Long arrays and strings are shortened here. Real responses are complete.

## One schema on 21 platforms.

The [response reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/rumble/post/index.md#response) lists every field, its type and when it is `null`. [See the full schema](https://socialtap.dev/resources/post/index.md).

- ### Null means unknown

  A field Rumble doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero.
- ### What it accepts

  Rumble video, short or live stream URL (rumble.com/v…-title.html, /shorts/v…, /share/v…, /embed/v…/) or a video ID (v…).
- ### Write one parser

  Rumble, TikTok, Instagram and 18 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all.

- **`platform`string**: Platform ID (tiktok, youtube, …).
- **`id`string**: Platform-native post ID (string; Instagram shortcode, Reddit with its t3_ prefix).
- **`url`string**: Canonical post URL.
- **`type`string**: Normalized content shape. New values may be added; treat unknown values as other.
- **`platform_type`string**: The platform's own product label, lowercase (reel, short, story, live, tweet, …).
- **`title`string**: Headline (YouTube title, Reddit title); null on caption-only platforms.
- **`text`string**: Caption, description or body as plain text.
- **`language`string**: BCP-47 language of text, when the platform states it.

Live data from 33 platforms.

## What teams build with the Rumble Video API.

- ### Track views, likes and dislikes over time
- ### Monitor live streams and their viewers
- ### Collect video files and caption tracks
- ### Enrich Rumble links with titles and channels

## Good to know before you build.

- On a video's page Rumble cuts dislike, comment and follower counts from a thousand up to three significant digits, so each can be at most one unit in its last digit under the real count; those are listed in approximate_fields.
- Likes are exact when dislikes are, worked out from the rating bar. Views, and every count of a short, are exact.
- metrics.comment_count is the count the video's page shows, which can be lower than the total Rumble's own lists give for the same video, and null when the page shows none.
- platform_specific.rumble.embed_id is the player's ID: /embed/ links use it, and it differs from id.
- platform_type is short, live (streams on air, scheduled or past) or video.
