FAQ

About the TikTok Shop Categories API

The AnyAPI TikTok Shop Categories API returns TikTok Shop categories data as normalized JSON from one POST call to /v1/run/tiktok_shop.categories. List the TikTok Shop category tree for a market: top-level categories with ids, slugs, and images, each with its child categories. AnyAPI returns one normalized schema whichever source serves it. It costs from $1.20 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Over the last 30 days, 100.0% of TikTok Shop categories calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 0.3 seconds across 3 measured calls.

It costs from $1.20 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. You fund one USD wallet and each call draws it down. Some failed wallet-funded requests incur processing charges that we pass through at cost, with no markup; the error response shows the amount charged.

List the TikTok Shop category tree for a market: top-level categories with ids, slugs, and images, each with its child categories. The response is normalized JSON with the same envelope every AnyAPI endpoint returns, so parsing a second endpoint is a change of URL and nothing else.

Over the last 30 days, 100.0% of TikTok Shop categories calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 0.3 seconds across 3 measured calls. These are AnyAPI's own measurements of traffic through the gateway, recomputed continuously, not a published service-level target.

Yes. A new AnyAPI account starts with $0.10 of free balance and no card required, which covers 83 TikTok Shop Categories calls at $0.0012 each.

Send a POST request to https://api.getanyapi.com/v1/run/tiktok_shop.categories with your AnyAPI key in an "Authorization: Bearer" header and the input as a JSON body. The same key and the same wallet work on every AnyAPI endpoint.

No. You add US dollars to one prepaid AnyAPI balance and each request draws it down. There is no monthly plan and no minimum, and the same balance pays for every AnyAPI endpoint.

Yes. Install @getanyapi/sdk from npm for TypeScript or getanyapi from pip for Python. Both call every AnyAPI endpoint with the same key, and any HTTP client works too.

Yes. An agent can connect to the AnyAPI MCP server at https://api.getanyapi.com/mcp, or create its own free-trial key with one unauthenticated POST to https://api.getanyapi.com/agent/signup and call this endpoint over HTTP.
