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 and an empty page is free. 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.

TikTok Profile Videos API: endpoint and examples

One POST resolves a TikTok profile URL into a paginated list of the creator's videos, newest first: id, url, caption as the title, duration, @handle, publish time and play count. Every row's url is accepted by the transcript and batch endpoints as-is. since_video_id returns only videos newer than one you have already seen, and an empty answer is free, so a profile can be polled on a schedule for almost nothing.

1 credit per page, free when since_video_id finds nothing newView pricing

Each page of results is one credit; a page trimmed to nothing by since_video_id costs nothing, so polling a profile for new videos is free. Failed requests are free.

On this platform

Give the profile as its URL, tiktok.com/@user; the platform is read from it.
tab, sort and query are YouTube-only and are refused on a TikTok profile.
A profile that does not exist answers 404 not_found; a page with nothing newer than since_video_id costs nothing.

POST/api/v2/transcripts/channelidempotent

List a channel's or profile's videos, Shorts, streams or playlists

Resolve a creator into a paginated list of videos (metadata only), newest first. A channel or profile that does not exist answers 404 not_found; an existing one with no uploads answers 200 with an empty list. The platform is read from the input: a YouTube channel, or a TikTok or Instagram profile URL. Every row's url is accepted by the transcript and batch endpoints as-is. Pass since_video_id to get back only the items newer than one you've already seen - a page with nothing new is free, which makes this safe to poll on a schedule. A YouTube channel also takes tab (its Shorts, live streams, playlists or podcasts instead of its videos), sort (popular or oldest first) and query (search inside the channel). The playlists and podcasts tabs answer with data.kind playlist_list, whose rows' urls the playlist endpoint accepts as-is.

Body parameters

channelstringrequired

YouTube: @handle, /channel/UC… URL, or UC… ID. TikTok: profile URL (tiktok.com/@user). Instagram: profile URL (instagram.com/user/).

Example

tab"videos" | "shorts" | "live" | "playlists" | "podcasts"optional

YouTube channels only. Which tab to list: videos (the default), shorts, or live (streams: past broadcasts and upcoming ones). playlists and podcasts list the channel's playlists instead of its videos: data.kind is playlist_list, and each row's url is accepted by the playlist endpoint. A tab the channel does not have (live on a channel that has never streamed, say) answers 200 with an empty list, which is free, and a notice such as "This channel has no Live tab."

Example

sort"newest" | "popular" | "oldest"optional

YouTube channels only. Order of the videos, shorts or live tab: newest (the default), popular or oldest. popular is YouTube's own Popular order, most viewed first, and it leaves out videos with no views. Not accepted with the playlists and podcasts tabs.

Example

querystring (1-200 characters)optional

YouTube channels only. Search inside this channel: the page holds its videos that match, rather than its latest uploads. Leave tab and sort unset.

limitinteger (1–50)optional

Max items to return per page: videos, or the playlists or channels some listing options return. Defaults to 5.

Example

cursorstringoptional

Opaque pagination cursor from a previous response's next_cursor (max 256 characters). Omit for the first page. Cursors are scoped to the listing that issued them, so send the same platform and listing options with each page. Offset-based sources cannot page past the first 2000 items.

since_video_idstringoptional

Newest video ID you have already seen. The response is trimmed to videos newer than it, and a page with nothing newer costs no credits - so you can poll a channel for new uploads for free. It needs newest-first videos: on a YouTube channel, the videos, shorts or live tab with the default sort and no query.

Request example

curl https://transcriptfetch.com/api/v2/transcripts/channel \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TRANSCRIPTFETCH_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"channel":"https://www.tiktok.com/@khanacademy","limit":10}'
