TikTok Top Videos API at a glance

Returns TikTok Creative Center's top videos for a country over 7 or 30 days, ranked by views, organic views, engagement or six-second view rate. Each has its rank, caption, hashtags, cover, a playable video link, author with follower count, views in the window and lifetime and how many were organic, engagement rate and six-second view rate. With no parameters you get the US board for the latest 7 days, by views.

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.

  • No input needed

    Every parameter is optional: the plain request returns the default list.

  • 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

Good to know before you build.

  • Logged out, Creative Center shows only the top videos of each board and keeps the rest behind its login, so the page ends with page.end_reason platform_limit. Each ranking and category is its own board: read several for more videos.
  • The window is Creative Center's latest published one, not the days up to now. platform_specific.tiktok.board.period_end_at says where it ends.
  • metrics.view_count is the video's lifetime views as Creative Center counts them, paid ones included. Likes, comments, shares and duration aren't on the board and are null (the TikTok Post API has them).
  • A video that drew paid views is marked is_ad and is_sponsored, and the board says nothing more about the ad.
  • A country Creative Center publishes no video board for returns invalid_input naming the countries it does.
