TikTok Shop Search API at a glance

Searches TikTok Shop's US products by keyword and returns them in TikTok Shop's relevance order, a page at a time. Each has its link, title, image, price with the price before discount and the highest variant price, units sold, rating and review count, brand, free shipping, and the shop selling it with its storefront link and verified badge.

One schema on 3 platforms.

The response reference lists every field, its type and when it is null. See the full schema.

  • Null means unknown

    A field TikTok Shop doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero.

  • What it accepts

    Keywords, matched by TikTok Shop's product search against product titles, brands and shops (case-insensitive).

  • Write one parser

    TikTok Shop, Amazon and Facebook Marketplace answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all.

platformstring
Platform ID (tiktokshop, facebook, …).
idstring
Platform-native product or listing ID (string).
urlstring
Canonical product page URL.
typestring
product: a catalog product a shop sells in many units, often in variants (TikTok Shop, Instagram and YouTube shopping); listing: a single item a person or business lists for sale (Facebook Marketplace). New values may be added; treat unknown values as product.
titlestring
Product name or listing title, as the seller wrote it.
descriptionstring
Description as plain text (paragraphs separated by blank lines); null when it has none or the source does not show it (lists and search results).
categorystring
The platform's most specific category label (Bicycles, Vitamins & Supplements), as shown; not normalized across platforms.
category_idstring
The platform's ID of that category (what its category browsing and filters take).

What teams build with the TikTok Shop Search API.

  • Find the best-selling products for a keyword

  • Track prices and discounts across a category

  • Discover shops and brands selling in a niche

Good to know before you build.

  • US products only: TikTok Shop serves each market's products only inside that market.
  • Results are product cards. The description, specifications, category, variants and stock come from the TikTok Shop Product API, and are null or listed in unknown_fields here.
  • Shipping has a fee of 0 on products TikTok Shop labels Free shipping, and is null on the rest, whose card doesn't show it.
  • Under load TikTok Shop sometimes answers a search with ten looser matches and no next page. On a first page we ask again. Past it, the page comes back empty with end_reason platform_limit, and the same request later usually continues the results.
  • Accented and non-Latin words (café, 口红) match nothing in TikTok Shop's search, so such a query returns an empty page.
  • Deep pages can repeat a few products from earlier pages, as TikTok Shop's own feed does. Each page is deduplicated by id.

1 credit per page. Failed requests are free.
