TikTok API

TikTok data on demand: keyword post search with sort/date filters, profile lookup by handle, followers and followings, hashtag and music/sound feeds, location-based posts, and comment threads — one plain HTTP GET per call, paid as you go. No login, no session cookies, no browser automation, no TikTok developer app review.

Base URL: https://tiktok.fetcher.sh

Authentication

Two ways to pay, same data — full mechanics in the fetcher skill:

# 1. Prepaid credits (recommended — get a key at https://fetcher.sh/topup
#    or via POST /api/credits/topup, see the fetcher skill)
export FETCHER_API_KEY="bby_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://tiktok.fetcher.sh/api/post/search?keyword=hello"

# 2. x402 pay-per-call — omit the header; a GET with no payment returns 402
#    with machine-readable payment requirements (USDC on Base, Polygon,
#    Arbitrum, Monad, or Solana). @x402/fetch signs and retries automatically.

Every response is { "status": number, "message": string, "data": ... }; the HTTP status mirrors status.

Free: search_endpoints, describe_endpoint, check_balance. Paid: fetch_data (any endpoint above), topup_credits, plus the named shortcut tiktok_post_search. Drop the headers block to pay per call with x402 instead — see the fetcher skill for the full flow.

Errors

  • 400 — missing/invalid parameter (message names it)
  • 401 — unknown or rotated key
  • 402 — payment required (x402 challenge) or topup_required (credits exhausted)
  • 404 — not a priced path
  • No rate limits; no refunds on upstream failures (settlement precedes delivery)
