The job

What the TikTok search API gives your agent

TikTok search shows what is moving right now. Your agent sends a keyword and reads back the videos with captions, views, likes, comments and shares. For a content team it is a view of what a topic looks like this week. For a brand it shows who is talking about the product.

Four endpoints search videos by keyword, from three providers. They differ in the filters. One takes a sort order and a posting-date window. One takes a count and an offset and pages with a search ID. One takes a region and a publish time. One bills a flat price per request regardless of how many videos come back.

Sample calls

The request and what comes back

Each run is one POST to /v1/runs with an endpoint id and an input. These are illustrative calls with generic values. The run's result holds the provider's own fields.

Request
{"endpointId":"anyapi-run-tiktok-search-keyword","input":{"query":"home workout"},"wait":30}
ResponseSample output
// POST /v1/runs, then read run.status and run.result
// result: returns videos with caption, views, likes, comments and shares as normalized JSON, with sort and posting-date filters and a flat price per request

Before you start

Settle these before the first run

  • Set the sort. Most-liked and newest answer different questions, and the default may not be the one you need.
  • Keep the search ID when you page. One provider needs it for the second page and later.
  • Note the region. TikTok serves different results per market, and one endpoint takes a region parameter to set it.

FAQ

Questions people ask
