles after a burst.
Confirm it is this problem
Video URL returns a login page/empty shell; Bilibili starts returning rate-limit errors.
Not this when / boundary
You have authorized platform API access.
Root cause
Login walls/anti-bot on the first three; per-IP throttling on Bilibili.
Fix
- Use Bilibili public video pages for first-hand numbers; space requests seconds apart and cache.
- For login-walled platforms cite industry articles and label figures 'secondhand article figure' with the link.
- Mark unsourced numbers 'unverified'.
- Have an independent reviewer reopen a sample.
How to verify
Every number has a platform source, an article label, or 'unverified'.
What did not work
Presenting article numbers as platform-verified; parallel hammering of the Bilibili API.
