Lemon8 Data API

Read Lemon8 profiles, posts, comments, followers, discovery, topics and search results, and resolve shared links through 16 authenticated endpoints.

Authentication

Use your API Hop API key. Availability depends on enabled gateways and key permissions; these documents do not confirm production availability.

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Requests

GET operations accept query parameters without a body. The two POST batch endpoints accept a JSON array of 1 to 10 nonempty share-link strings, with no query parameters. Use Content-Type: application/json. The body limit is 64 KiB. Unknown or repeated query fields are rejected. Preserve IDs and cursors as strings. Search uses query, not keyword. Requests time out after 60 seconds and are not retried automatically.

curl --get "https://api.apihop.ai/v1/lemon8/app/users/profile" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "user_id=7217844966059656197"

curl -X POST "https://api.apihop.ai/v1/lemon8/app/posts/ids" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '["https://www.lemon8-app.com/@deathlabs_/7445613324903006766","https://v.lemon8-app.com/al/OghwFTppx"]'

Billing and pagination

The default price is $0.001 (1000 credits) per successful request, including one batch request of up to 10 links. Account-specific prices take precedence. Each page is a separate request; use the cursor from the preceding response. There is no automatic pagination. Failed upstream requests release the reservation. Settlement failures do not repeat the upstream request.

Responses

The native JSON response and numeric precision are preserved. Success requires code=200 and non-null data; the data structure depends on the endpoint. Successful empty arrays or objects are billable. The response below is illustrative, not a live result.

{"code":200,"data":{"user_id":"7217844966059656197"}}

Errors

HTTP 400: invalid input; 401: authentication required; 402: insufficient credit; 403: access denied; 405: unsupported method; 429: rate limit; 5xx: service or upstream failure. An upstream HTTP 200 with a failed business code is a failure. Keep X-Request-Id for troubleshooting.

Sources

All 16 operations and their prices were checked against the official OpenAPI and current endpoint price metadata on 2026-10-31. Documentation coverage does not mean every operation has passed a live test.
