TikTok API

Name: tiktok-api
Author: aiskillstore

TikTok data on demand: keyword post search with sort/date filters, profile lookup by handle, followers and followings, hashtag and music/sound feeds, location-based posts, and comment threads — one plain HTTP GET per call, paid as you go. No login, no session cookies, no browser automation, no TikTok developer app review.

Base URL: https://tiktok.fetcher.sh

Quick reference


Base URL	`https://tiktok.fetcher.sh`
Auth	`Authorization: Bearer bby_live_...` or x402 (USDC)
Price	$0.004/call (flat)
Endpoints	13, all `GET`
MCP	`https://tiktok.fetcher.sh/mcp`
Machine-readable	`/openapi.json` · `/llms.txt` · `/skill.md`

Which endpoint do I need?

I want to...	Call
Search posts by keyword (optionally most-liked/recent)	`GET /api/post/search`
Look up a post by its share URL	`GET /api/post?url=...`
Look up a profile by @username	`GET /api/user/handle/{username}`
Get a user's posts, followers, or followings	`GET /api/user/{id}/posts` / `/followers` / `/followings`
Get a post's comments	`GET /api/post/{id}/comments`
Find posts under a hashtag	`GET /api/hashtag/{id}/posts`
Find posts using a specific sound	`GET /api/music/{id}/posts`

Full param details for every row: references/endpoints.md.

Authentication

Two ways to pay, same data — full mechanics in the fetcher skill:

# 1. Prepaid credits (recommended — get a key at https://fetcher.sh/topup
#    or via POST /api/credits/topup, see the fetcher skill)
export FETCHER_API_KEY="bby_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://tiktok.fetcher.sh/api/post/search?keyword=hello"

# 2. x402 pay-per-call — omit the header; a GET with no payment returns 402
#    with machine-readable payment requirements (USDC on Base, Polygon,
#    Arbitrum, Monad, or Solana). @x402/fetch signs and retries automatically.

Every response is { "status": number, "message": string, "data": ... }; the HTTP status mirrors status.

Endpoints (13 — all GET, $0.004/call)

Endpoint	What it returns
`/api/post/search`	Posts matching a keyword; sort and date-range filters
`/api/post`	A single post resolved from its share URL
`/api/post/{id}`	A single post by ID
`/api/post/{id}/comments`	A post's comments
`/api/post/{id}/comments/{commentId}/replies`	Replies to a comment
`/api/user/handle/{username}`	Profile by @username
`/api/user/{id}/posts`	A user's posts
`/api/user/{id}/followers`	A user's followers
`/api/user/{id}/followings`	Accounts a user follows
`/api/hashtag/handle/{name}`	Hashtag metadata by name
`/api/hashtag/{id}/posts`	Posts under a hashtag
`/api/music/{id}/posts`	Posts using a sound/music track
`/api/location/{locationId}/posts`	Posts tagged at a location

{id} / {username} / {name} are path parameters. Optional query params (cursor, region) paginate or geo-scope results; keyword (search) and url (post lookup) are required where they appear.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "keyword=ai agent" -G \
  --data-urlencode "sortType=MOST_LIKED" \
  --data-urlencode "dateRange=THIS_MONTH" \
  "https://tiktok.fetcher.sh/api/post/search"

Posted yesterday, most recent first:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "keyword=crypto payments" -G \
  --data-urlencode "sortType=DATE_POSTED" \
  --data-urlencode "dateRange=YESTERDAY" \
  "https://tiktok.fetcher.sh/api/post/search"

Other sortType values: RELEVANCE. Other dateRange values: ALL_TIME, THIS_WEEK, LAST_THREE_MONTHS, LAST_SIX_MONTHS.

Look up a post by its share URL, or directly by ID:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" -G \
  --data-urlencode "url=https://www.tiktok.com/@username/video/1234567890123456789" \
  "https://tiktok.fetcher.sh/api/post"

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://tiktok.fetcher.sh/api/post/1234567890123456789"

A post's comments and comment replies:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://tiktok.fetcher.sh/api/post/1234567890123456789/comments"

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://tiktok.fetcher.sh/api/post/1234567890123456789/comments/9876543210/replies"

A profile by @handle, then its posts, followers, and followings:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://tiktok.fetcher.sh/api/user/handle/khaby.lame"

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://tiktok.fetcher.sh/api/user/6935741396776976390/posts"

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://tiktok.fetcher.sh/api/user/6935741396776976390/followers"

A hashtag's metadata, then its posts:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://tiktok.fetcher.sh/api/hashtag/handle/fyp"

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://tiktok.fetcher.sh/api/hashtag/1234567890/posts"

Posts using a specific sound, and posts from a location:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://tiktok.fetcher.sh/api/music/1234567890123456789/posts"

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://tiktok.fetcher.sh/api/location/1234567890123456789/posts"

400 — missing/invalid parameter (message names it)
401 — unknown or rotated key
402 — payment required (x402 challenge) or topup_required (credits exhausted)
404 — not a priced path
No rate limits; no refunds on upstream failures (settlement precedes delivery)
