TikTok profile videos API

The newest videos of a public account, from TikTok's embed page for it.

GET /v1/tiktok/profile/videos

GET /v1/tiktok/profile/videos

The newest videos of a public account, from TikTok's embed page for it. One page of about 10 (pinned videos first, then newest first), and no cursor: has_more is false because more cannot be fetched, not because the account has no more. Each video has its id, caption, hashtags, cover, a signed play URL, size and play count (TikTok rounds it to two significant digits; extra.views_rounded), and a date taken from the video id (extra.published_at_from_id). Likes, comments, shares and duration are not on that page and stay null; is_pinned is true for a pinned video that can be told from the order (it never over-reports). parent is the account. sort=popular is refused, and a numeric id cannot be looked up: pass handle. A private account answers private, and an account whose creator limits its audience answers age_restricted.

  • Cost: 1 credit
  • Cache: Results are kept up to 30 days; send max_age_days to reuse them for free.
  • Timeout: A request still running after about 25 seconds answers 202 with a job to poll (Batch and jobs).
