TikTok API

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.

Authentication

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

fetcher

skill:

bash

# 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
