Special Notes

  • Fallback Strategies: If metadata is missing, Peekalink infers defaults to maintain consistency.
  • NSFW & Type Fields: These let you adjust how you present or filter communities based on content sensitivity or access restrictions.
  • Scalable Integration: Start with the basic title and subscriber count, then incrementally add details like active user counts, banners, and descriptions as your product matures.
