FAQ
TikTok questions.
- Can I use TikTok data commercially without the Research API?
- Yes. Openhandle returns publicly visible TikTok data through its own API key, with no academic-access requirement.
- Does the API return real zeros?
- Yes. A measured zero stays zero; an unavailable metric is returned as null.
- Can I use a username instead of an ID?
- Yes. Put @username or the platform ID in any profile path, including /posts. Both forms return the same data.
- Are cursors shared with the upstream provider?
- No. Treat Openhandle cursors as opaque and pass them back unchanged.
Let your agent wire up TikTok.
Copy one prompt. It has the docs, the spec, and an example request. Your agent reads it and builds against your test key.
Send your agent ahead.
Paste the prompt into your agent and it sets everything up. Or come yourself, it takes five minutes.
