How do I get TikTok sound details with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/tiktok/song with the clipId parameter. SocialCrawl returns the sound's title, artist name, duration, usage count (how many videos use it), and cover image URL.

Where do I find the TikTok sound clipId?

The clipId is returned on the Post endpoint (music.id) and the song/videos endpoint. You can also copy it from a TikTok sound URL — the last path segment after /music/ is the clipId.

What does usage count mean for a TikTok sound?

Usage count is TikTok's video count for that sound — how many public videos currently use the track. It is the most direct signal of a sound's virality at the moment of your request.

Can I list videos that use a TikTok sound?

Yes. Call /v1/tiktok/song/videos with the same clipId to get a paginated list of videos using the sound, each with the standard view, like, comment, and share counts.

How much does the TikTok Song API cost?

Each request costs 1 credit on the standard tier. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card required, so you can pull around 100 sounds before paying anything.
