Frequently asked questions
What does the TikTok Profile Region API do?
The TikTok Profile Region API lets you fetch profile or page details and audience stats from a public TikTok profile or page using one GET request to /v1/tiktok/profile-region. It returns clean JSON — no OAuth or infrastructure setup required.
How many credits does the TikTok Profile Region API cost?
Each successful call costs 2 credits. Pass cache=true to serve from the 24h cache (0 credits on hit); default is always fresh. Hits include cached + cachedAt. Selected profile endpoints also accept cacheMaxAge=1d|3d|7d|14d|30d. Failed or empty results are never charged.
Do I need a TikTok API key or OAuth?
No. A single Captapi key works across every platform Captapi supports — YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, Reddit, Threads, Bluesky, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Rumble, Spotify, Kwai, and more. We handle proxies, rate limits, retries, and authentication for you.
