TikTok Location Posts API
Scrape TikTok Location Posts data with one API call. Returns public videos tagged at a TikTok place, twenty per page, with full engagement counts and author details on every row. `location_id` is TikTok's own place id, the number that appears in a place page URL. A place id TikTok does not recognise returns `404 RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND` and is refunded, which is distinct from a real place that simply has no recent posts: that returns an empty list.
Last updated October 2026Maintained by the SocialCrawl team
Returns public TikTok videos tagged at a place, each with engagement counts, caption, author, and a playable URL.
Use it with TikTok's own place id from a place page URL. An unknown place is a refunded not found, while a real place with nothing recent returns an empty list.

What can you do with the Location Posts API?
The Location Posts endpoint gives you structured TikTok data with computed fields in a single request. No scraping infrastructure to build or maintain.
Example Request
curl -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/tiktok/location/posts?location_id=22535865202815278"import requests
response = requests.get(
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/tiktok/location/posts",
params={
'location_id': '22535865202815278',
},
headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
)
data = response.json()const response = await fetch(
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/tiktok/location/posts?location_id=22535865202815278",
{
headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" },
},
);
const data = await response.json();Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| location_id | Yes | TikTok place id, as it appears in the place page URL. |
| cursor | No | Cursor from the previous response to fetch the next page of videos. |
| region | No | Two-letter country code for the proxy location. Defaults to US. |
| since | No | Only rows published on or after this date: YYYY-MM-DD (midnight UTC) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Rows older than it are left off each page. This list is not in date order, so the walk does not stop at the date: keep following `next_cursor`, and each page costs what a page costs even when every row on it is filtered out. A row with no date is kept. `published_after`, `start_date`, `from_date`, `publish_time` (`yesterday`, `this-week`, `this-month`, `last-3-months`, `last-6-months`) and `max_age_days` are accepted and applied as `since`. |
| until | No | Only rows published on or before this date: YYYY-MM-DD (that whole UTC day is included) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Newer rows are left off each page and the walk does not stop, so older pages follow. A row with no date is kept. `published_before`, `end_date` and `to_date` are accepted and applied as `until`. |
What does the TikTok Location Posts API return?
