What it does not do

Private accounts and live streams. Profiles, search results and sounds are not endpoints here either: this one takes a link to a post and returns what is inside it.

Field-by-field detail is on the response shape page.

Code examples

The same request in four languages. Swap in the key from your dashboard and it runs as it is.

curl -G 'https://api.gapi.dev/tiktok' \
  --data-urlencode 'url=https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7106594312292453675' \

One call, one request
