Rumble

Rumble Engagement API

Use with AI

Returns a Rumble channel's or user's engagement rate per follower and per view, computed over its latest videos, shorts or live streams. The same request returns the profile, each video with its exact counts and its own rate compared with the account's typical video, views, likes, comments and reposts per video, median views, comment-to-like ratio, posting cadence, and the top and bottom video. Accepts a channel or user name, any channel or user link, or a channel ID.

Your API key. Authentication

Query parameters

handlestringrequiredmax 2,048 chars

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. 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.

ExampleBongino

tabstring

The uploads the figures cover: videos (default: the Videos tab), shorts, or live (Rumble's Livestreams tab: past streams, with the one on air and scheduled ones, whose counts are still growing). Many Rumble shows stream live, so their Livestreams tab is where most of their audience is.

One ofvideosshortslive

Examplelive

handle takes Rumble profile links; another kind of link, or another platform's, fails free with invalid_input. Unknown parameters are rejected with a suggestion, never ignored (Requests).

Parameters every endpoint accepts
max_ageintegermin 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.

fieldsstring

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

application/json

{data, meta}. data is a engagement object; meta describes the request (meta). The fields are the shared engagement schema, the same on all 6 platforms that serve it.

platformstring

idstring

Platform-native account ID (equals profile.id).

urlstring uri

Canonical profile URL (equals profile.url).

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.

invalid_inputNo retry

A parameter is missing or malformed, or the link is not one this endpoint takes.

Fix the parameter named in param as the message says. For a link of the wrong kind, call an endpoint listed in details.endpoints, when there is one.

401

401 Unauthorized: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing.

unauthorizedNo retry

The x-api-key header is missing, or its key is unknown or revoked. On the dashboard's routes: the session cookie is missing or expired.

Send a valid API key in the x-api-key header. No key yet? A person gets one at details.signup_url; an AI agent follows details.agent_auth_url.

402

402 Payment Required: 2 error codes. Free: errors cost nothing.

insufficient_creditsNo retry

The account does not have enough credits for this request.

Have a person buy credits at details.purchase_url (or make them a checkout link with details.checkout), then repeat the request. Do not retry automatically.

spend_limit_reachedNo retry

The API key reached its spend limit for this 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.

forbiddenNo retry

The API key is valid but may not make this request, and details.reason says why: the account is suspended, the key lacks the route's scope, waits for its owner to confirm it by email, has expired, or was used from an IP outside its allowlist, or a rotated key's previous secret was used for a call that needs the admin scope. A running job stops with it too 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, so branch on the code.

Act on details.reason. suspended: contact support. scope: use a key with details.required_scope. previous_secret: use the new secret. key_pending: have the owner open the emailed link. key_expired or key_revoked: create a new key. ip_not_allowed: call from an allowed IP.

private_or_unavailableNo retry

The item exists but is not public: it is private, age- or region-restricted, or needs a login to view. It shares 403 with forbidden (which is about the key), so branch on the code.

Only public items can be fetched. Do not retry.

404

404 Not Found: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing.

not_foundNo retry

The item does not exist or was deleted. On GET /v1/requests/{id}/response: the response was not kept (details.reason says why).

Check the link or ID. Do not retry.

429

429 Too Many Requests: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing.

rate_limitedYes, later

The account passed its runaway-protection ceiling: a high per-account limit that stops a broken client loop (plans have no rate limit). Requests without an API key (signup, the MCP server's tool listing and find_endpoint) are limited per IP address instead. It also stops an account whose failed requests in the last hour cost far more than its successful ones paid for: failures are free within a limit (the message says so), and successes raise it.

Wait the seconds in the retry-after header, then retry. If your steady traffic needs more, ask support to raise the ceiling; without an API key, send one.

500

500 Internal Error: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing.

internalYes, later

An unexpected error on SocialTap's side.

Retry with backoff. If it keeps happening, contact support with the request_id.

502

502 Bad Gateway: 1 error code. Free: errors cost nothing.

upstream_errorYes, later

The platform failed, or answered with something we could not read.

Retry with backoff. Failed requests are free.

503

503 Unavailable: 2 error codes. Free: errors cost nothing.

upstream_blockedYes, later

The platform refused every attempt, our own retries included.

Retry later with backoff. Failed requests are free.

overloadedYes, later

SocialTap was at capacity, or paused by its operators, and did not start the request. Nothing was fetched or charged.

Retry after the 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.

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 (HTTP 402) and costs nothing. Only that minimum is set aside when the request starts.
