  • verifiedWhether the account is verified.

Every item also has platform, id, ref, approx and type; the response around the items is the same on every call. Response format

What to expect.

One call returns a page of up to 50 items. When page.has_more is true, send page.cursor back as cursor for the next page; each page costs 2 credits and a cursor works for 30 minutes.
A call that runs and finds nothing is a successful call: status is "empty", items is empty, and it costs 2 credits.

1 call per second per key, 5 after a purchase; going over is not charged. Rate limits

A failed call costs 0 credits and is never retried on its own. Error codes

Questions.
Short answers.

Everything on TikTok
Do I need a TikTok account or TikTok's own API access?
No. You only need a SocialToAI key. The call returns content and account information publicly visible on TikTok; you never sign in to TikTok or apply for anything there.

Your AI is one URL away
from all of social media.
