Frequently asked questions
How do I list a TikTok creator's videos?
POST the profile URL (tiktok.com/@user) as channel with a limit. The platform is read from the URL. Keep sending data.next_cursor back as cursor for older videos until it is null.
Does this need a TikTok developer account?
No. It is TranscriptFetch's own endpoint, called with your TranscriptFetch API key. One page costs 1 credit.
How do I get notified of a creator's new TikToks?
Poll with since_video_id set to the newest videoId you have seen: only newer videos come back, for 1 credit a poll. Or create a monitor on the profile and receive each new video, optionally with its transcript, by webhook.
Can I sort or search within a TikTok profile?
No. sort, query and tab are YouTube channel options and are refused on TikTok. Videos come back newest first; filter or sort the rows on your side.
