How health is measured
  • Health = the share of calls that returned data, in percent. Empty results, failures and unknown outcomes do not count as returning data.
  • Levels: 90% and above is healthy, 70% and above is available, 40% and above is limited; anything lower is mostly down.
  • A period (the last 24 hours, one hour or one day) gets a score only once it has at least 50 calls. Periods with fewer calls show as normal: a few failures among a handful of calls do not mean the API is down.
  • Calls include real customer calls and our own daily probe calls. Request errors (wrong parameters, no balance) are excluded.
  • Average time counts only calls that completed normally: response time for sync calls, acceptance to completion for async ones.

Search public results on TikTok. Accepts these parameters: keyword and content_type. Returns these fields: posted_at, author_name, like_count, and text.

Price $0.56 per 1,000 requests ($0.000556 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

Request parameters

NameInTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
AuthorizationheaderstringYes-Bearer followed by your API key. Create it in the console; never put it in a URL or a code repository.
platformbodystringYestiktokPlatform identifier, fixed value.
actionbodystringYessearchCapability identifier, fixed value.
keywordbody.paramsNot declaredYes-Specifies the search query string for public video searches in the search action. In shop_search, this searches TikTok Shop products instead, which draw from a distinct dataset.
content_typebody.paramsenumNo-Filters results by tab in the search action. Allowed values are video for videos, profile for users, and top for top content. Providing this parameter in fixed author, video, or hashtag actions does not guarantee that filtering will take effect, so verify returned response objects and fields after changing tabs.Allowed valuesprofiletopvideo

Response example

Real response

Captured September 26, 2026 at 08:56 (UTC) by calling this API with the parameters in the code sample above. results and count are that call's real response with personal information (names, handles, avatars, profile links, contact details) removed; the list keeps the first 2. id, billing and quota differ on every call, so only their shape is shown.

Response fields

Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the source does not provide are never made up.

FieldMeaning
idThe record's unique ID on the source platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms.
urlLink to the record on the source platform.
textBody text with HTML removed. Long text may be truncated.
author_nameAuthor's display name.
author_usernameAuthor's username (@handle), usually usable in URLs.
like_countLikes. null means the platform or this capability does not disclose it; it is not 0.
comment_countComments. null means not disclosed, not 0.
share_countShares. null means not disclosed, not 0.
view_countViews or plays. null means not disclosed, not 0.
posted_atPublish time in ISO 8601, UTC (for example 2026-08-07T12:34:56+00:00). Non-standard strings from the platform are passed through as is, so parse defensively. null means the platform does not disclose it.
platformSource platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok).

Errors and billing

401
Missing or invalid key. Authentication runs before parameter checks, so unauthenticated requests never see the parameter schema.
422
Wrong parameter name or value. The error lists the parameters and allowed values this capability accepts and the closest match; it happens before any charge.
402
Insufficient balance. Top up first.
429
Per-minute request limit reached. Wait for Retry-After and try again.
503
Could not complete right now. Any charge for the call goes back to your balance automatically, and the billing receipt in the response states the actual outcome, including when it is not yet known. Do not resend blindly.
200 empty
The request completed without data and is not charged (billing.reason = empty_result_refunded).
