Frequently asked questions
How do I get the transcript of a TikTok video?
POST the TikTok URL to our transcript endpoint (or paste it into an AI assistant connected to our MCP server). If the video has captions we return them instantly; if not, the audio is transcribed with AI and delivered within a couple of minutes.
Does it work for TikToks without captions?
Yes. When no caption track exists, the endpoint automatically falls back to AI speech-to-text transcription of the video's audio, returned in the same timestamped JSON format.
Can I use TikTok transcripts in ChatGPT or Claude?
Yes - TranscriptFetch ships an MCP server, so agents in Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients can fetch TikTok transcripts mid-conversation with the get_transcript tool.
How much does it cost?
1 credit per successful transcript, and every account starts with 100 free credits - no credit card required. You only pay for transcripts that succeed.
