# TikTok videos API

Platform: TikTok.

Call `GET /v1/tiktok/profiles/{identifier}/posts` with a username or a user ID. Each request returns one page of videos and a cursor for the next page.

You do not need a TikTok login or Research API access.

## GET /v1/tiktok/profiles/{identifier}/posts

```bash
curl "https://api.openhandle.dev/v1/tiktok/profiles/@pixel_orchard_tt_test/posts" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENHANDLE_API_KEY"
```

```ts
import { OpenHandle } from '@openhandle/sdk';

const openhandle = new OpenHandle({ apiKey: process.env.OPENHANDLE_API_KEY! });
const page = await openhandle.tiktok.profile('pixel_orchard_tt_test').posts.list();

for (const video of page.data) console.log(video.id, video.metrics.views);
```

200 OK:

      }
    }
  ],
  "meta": { "cursors": { "next": "b3BhcXVlLWN1cnNvcg" } }
}
```

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.

## When this does not work

These answers are definitive. Store them, do not retry them.

| Situation | Status | Code |
|---|---|---|
| The account is private | 403 | `PROFILE_PRIVATE` |
| The account is deleted, banned, or never existed | 404 | `PROFILE_NOT_FOUND` |
| The cursor came from another request | 400 | `CURSOR_MISMATCH` |

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "PROFILE_PRIVATE",
    "message": "This profile is private.",
    "requestId": "req_01j8…",
    "retryable": false
  }
}
```

An account with no videos answers with an empty page, which bills as an answered request.
