FAQ

About the Zhihu Search articles API

The AnyAPI Zhihu Search articles API returns Zhihu search articles data as normalized JSON from one POST call to /v1/run/zhihu.search_articles. Search public Zhihu articles by keyword with normalized author and engagement data. AnyAPI returns one normalized schema whichever source serves it. It costs from $1.20 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Over the last 30 days, 100.0% of Zhihu search articles calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 2.2 seconds across 15 measured calls.

It costs from $1.20 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. You fund one USD wallet and each call draws it down. Some failed wallet-funded requests incur processing charges that we pass through at cost, with no markup; the error response shows the amount charged.

Search public Zhihu articles by keyword with normalized author and engagement data. The response is normalized JSON with the same envelope every AnyAPI endpoint returns, so parsing a second endpoint is a change of URL and nothing else.

Over the last 30 days, 100.0% of Zhihu search articles calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 2.2 seconds across 15 measured calls. These are AnyAPI's own measurements of traffic through the gateway, recomputed continuously, not a published service-level target.

Yes. A new AnyAPI account starts with $0.10 of free balance and no card required, which covers 83 Zhihu Search articles calls at $0.0012 each.

Send a POST request to https://api.getanyapi.com/v1/run/zhihu.search_articles with your AnyAPI key in an "Authorization: Bearer" header and the input as a JSON body. The same key and the same wallet work on every AnyAPI endpoint.

No. You add US dollars to one prepaid AnyAPI balance and each request draws it down. There is no monthly plan and no minimum, and the same balance pays for every AnyAPI endpoint.

Yes. Install @getanyapi/sdk from npm for TypeScript or getanyapi from pip for Python. Both call every AnyAPI endpoint with the same key, and any HTTP client works too.

Yes. An agent can connect to the AnyAPI MCP server at https://api.getanyapi.com/mcp, or create its own free-trial key with one unauthenticated POST to https://api.getanyapi.com/agent/signup and call this endpoint over HTTP.
