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

    TikTok username with or without the @, a profile URL (tiktok.com/@nasa), a numeric user ID or a secUid (MS4wLjABAAAA…).

  • 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 Posts API.

  • Monitor an account's new posts since a date

  • Benchmark post performance across accounts

  • Build datasets of an account's posts

Good to know before you build.

  • TikTok rounds large view, like, comment and share counts, and approximate_fields lists them.
  • media[].url is null for videos because TikTok serves video files only with its player's cookie, and the TikTok Download API returns the files.
  • If TikTok's list is down, the first page lists the latest posts from its embed profile, with fewer fields.

Questions about the TikTok Posts API.

How much does the TikTok Posts API cost?
A page of up to 15 account videos and photo posts costs 1 credit. Every successful page is charged, empty pages included. SocialTap credits cost $0.75–$1.97 per 1,000, depending on the plan or pack.
How do I get the next page?
