TikTok User Live API
Scrape TikTok User Live data with one API call. Returns current live stream information for a TikTok user including viewer count, stream title, duration, and gift count.
Last updated August 2026Maintained by the SocialCrawl team
Returns a TikTok account's live room in the platform's own shape: cover image, title, start time, status code, viewer and entry counts, stream ids, and the host's profile.
Use it to read a creator's live room state, but check status and start time yourself, since a room may still be returned after the broadcast has ended.
