Trimmed to one video and the fields most apps need. The example is a Test account, so you can run it on a free Test key.

What you get

—Videos. Each video has id, the caption in text, and createdAt.
—Counts. Views, likes, comments, shares, and saves sit in metrics.
—One page per request. Pass meta.cursors.next back as cursor to get the next page. When it is null, you have every video TikTok shows.
—One video. Call GET /v1/tiktok/posts/{id} to read a single video by its ID.

Price

—Per request. $0.0025 per live request. $0.002 per request after 100,000 requests in a month. One page of results is one request.
—Older data costs less. Set freshness to say how old the data may be. Data up to 24 hours old: $0.0005. Data up to 7 days old: $0.0001. Data up to 30 days old: free.
—Failed means free. Errors and invalid requests are never billed. You pay for answers, and a confirmed not-found is an answer.
—Free to start. Every new workspace starts with 100 free live requests, no card needed. Test keys are never charged.
