python api_client.py GET /api/v1/tiktok/web/fetch_user_profile "sec_user_id=USER_ID"

bash
# Get video comments
python api_searcher.py "fetch comment"
python api_client.py GET /api/v1/tiktok/web/fetch_post_comment "post_id=POST_ID"

Authentication

API requests use a default token for development. For production use, users should:
  1. Get their API token from TikHub User
  2. Set the 
    TIKHUB_TOKEN
    environment variable
  3. Or modify 
    DEFAULT_TOKEN
    in 
    api_client.py
Request format:
json
{
  "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
}

Base URLs

  • China users: 
    https://api.tikhub.dev
    (bypasses GFW)
  • International: 
    https://api.tikhub.io
The API client auto-detects the appropriate URL. To override, modify the 
use_china_domain
parameter in the client.

Rate Limits

  • QPS: 10 requests per second per endpoint
  • Timeout: 30-60 seconds
  • Retry: Max 3 retries on error

Instructions for Claude

When helping users with TikHub API:
  1. Understand the user's goal - What data do they want? From which platform?
  2. Search for relevant APIs - Use 
    api_searcher.py
    with appropriate keywords
  3. Present options - Show matching APIs with brief descriptions
  4. Guide parameters - Check what parameters are required using 
    detail:OPERATION_ID
  5. Make the request - Use 
    api_client.py
    with the user's parameters
  6. Format results - Present the API response in a clear, readable format

Example Workflow

User: "I want to get a TikTok user's profile"
bash
# Step 1: Search for the relevant API
python api_searcher.py "tiktok user profile"

# Step 2: Show results and confirm endpoint
# Found: GET /api/v1/tiktok/web/fetch_user_profile

# Step 3: Get detailed parameter info
python api_searcher.py detail:tiktok_web_fetch_user_profile_get

# Step 4: Make the API call with user's parameters
python api_client.py GET /api/v1/tiktok/web/fetch_user_profile "sec_user_id=MS4wLjABAAAA..."

# Step 5: Format and present results
