One schema on 21 platforms.

The response reference lists every field, its type and when it is null. See the full schema.

  • Null means unknown

    A field TikTok doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero.

  • What it accepts

    A TikTok effect link (the effect page's tiktok.com/effect/Bold-Glamour-14519845, or the older tiktok.com/sticker/Bold-Glamour-14519845) or the effect's numeric ID (the number at the end of that link).

  • Write one parser

    TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and 18 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all.

platformstring
Platform ID (tiktok, youtube, …).
idstring
Platform-native post ID (string; Instagram shortcode, Reddit with its t3_ prefix).
urlstring
Canonical post URL.
typestring
Normalized content shape. New values may be added; treat unknown values as other.
platform_typestring
The platform's own product label, lowercase (reel, short, story, live, tweet, …).
titlestring
Headline (YouTube title, Reddit title); null on caption-only platforms.
textstring
Caption, description or body as plain text.
languagestring
BCP-47 language of text, when the platform states it.

What teams build with the TikTok Effect Posts API.

  • Find the creators using your effect

  • See the best posts made with an effect

  • Compare engagement on competing effects' posts

Good to know before you build.

  • Posts come in TikTok's own order for the effect, not by date: since and until filter each page without ending the walk.
  • Counts are exact, as TikTok's app reports them.
  • media[].url is a direct video link that needs no cookie, and it expires at media[].expires_at.
  • This list names mentioned accounts by ID only, so a post whose caption mentions someone has mentions in unknown_fields.
  • An ID TikTok knows no effect by returns not_found, as TikTok's own effect page does.
