Edge Cases

边缘情况

Private post: Returns 0 results. Tell user the post or account is private.

Missing fields: Some users may not have fullName or isVerified; handle gracefully.
Rate limit: Reduce maxItems or run at off-peak time.

私密帖子：返回0条结果。需告知用户该帖子或账号为私密状态。
已删除帖子：返回错误。请验证URL是否正确。
评论数量少：属于正常情况——帖子可能确实互动量较低。
字段缺失：部分用户可能没有填写全名或未获得认证；需妥善处理。
速率限制：减少maxItems参数值，或在非高峰时段运行。
