TikTok Effects API
Scrape TikTok Effects data with one API call. Looks up TikTok effects (the camera filters creators apply to a video) by id, up to 50 in one request for a single credit. Each row carries the effect name, its designer, the total views of videos made with it under `post.engagement.views`, and the number of such videos under `post.ext.video_count`. Match results by the returned `post.id`, never by position: repeated ids are collapsed into one row and ids TikTok does not recognise are omitted, so the response can be shorter than the list you sent. A request in which no id is recognised returns `404 RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND` and is refunded.
Last updated August 2026Maintained by the SocialCrawl team
Returns TikTok camera effects by id, each with its name, its designer, the views of videos made with it, and how many such videos exist.
Use it to look several effects up in one call, and match results by the returned id. Repeated ids collapse and unknown ids drop, so the response can be shorter.
