What you can pull from TikTok.

More is reachable on TikTok than on any other platform here. A profile lookup returns bio, follower and like counts, verification status, and media counts. Video feeds paginate by cursor and sort by newest, popular, or oldest. Comment threads and their replies are separate endpoints, so a thread can be walked to whatever depth a workload needs. Beyond a creator’s own content there are hashtag and audio endpoints, which is how discovery work usually starts: find the sound or tag, then read the videos using it.

Video objects carry the media files in several qualities, the audio track with its own author, hashtags as first-class tags, and the engagement counts. Transcripts are a separate call and return WebVTT — the auto-generated one under the original language, or a machine translation under a BCP47 language code.

Every response uses the same ActivityStreams 2.0-based model as the other supported platforms, so a TikTok integration reuses the parsing you already wrote. Fields specific to TikTok stay as documented first-class fields rather than being flattened away.

How the calls fit together.

Few TikTok jobs are a single request. Most are two or three chained, each call keyed by an id the one before it returned.

Vet a creator

Size the account, read what it actually publishes, then read how its audience responds.

Follow a sound

Read the track for its title, artist, and how many videos use it, then page those videos to see how far it has spread.

Turn a video into text

Find candidates by keyword, then take the transcript straight off the ids the search already returned.

What shapes your TikTok integration.

Page sizes, ordering, and what the platform itself withholds — the details that decide how you build, settled before you write a line of code.

01Page sizes differ by endpoint: Video feeds and collections return at most 35 items per page, follower and following lists 30, comments and replies 50, and audio video lists 30. User search has a fixed page size of 10, which is the platform’s own limit.
02Likes and reposts can be hidden by their owner: A user can set their likes or reposts to private. Those endpoints then return an empty list rather than an error, so treat an empty page as “not shared” rather than as “none”.
03Stories and live status are transient: Stories expire after 24 hours, and the live endpoint returns 404 when the account is not currently streaming. Both are point-in-time reads, not history.
04Download URLs are short-lived: The video download endpoint returns a URL you can fetch with a plain GET, with no cookies or headers of your own. It is valid for a few hours, so resolve it at the point of download rather than storing it.
