Popular TikTok videos API

Q: Which errors can it return?

invalid_params (do not retry), not_found (do not retry). Account and platform errors from the errors list can also happen. A failure always costs 0 credits.

Q: How do I get more than one page?

Send the same request with cursor set to the cursor you received, until has_more is false . Each page costs its own price. See pagination .

Q: Is there an SDK call for it?

The Python client has client.tiktok.videos_popular(...) and the TypeScript client client.tiktok.videosPopular() . Both return the same envelope as the HTTP API. Install them from PyPI ( socialscrape-sdk ) or npm ( socialscrape ); plain HTTP works in any language.

Q: Can an AI agent call it?

Yes. The MCP server , which you run on your own machine, reaches every built endpoint, with the same prices.
