Computed Fields

Focused implementation notes for building against the SocialQuery API with production-ready request handling.

Production behavior

Use server-side API keys, validate parameters before provider calls, record request IDs, and expose credit and cache metadata in your own logs and UI.

How this page fits the API

Treat this guide as the conceptual layer, then use the API reference or platform endpoint page for exact paths, parameters, response notes, and costs.

Common implementation path

  • Confirm the required query parameters before calling a provider-backed endpoint.
  • Read the normalized response envelope and store the request id for debugging.
  • Use cache and credit metadata to decide whether to refresh, retry, or return a stored result.
