TikTok Search Music API

Name: TikTok Search Music API
Brand: SocialCrawl
Availability: InStock

Scrape TikTok Search Music data with one API call. Searches TikTok's sound catalogue by keyword and returns up to thirty matching sounds per page, each with its title, artist, duration, cover art, a preview audio URL, and the number of videos using it under `post.ext.video_count`. Where TikTok knows the track on the major music stores, `post.ext.dsp_ids` carries its Apple Music, Spotify and Amazon ids, which is what makes a sound joinable to catalogue data outside TikTok. Pass `post.ext.music_id` to `/v1/tiktok/song/videos` to see the videos using a sound.

Returns TikTok sounds matching a keyword, each with title, artist, duration, cover art, a preview audio URL, and how many videos use it.

Use it to size a sound trend, or to join a TikTok sound to Apple Music, Spotify and Amazon through the store ids on ext.dsp_ids.
