## Why not the official TikTok API?

TikTok's Research API is limited to vetted academic and non-profit researchers, and its Display API only reads the accounts of people who log in and authorize your app.

- ### No approval to wait for

  One API key works on every endpoint. There's no app to get reviewed and no account to connect.
- ### Anything public

  Read what anyone can see without logging in, not only the accounts you manage or that authorized your app.
- ### No daily quota

  You pay per request. Plans have no rate limit, only a ceiling that stops a runaway loop.

## Call the TikTok API from your code.

Copy the request for your language, or hand it to your agent.

TikTok Post Try in

```
const params = new URLSearchParams({
  url: "https://www.tiktok.com/@scout2015/video/6718335390845095173",
});
const res = await fetch(`https://socialtap.dev/v1/tiktok/post?${params}`, {
  headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.SOCIALTAP_API_KEY ?? "" },
});
const body = await res.json();
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${body.error.code}: ${body.error.message}`);
const { data, meta } = body;
console.log(data, meta.credits_charged);
```

## Frequently asked questions

What you send, what comes back and how your agent uses it.

[Contact us](mailto:support@socialtap.dev)

**Can I download the video?**

Yes. media\[0\].url is a direct link to the video file that needs no TikTok cookie. It expires at media\[0\].expires_at, and is null with a partial_data warning when TikTok won't serve it. For every watermark-free rendition with its size and resolution, use the TikTok Download API.

**Are the follower counts exact?**

Yes. Follower, following, video and like counts are exact. Only when the profile page is unavailable do follower and like counts come rounded from TikTok's embed profile, and approximate_fields lists them.

**Does the TikTok Comments API return replies?**

No. It returns top-level comments, each with its reply_count. The TikTok Comment Replies API returns the replies to a comment.

**Can I get the transcript in another language?**

Yes, when TikTok offers it. Send lang and you get a caption track in that language or TikTok's own translation, otherwise the video's original language.
