Search capabilities (start here)
The entry point to every BeatAPI capability: social media data (小红书 Xiaohongshu, 抖音 Douyin, TikTok, B站 Bilibili, 微博 Weibo, X, Instagram, YouTube and more), text, image, video and decision (JEV) models, web search and media workflows. Free, needs no key and never executes anything.
Write query the way the user would say it, platform + action, in Chinese or
English: 小红书 搜索笔记, 抖音 用户作品, tiktok user profile, video model.
A whole sentence works; words that match nothing are ignored and listed in
understood.ignored. A query that names only a platform (or group_by: function)
returns an overview in groups; an empty query returns the catalogue map.
Zero matches return hints on how to rephrase.
Results are compact cards by default (view: full returns complete contracts).
Every reply carries next, the exact call to make next — usually Inspect on the
best match. Copy references exactly; never build one.
ヘッダー
Dialect of next: http (default) writes a curl command, mcp writes a capabilities tool call. The BeatAPI MCP server sends mcp.
