# Rumble Channel API Rumble Beta Returns a public Rumble channel or user: Rumble's own ID for it (the one Rumble's video data names the uploader by) and its name, display name, description, avatar, banner, verification badge, the social links it lists with their labels, its join date, follower count and exact video and lifetime view counts, and which kind of account it is with the ID of the user who owns it. Accepts a channel or user name, any channel or user link with any tab, or a channel's ID. GET `/v1/rumble/profile` ## Example cURL: ```shell curl -G 'https://staging.socialtap.dev/v1/rumble/profile' \ --data-urlencode 'handle=Bongino' \ -H "x-api-key: $SOCIALTAP_API_KEY" ``` Node.js: ```javascript const params = new URLSearchParams({ handle: "Bongino", }); const res = await fetch(`https://staging.socialtap.dev/v1/rumble/profile?${params}`, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.SOCIALTAP_API_KEY ??

Keys starting with `st_test_` are [test keys](https://staging.socialtap.dev/docs/test-mode/index.md): recorded responses, free. [Authentication](https://staging.socialtap.dev/docs/authentication/index.md) ## Query parameters | Name | Type | Description | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `handle` required | `string`
max 2,048 chars | Rumble channel or user: a bare name (Bongino: a channel, else the user of that name), c/\ for a channel or user/\ for a user, any channel or user link with any tab after it (rumble.com/c/Bongino, rumble.com/c/Bongino/videos, rumble.com/user/vivafrei/about, the root rumble.com/Bongino link), or a channel's id as this API returns it (_c276782) or its c/c-\ name (c/c-276782, which every channel has). A user's _u… id is refused: Rumble's public pages cannot look a user up by ID, so send its name. Names are case-insensitive. | `Bongino` | `handle` takes Rumble profile links; another kind of link, or another platform's, fails free with [`invalid_input`](https://staging.socialtap.dev/docs/errors/index.md#invalid_input). Unknown parameters are rejected with a suggestion, never ignored ([Requests](https://staging.socialtap.dev/docs/requests/index.md)). **Parameters every endpoint accepts** | Name | Type | Description | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `max_age` optional | `integer`
min 0 | Accept a cached response up to this many seconds old. Cache hits cost 0 credits. Omit to always fetch fresh. The Cache-Control: max-age=N request header is equivalent; max_age wins when both are sent. | — | | `fields` optional | `string` | Return only these fields of each item: comma-separated paths in the schema's notation (id,text,metrics.view_count,segments\[\].text; a parent path keeps the whole object). Unknown paths are rejected. Applied after the cache, so it changes neither the price nor cache hits; page and meta are always returned whole. | — | ## Response ### 200 `{data, meta}`. `data` is a [profile](https://staging.socialtap.dev/resources/profile/index.md) object; `meta` describes the request ([meta](https://staging.socialtap.dev/docs/reference/index.md#meta)). Fields only Rumble has are under `platform_specific.rumble`. | Field | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `data.platform` | `string` | Platform ID (tiktok, youtube, …). | | `data.id` | `string` | Platform-native account ID (string; YouTube UC…, Reddit without t2_). | | `data.username` | `string` or `null` | Handle without the @; null when the account has none. | | `data.display_name` | `string` or `null` | Display name, channel title or page name; null when empty or not exposed. | | `data.url` | `string` (uri) | Canonical profile URL. | | `data.type` | `string` | Coarse account kind, as the platform labels it; unknown when it does not (TikTok labels organizations only).

One of `person`, `organization`, `community`, `unknown` | | `data.bio` | `string` or `null` | Profile bio, channel description or page about text; null when empty or not exposed. | | `data.avatar_url` | `string` (uri) or `null` | Profile picture URL (largest available). Platform CDN URLs can expire within hours. | | `data.banner_url` | `string` (uri) or `null` | Header or cover image URL. | | `data.is_verified` | `boolean` or `null` | Platform verification badge; null where the platform has no badge. | | `data.is_private` | `boolean` or `null` | True when the account's posts are not public. | | `data.category` | `string` or `null` | Platform category label (e.g. Musician, Media & Entertainment), as shown; not normalized. Often set only for business or creator accounts. | | `data.external_links` | `object[]` | Links in the bio or channel links; \[\] if none or not exposed. | | `data.external_links[].url` | `string` (uri) | Link target, absolute (https:// is added where the platform stores the link without a scheme). | | `data.external_links[].title` | `string` or `null` | Link label shown by the platform. | | `data.location` | `string` or `null` | Self-declared location text. | | `data.country_code` | `string` or `null` | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country the platform states for the account. | | `data.created_at` | `string` (date-time) or `null` | Account creation or join date, RFC 3339 UTC (some platforms give only the day: see approximate_fields). | | `data.metrics` | `object` | Counts at fetch time; null = hidden or not exposed, 0 = zero. | | `data.metrics.follower_count` | `integer` or `null` | Followers or subscribers. | | `data.metrics.following_count` | `integer` or `null` | Accounts this profile follows. | | `data.metrics.post_count` | `integer` or `null` | Posts or videos as the platform counts them on the profile (for a private account, posts the caller cannot see). | | `data.metrics.total_like_count` | `integer` or `null` | Likes received across all of the profile's posts (not likes given). | | `data.metrics.total_view_count` | `integer` or `null` | Lifetime views across all of the profile's posts. | | `data.platform_specific` | `object` | Fields only this platform has, under its ID (platform_specific.\); each null when unknown. | | `data.platform_specific.rumble` | `object` or `null` | A Rumble channel's or user's own fields (core/profile_rumble.go). | | `data.platform_specific.rumble.account_type` | `string` or `null` | channel for a Rumble channel (rumble.com/c/\), user for a Rumble user (rumble.com/user/\: the account that uploads, which can own channels). Null when unknown. New values may be added; treat unknown values as unknown.
One of `channel`, `user` | | `data.platform_specific.rumble.numeric_id` | `string` or `null` | Rumble's numeric ID of the channel or the user, in decimal (the channel's is the number in its rumble.com/c/c-\ link). Channels and users are numbered separately, so the same number can name a channel and a user: id is the unambiguous reference. Null when unknown. | | `data.platform_specific.rumble.user_id` | `string` or `null` | The id of the Rumble user that owns the channel (_u…, the id this endpoint answers for that user); for a user, its own id. Channels of one owner share it. Null when the page does not show it. | | `data.approximate_fields` | `string[]` | JSON paths of values rounded by the platform or parsed from display text (e.g. metrics.follower_count). A list path (external_links) means the list may be incomplete. \[\] when all exact. | | `data.unknown_fields` | `string[]` | JSON paths of lists whose \[\] means unknown rather than none (a source that cannot see them); null already means unknown for every other field. \[\] when every list is known. | not_found and private_or_unavailable are item-level: the request was fine, the item can't be returned. ### 400 400 Bad Request: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `invalid_input` | 400 | No | The request parameters are missing or malformed, or the URL is not a supported link for this endpoint. | Fix the parameter named in param (the message says how); for a link of the wrong kind, call the endpoint the message names. | ### 401 401 Unauthorized: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `unauthorized` | 401 | No | The x-api-key header is missing, unknown or revoked (or, on the dashboard's routes, the session cookie is missing or expired). | Send a valid API key in the x-api-key header; without one, get a key at details.signup_url (AI agents: POST details.agent_signup_url). | ### 402 402 Payment Required: 2 error codes. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `insufficient_credits` | 402 | No | The account does not have enough credits for this request. | Buy credits (a human pays: details.purchase_url, or details.checkout makes a checkout link), then repeat the request; do not retry automatically. | | `spend_limit_reached` | 402 | No | The API key reached its spend limit for the current period; the account may still have credits. | Wait until details.resets_at or raise the key's spend limit (PATCH /v1/api_keys/{id}); do not retry automatically. | ### 403 403 Forbidden: 2 error codes. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `forbidden` | 403 | No | The API key is valid but may not make this request: its account is suspended, its scopes do not include the route, it is waiting for its owner's email confirmation, it is past its expiry, or the request came from an IP its allowlist does not include. A running job stops the same way when its account is suspended or the key that created it is revoked or expires. It is about the key, never the item (a private item is private_or_unavailable, also 403): branch on the code. | Do what details.reason says: if suspended, contact [support](https://staging.socialtap.dev/docs/index.md); otherwise use a key whose scopes cover the route (details.required_scope), have the owner confirm the emailed link, create a new key, or call from an allowed IP. | | `private_or_unavailable` | 403 | No | The item exists but is private, age- or region-gated, or requires a login to view. It shares 403 with forbidden (which is about the key): branch on the code. | Only public items can be fetched; do not retry. | ### 404 404 Not Found: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `not_found` | 404 | No | The item does not exist or was deleted. | Check the URL or ID; do not retry. | ### 429 429 Too Many Requests: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `rate_limited` | 429 | Yes, later | The account exceeded its runaway-protection ceiling: plans do not limit request rate, but a high per-account safety ceiling stops broken client loops. Support raises it on request. Without an API key (signup, the MCP server's tool listing and find_endpoint), requests are limited per IP address instead. | Wait for the number of seconds in the retry-after header, then retry; ask [support](https://staging.socialtap.dev/docs/index.md) to raise the ceiling if your sustained traffic needs more (calls without an API key: use one). | ### 500 500 Internal Error: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `internal` | 500 | Yes, later | Unexpected SocialTap error. | Retry with backoff; contact [support](https://staging.socialtap.dev/docs/index.md) with the request_id if it persists. | ### 502 502 Bad Gateway: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `upstream_error` | 502 | Yes, later | The platform failed or returned something unexpected. | Retry with backoff; failed requests are free. | ### 503 503 Unavailable: 2 error codes. Free: errors cost nothing. | Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `upstream_blocked` | 503 | Yes, later | The platform refused every attempt. | Retry later with backoff; failed requests are free. | | `overloaded` | 503 | Yes, later | SocialTap was momentarily at capacity and did not start the request: nothing was fetched or charged. | Retry after the number of seconds in the retry-after header; failed requests are free. | ## Pricing From **1 credit** per request. Charged only for successful requests. Errors are free. The price depends on the source that produced the result, reported as `meta.source`. | Source | Price per successful request | Per 1,000 requests | | --- | --- | --- | | Public page `page` | 1 credit | $0.75–$1.45 | **Balance, sources and what you were charged** Your balance must be at least **1 credit** to start a request; with less, it is refused with [`insufficient_credits`](https://staging.socialtap.dev/docs/errors/index.md#insufficient_credits) (HTTP 402) and costs nothing. Only that minimum is set aside when the request starts. | meta.source | Source | What it means | | --- | --- | --- | | `page` | Public page | Data embedded in the platform's public web page. | `meta.credits_charged` and the `x-credits-charged` header show what you paid.
