How do I get TikTok video details with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/tiktok/post with the full video URL in the url parameter. SocialCrawl returns view count, like count, comment count, share count, caption, music info, author details, and video metadata in a unified schema.

Can I download the TikTok video file directly?

Yes. Pass download_media=true to receive permanent Supabase-hosted URLs for the video and images. Media downloads cost 10 credits when media is found and 1 credit otherwise.

Can I get the TikTok transcript in the same call?

Yes. Pass get_transcript=true to include the video transcript in the response. This uses the profile cache category and avoids a second request to /v1/tiktok/post/transcript.

Why do some TikTok videos return empty responses?

Some videos are region-locked. Pass the region parameter with a 2-letter country code (e.g., PH for the Philippines) to route the proxy through that region. Use GB for England, not UK.

How much does the TikTok Video API cost?

Standard requests cost 1 credit. With download_media=true it is 10 credits if media is found, 1 credit otherwise. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card required.
