description: Optional credit reservation ceiling for this individual request. Send a non-negative integer in decimal digits. Live execution checks the required reservation after resolving free cache hits or buffered continuation, before charging or calling a supplier. A higher reservation returns HTTP 422 INVALID_PARAMETERS with reason max_credits_exceeded and charges nothing. Invalid header values also return 422. Zero permits only a zero-credit reservation; omitting the header uses normal pricing. dry_run remains a free preview. This does not cap later requests, batches or scheduled runs.

status: not_assessed
message: Capacity is workload-dependent; configured routes do not establish sustained throughput or an availability guarantee.
x-availability-scope: Structural check of the effective registered chain, production permission, adapter, configured cost and quality floor without request parameters. True is not a live-health, credential, quota, subscription-entitlement, complete-data or deployment-exposure guarantee. False means no structurally eligible candidate; null means metadata could not establish availability. Composite child capability still depends on its component routes.

data:
description: Amazon responses include marketplace.country and marketplace.domain (resolved request marketplace, UK by default). X profiles preserve location, bio_link and cover_url when supplied. TikTok profiles preserve commerce_user, seller, region, location and business_category when supplied; region identifies the account region rather than personal residence. TikTok comments use platform_default selection, which can change between fetches; keep the same video and options when following cursors. Amazon review variant is readable text. Facebook profiles preserve cover_url, following and created_at when supplied; likes_count and followers are distinct and follower totals may be rounded. Endpoint-specific normalized payload, not one universal post/profile schema. Many lists use items/count/cursor; a null cursor means no usable next cursor was supplied, not proof that all history was retrieved. Check has_more and warnings where present. Social full-profile bundles use posts_cursor and posts_pagination.next_params; retain all returned next parameters. YouTube channel bundles instead use recent_videos, cursor and recent_videos_pagination. Inspect complete/partial/legs where supplied for bounded or failed components. Optional model-derived fields are labelled, not source facts.

description: Present and true only on the explicitly requested /sandbox surface. Synthetic responses are representative and charged 0 credits; production /v1 never returns them.

type: boolean
description: Reserved for sandbox compatibility. Production /v1 reports upstream failure as an error and never serves a representative fallback.
