Search TikTok

Q: Can I try it without signing up?

Yes. Add demo=true and leave the key out, or press Send request in the playground on this page. The demo answers with a real answer about Ferrari, captured once a week, in exactly the shape a live call returns, whatever you ask, and charges nothing.

Q: What does it return?

A list of tiktok_video objects. Its fields are named after TikTok's Display and Research APIs. A field is null when TikTok does not show it, never missing. Every field is described on this page.

Q: How do I get more than one page?

Pass meta.next_cursor back as cursor, and stop when it is null. Each page is a call, priced the same. A cursor lasts as long as the answer it belongs to is cached.

Q: Can an AI agent call it?

Yes: it is the MCP tool search_tiktok on our MCP server, with the same parameters, answer and price. Without a key, the tool answers from the demo.

Search TikTok by keyword. Returns videos by default; type=user returns accounts and type=hashtag returns hashtags. Use this for trend research and creator discovery when you do not already have a username.

Parameters

Parameters
Parameter	What it does
`query` string · required	What to search for.
`type` string	What kind of result to return. video · user · hashtag, default video
`limit` integer	At most this many results, 1–30. A page can hold fewer while `next_cursor` is set: read until it is null. 1–30, default 30
`cursor` string	The `meta.next_cursor` from the previous page. Omit for the first page.
`fresh` boolean	Skip the cache and fetch now. Charged normally. Not available on trial credits — buy any pack to unlock it. default false

Response

Returns an array of tiktok_video — or, with type, tiktok_profile for user and tiktok_hashtag for hashtag. This is the demo’s answer, the one the playground above returns, in full rather than abbreviated — including the fields that come back null, because a field is null when the platform does not show it and you should know which ones those are before you build on them. A call with your key returns the account you ask for.

What it costs

3 credits (13 for type=hashtag) per successful call, whether we fetch it or serve it from cache — you pay for the answer, not for how we produced it. Responses are cached for 1 hour and a cached one tells you when the data was actually fetched. A call we fail costs 0 and is refunded automatically.

On the smallest pack that is $2.34 per 1,000 calls; on the largest, $1.32. The full table.

Questions

How much does the TikTok search API cost?

From 3 to 13 credits a call, depending on what you ask for: $2.34 to $10.14 per 1,000 calls on the smallest pack, $1.32 to $5.72 on the largest. A call that fails costs nothing, and the refund is automatic. A cached answer costs the same as a fresh one. Credits are bought in packs and never expire; there is no plan.

Do I need a TikTok account, a login or cookies?

No. You need a key from us and nothing from TikTok. We never take a customer's login, cookies or session, at any price, and no account of yours is ever at risk.

Can I try it without signing up?

Yes. Add demo=true and leave the key out, or press Send request in the playground on this page. The demo answers with a real answer about Ferrari, captured once a week, in exactly the shape a live call returns, whatever you ask, and charges nothing.

How fresh is the data?

An answer is kept for up to 1 hour, and a cached one says when it was fetched, in meta.fetched_at. Add fresh=true to fetch it again now, at the same price; it needs any purchase, not the trial.

What does it return?

A list of tiktok_video objects. Its fields are named after TikTok's Display and Research APIs. A field is null when TikTok does not show it, never missing. Every field is described on this page.

How do I get more than one page?

Pass meta.next_cursor back as cursor, and stop when it is null. Each page is a call, priced the same. A cursor lasts as long as the answer it belongs to is cached.

Can an AI agent call it?

Yes: it is the MCP tool search_tiktok on our MCP server, with the same parameters, answer and price. Without a key, the tool answers from the demo.
