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 sound link (the sound page's tiktok.com/music/Different-Acoustic-6717159721276540930, or a share page's tiktok.com/share/music/6717159721276540930) or the sound's numeric ID (the clip ID 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 Sound Posts API.

  • Find the creators using a sound

  • See which videos made a sound take off

  • Measure a campaign song's reach

Good to know before you build.

  • Posts come in TikTok's own order for the sound, not by date: since and until filter each page without ending the walk.
  • 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.
  • If TikTok's list is down, the first page lists the sound's top posts from its embed page, with fewer fields.
