200 OK · GET https://socialtap.dev/v1/tiktok/playlistsLong arrays and strings are shortened here. Real responses are complete.Docs

One schema on 6 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
TikTok username with or without the @, a profile URL (tiktok.com/@tiktok), a numeric user ID or a secUid (MS4wLjABAAAA…).
Write one parser
TikTok, Instagram, Spotify and 3 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all.

platformstring: Platform ID (tiktok, youtube, facebook, …).
idstring: Platform-native playlist ID (string): TikTok's playlist (mix) or collection ID, YouTube's list ID (PL…), Facebook's video list ID.
urlstring: Canonical playlist URL.
typestring: playlist: a list its owner curates and orders (TikTok playlists, YouTube playlists, Facebook playlists and series); collection: posts an account saved from any creator into a named public folder (TikTok collections). New values may be added; treat unknown values as playlist.
platform_typestring: The platform's own label, lowercase (mix, collection, playlist, series, podcast, …).
titlestring: Name its owner gave it.
descriptionstring: Description as plain text; null when it has none or the platform shows none (TikTok).
ownerobject: The account that curates it (for a collection, the account that saved the posts, not their authors). Where a platform's curators are not accounts (Apple Music), what it states of them: a name, perhaps a page and a picture, with id and username null, and every field null when it names no one.

What teams build with the TikTok Playlists API.

Find a creator's series and episode playlists
See which collections an account curates
Feed playlist links to the Playlist Posts API

Good to know before you build.

Playlists come first (type playlist, platform_type mix), then public collections (type collection), and the walk reads both.
TikTok shows no description for playlists or collections, so description is always null.
post_count is TikTok's count, which can include posts that are no longer public.
