What is a TikTok video id?

A TikTok video id is the long number in a video’s URL, after /video/, such as 7643923087913651479 in tiktok.com/@ferrari/video/7643923087913651479.

Its top 32 bits are the second the upload began, a few seconds before the time TikTok shows. A photo post has one in the same place, after /photo/.

A short vm.tiktok.com link carries none: open it once, and the address it leads to has the id.
