What has @nasa posted on TikTok recently?

tiktok_posts · 200 OK sample call

Thirty-one videos on the first page. Three newest:

"When the President calls in the middle of your post-launch press conference…" · 1 m 32 s · 30 August

"We just launched a new telescope into space." · 27 s · 30 August

"One for the history books." · 1 m 54 s · 29 August

The telescope clip is the one that took off: a quarter of the length, twice the plays and six times the likes of the press-conference video.

The same data, without the agent

▤ TikTok Scraper API One handle in, the account's videos out. Scraper API

Before you wire it in

Do I need a TikTok account or developer access?

No. The only credential is your HasData key. Every tool reads the public pages a signed-out visitor sees, so there is no developer programme to apply for.

How is this different from TikTok's own APIs?

The Research API is application-gated to approved researchers in eligible regions, and the Display API only reaches an account that has authorised you. Neither is a self-serve way to read public profiles and videos at large, which is what this server does.

How do I read a whole account rather than one page?

The posts tool returns a nextPageToken. Hand it back on the next call and you get the following page. Search and comments page the same way, so an agent can walk history without guessing an offset.

Can I get replies to a specific comment?

Yes. Pass that comment’s id as commentId and the comments tool returns its replies instead of the video’s top level.

How fresh is the data? Is anything cached?

Every tool call fetches the page at that moment, so play and like counts are the ones on screen right now. Nothing is served from a cache.

What about personal data?

A profile and a comment are personal data even when they are public. HasData reads publicly available pages only, and you are responsible for having a lawful basis for what you collect and store under GDPR, CCPA or the equivalent rules where you operate.

How many calls can run in parallel?

5 on the free tier, 5 on Startup, 15 on Basic, and 50 on Growth. The larger Growth volumes raise it to 200, 300 and 500.

What happens when I run out of credits?

Nothing is charged on top of the plan. Calls stop until the billing cycle renews.

Does it work with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code and Claude Code?

Yes, all four, plus anything else that speaks MCP over streamable HTTP. Claude Desktop connects through OAuth, and the rest take the URL and an API key header.

Is HasData affiliated with TikTok?

No. HasData is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by TikTok Ltd. TikTok is a trademark of its respective owner.
