## TikTok Engagement API at a glance

Returns a public TikTok account's engagement rate and post analytics, computed over its latest posts, in one request. You get the profile, its latest videos and photo posts, and the figures over them: engagement rate per follower and per view (mean, median and spread), average views, likes, comments, shares and saves, median views, comment-to-like ratio, posting cadence, the video and photo mix, and the top and bottom post with how each compares with a typical post. Send a username, profile link or user ID.

Long arrays and strings are shortened here. Real responses are complete.

## One schema on 6 platforms.

The [response reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/tiktok/engagement/index.md#response) lists every field, its type and when it is `null`. [See the full schema](https://socialtap.dev/resources/engagement/index.md).

- ### 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

  TikTok username with or without the @ (nasa, @nasa), a profile URL (tiktok.com/@nasa), or a numeric user ID (tiktok.com/share/user/\<id> or the bare ID).
- ### Write one parser

  TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and 3 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all.

- **`platform`string**: Platform ID (tiktok, instagram, …).
- **`id`string**: Platform-native account ID (equals profile.id).
- **`url`string**: Canonical profile URL (equals profile.url).
- **`profile`object**: The account, as its profile endpoint returns it; its metrics.follower_count divides every engagement_rate.
- **`posts`object\[\]**: The sampled recent posts in the profile's order, each with its own figures. \[\] when none; \[\] and in unknown_fields when unreadable (a private account, a failed posts request).
- **`metrics`object**: Figures over the counted posts (by the account, not pinned); each null when no counted post has its inputs.
- **`oldest_post_at`string**: Publish time of the oldest counted post, RFC 3339 UTC: where the sample starts.
- **`newest_post_at`string**: Publish time of the newest counted post, RFC 3339 UTC: when the account last posted.

## What teams build with the TikTok Engagement API.

- ### Vet creators before a paid campaign
- ### Rank a shortlist of creators by engagement
- ### Track posting cadence and engagement over time
- ### Spot a creator's outlier videos

## Good to know before you build.

- The figures cover the account's latest posts, the first page of the TikTok Posts API, and the profile and each post are exactly what the TikTok Profile and Posts APIs return.
- TikTok rounds large view, like and comment counts, so figures computed from them are listed in approximate_fields.
- When TikTok's posts list can't be read, the posts come from its embed profile, a shorter list with views but no likes, comments, shares or saves, so every rate is null and old pinned posts are flagged and left out of the figures.
- A private account returns its profile with every figure null and posts listed in unknown_fields, and an unreadable posts list returns the same with a partial_data warning.

## Questions about the TikTok Engagement API.

More in the [API reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/tiktok/engagement/index.md).

**How is engagement rate calculated?**

Likes plus comments per follower, and separately per view, for each recent post, then the mean and median across posts. It is computed the same way on every platform, and shares and saves have their own averages.

**How much does the TikTok Engagement API cost?**

A request costs 1 credit. SocialTap credits cost $0.75–$1.97 per 1,000, depending on the plan or pack.
