Request body
JSON, posted to this endpoint.
- urlstring
https://www.tiktok.com/@cristiano/video/7375000000000000000
TikTok video URL on tiktok.com: a video or photo post (https://www.tiktok.com/@<user>/video/<id> or /photo/<id>) or a vm.tiktok.com, vt.tiktok.com or tiktok.com/t/ share link. A profile link (https://www.tiktok.com/@<user>), a /@<user>/<id> link without /video/ (TikTok sends it to the For You feed, not a video), a video file link (tiktokcdn.com) or a link to any other site is refused as invalid input, with no charge.
- requireFieldsarray
Optional; omit it and routing is unchanged, with the cheapest source serving. Name the output fields this request must be able to return, for example `language`, and it is served only by a source that returns every one of them. Fields you do not name are still returned whenever the serving source has them. This can raise your price: when the cheapest source cannot return a named field, a dearer source serves, and you are quoted and charged its price. A named field can still be absent on a video that genuinely lacks it. Naming a combination that no single source returns together is refused as invalid input, with no charge.
Response
JSON, one example value per field.
- idstring
TikTok video id the transcript belongs to.
- languagestringcan require
en
Language of the caption track, or null when the serving source does not report it.
- transcriptstring
Today is matchday and we are ready to give everything for the win.
Populated whenever the provider has data for the entity.
- urlstring
https://www.tiktok.com/@cristiano/video/7375000000000000000
Canonical TikTok URL of the video.
- foundboolean
true
- reason"not_found"
Present only when `found` is false, and says why there is no result. `not_found`: the source states the target does not exist, or returned nothing for it. A `found: false` answer is a successful call, not an error, and `costUsd` is what it actually cost.
