TikTok API

Profiles, videos, transcripts and comments from any public TikTok account.

Overview

Read public TikTok the way tiktok.com shows it: creator profiles with exact follower counts, their latest videos, full video details, caption transcripts, and comment threads. Useful for creator research, UGC and competitor monitoring, and turning videos into text. Field names follow TikTok's own web JSON; fields tiktok.com doesn't carry are left out rather than faked.
