TikTok Hashtag API
Scrape TikTok Hashtag data with one API call. Returns TikTok's own record for a hashtag: its display name, its description where the platform has written one, and the two numbers that size it. `post.engagement.views` is the total views of videos under the tag and it is live, moving between calls minutes apart. `post.ext.video_count` is how many videos carry the tag. Pass either the tag name or, if you already have it, TikTok's numeric hashtag id. Use `/v1/tiktok/search/hashtag` to read the videos themselves.

Returns TikTok's own record for a hashtag, with its display name, its description where one exists, the live total views under the tag, and how many videos carry it.
Use it to size a tag before pulling its posts. Pass the tag name and the id lookup happens for you, or pass hashtag_id when you already hold it.

)
data = response.json()const response = await fetch(
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/tiktok/hashtag",

},
);
const data = await response.json();Parameters
