Supported TikTok URL formats

Accepted TikTok post, profile, and playlist URLs and IDs for the TranscriptFetch API.

Send a TikTok permalink, short share link, or bare video ID. TranscriptFetch detects TikTok and resolves the input before fetching captions or transcribing the audio. Profile and playlist listings require a full TikTok URL so the API can identify the platform.

Availability requirements

Example request

Use the same input with REST or either official SDK.
