Frequently asked questions
What does the TikTok Music Posts API do?
The TikTok Music Posts API lets you list items in bulk with metadata from a public TikTok video using one GET request to /v1/tiktok/music-posts. It returns clean JSON — no OAuth or scraping setup required.
How many credits does the TikTok Music Posts API cost?
Each successful call costs 32 credits. Responses are cached for 24 hours, and cached results cost 0 credits. Failed or empty results are never charged.
