The response reference lists every field, its type and when it is null. See the full schema.
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 channel or user: a bare name (Bongino: a channel, else the user of that name), c/<name> for a channel or user/<name> 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-<channel id> name (c/c-276782, which every channel has).
Write one parser
Rumble, TikTok, Instagram and 24 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all.
platformstring- Platform ID (tiktok, youtube, …).
idstring- Platform-native account ID (string; YouTube UC…, Reddit t2_…).
usernamestring- Handle without the @; null when the account has none.
display_namestring- Display name, channel title or page name; null when empty or not exposed.
urlstring- Canonical profile URL.
typestring- Coarse account kind, as the platform labels it; unknown when it does not (TikTok labels organizations only). New values may be added; treat unknown values as unknown.
biostring- Profile bio, channel description or page about text; null when empty or not exposed.
avatar_urlstring- Profile picture URL (largest available). Platform CDN URLs can expire within hours.
Live data from 33 platforms.

Good to know before you build.
- Rumble has channels (rumble.com/c/<name>) and users (rumble.com/user/<name>, the uploader account that owns channels). A bare name is looked up as a channel first, then as a user; send c/<name> or user/<name> to choose. platform_specific.rumble.account_type says which one answered.
- id is Rumble's own reference: _c<channel number> for a channel, _u<user number in base 36> for a user, the same string the Rumble Video API and the Rumble Search API return as author.id. Channels and users are numbered separately (platform_specific.rumble.numeric_id), so only id is unambiguous. A channel's id is accepted as handle; a user's is not (send its name).
- username is a channel's name as Rumble spells it, or user/<name> for a user, the same as author.username on the Rumble Video API and the Rumble Search API, so it can be sent back as handle.
- metrics.follower_count is the count the page header shows: from a thousand up it is cut to three significant figures, so it can be under the real count but never over, and is listed in approximate_fields. Video and view counts are exact.
- created_at is the start, in UTC, of the day Rumble shows as the join date, listed in approximate_fields: Rumble shows the day only.
- type is unknown, and location, country_code, category, metrics.following_count and metrics.total_like_count are null: Rumble doesn't show them. is_private is false: Rumble has no private accounts.
- Names that are no channel or user return not_found.
