Usage notes

Good for

  • Use it to discover public TikTok videos and content trends around a keyword.

Not for

  • Do not use it for user search, ad delivery data, or search-volume estimates.

Known limitations

  • sort_type=0 is relevance and 1 is most liked; publish_time is in days, 0 means any time.
  • video carries cover and play URLs, which expire.
  • Result order is set by the platform and does not explain ranking causality.
  • Only the returned DataXAPI cursor can continue the same query.
  • Nested objects such as the author are returned as upstream sends them, minus tokens, account-binding flags, privacy settings, and tracking fields; avatar and media links inside them may expire.

Billing

¥0.02 per call. Nonempty complete results are charged; empty, partial, and failed results are not.
