Frequently asked questions

What does the TikTok Song Details API do?

The TikTok Song Details API lets you fetch full metadata and key stats from a public TikTok sound or track using one GET request to /v1/tiktok/song-details. It returns clean JSON — no OAuth or infrastructure setup required.

How many credits does the TikTok Song Details API cost?

Each successful call costs 1 credit. Pass cache=true to serve from the 24h cache (0 credits on hit); default is always fresh. 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.

Does playUrl expire?

Usually no. Song-details playUrl typically has no x-expires and no hex path stamp — unlike video URLs (~24h) and cover art (~48h x-expires). mediaUrlsExpireAt is null next to a populated playUrl when the audio URL is unsigned; that is correct, not a missing parse. If coverUrl is signed, mediaUrlsExpireAt is the cover stamp. Persist the music id.

Why was id different from the number in the URL?

A 19-digit TikTok music id is past Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER. Anything that touches it as a JS number (JSON.parse, a numeric cast) silently rounds it — the classic trailing-zero signature (…896000 instead of …895873). This endpoint now keeps the URL id as a string end to end. Use id as the join key; it matches the URL and popular-songs songId.

Is the TikTok Song Details API suitable for production use?

Yes. It is a stable REST endpoint with predictable JSON and automatic retries. Pass cache=true to serve from the 24h cache (0 credits on hit); default is always fresh. Selected profile endpoints also accept cacheMaxAge=1d|3d|7d|14d|30d. Use it for analytics, monitoring, and content automation.
