What can we learn from its first three seconds? ## What it does Four steps. Only the second calls endpoints, so only the second costs money. 1. Show the plan first: Free, and needs no key: the most calls and the most money this run can come to. ```bash dataxapi run viral platform=tiktok id=7665840565958872333 --plan ``` 2. Run it, capped at that amount: Each line is one endpoint of the example run, at its listed price. | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | [TikTok video detail](https://dataxapi.com/apis/tiktok/videos/get/) `GET /v1/tiktok/videos/get` | 1 × $0.0020 | $0.0020 | | [TikTok video transcript](https://dataxapi.com/apis/tiktok/videos/transcript/get/) `GET /v1/tiktok/videos/transcript/get` | 1 × $0.0020 | $0.0020 | 2 calls · at most $0.0040. A call that fails is not charged. The run stops rather than spend more than its cap. ```bash dataxapi run viral platform=tiktok id=7665840565958872333 --yes --max-spend 0.004 --out viral.csv ``` 3. Line everything up in one table: 13 columns, the same on every platform; a column a platform does not give is empty. No call, no cost. 4. Your AI reads the table and answers: What the table means is for your AI to say. It ends with where the data came from and when. ## What you get back An illustration of the table, with the task's real columns. The names and figures in it are made up. | Text | Author | Published at | Likes | Views | Transcript | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | POV: pour-over at 2,400 m | trailbrew | 2026-10-08T15:02:11Z | 61204 | 482310 | Okay, so we are at twenty-four hundred metres, and water boils at ninety-two degrees up here… | All 13 columns: `post_id` (Post ID), `url` (Link), `type` (Format), `title` (Title), `text` (Text), `author` (Author), `published_at` (Published at), `likes` (Likes), `comments` (Comments), `shares` (Shares), `favorites` (Favorites), `views` (Views), `transcript` (Transcript) ## Inputs it needs | | | | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `platform` | one platform | The platform the post is on | `tiktok` | | `id` | text | The post's ID; its link on the platforms that take only a link (Facebook, WeChat Official Accounts) | `7665840565958872333` | ## Last verified run - Date: 2026-10-13 - Platforms: TikTok - Calls: 2 - Charged: $0.0030 - Rows: 1 - Against: the platforms, live ## Related A ready-made Skill of [Trends and topics](https://dataxapi.com/solutions/trends/) Other Skills of this job: [Trends and topics](https://dataxapi.com/skills/trends/), [Videos to text](https://dataxapi.com/skills/transcripts/) The 24 endpoints it uses: [Bilibili video detail](https://dataxapi.com/apis/bilibili/videos/get/) ($0.0020), [Douyin video detail](https://dataxapi.com/apis/douyin/videos/get/) ($0.0020), [Facebook post detail](https://dataxapi.com/apis/facebook/posts/get/) ($0.0020), [Instagram post detail](https://dataxapi.com/apis/instagram/posts/get/) ($0.0020), [Instagram video transcript](https://dataxapi.com/apis/instagram/posts/transcript/get/) ($0.0020), [Kuaishou video detail](https://dataxapi.com/apis/kuaishou/videos/get/) ($0.0020), [LinkedIn post detail](https://dataxapi.com/apis/linkedin/posts/get/) ($0.0020), [LinkedIn video transcript](https://dataxapi.com/apis/linkedin/posts/transcript/get/) ($0.0020), [Pinterest pin detail](https://dataxapi.com/apis/pinterest/pins/get/) ($0.0020), [Reddit post detail](https://dataxapi.com/apis/reddit/posts/get/) ($0.0020), [Reddit video transcript](https://dataxapi.com/apis/reddit/posts/transcript/get/) ($0.0020), [Telegram message detail](https://dataxapi.com/apis/telegram/messages/get/) ($0.0020), [Threads post detail](https://dataxapi.com/apis/threads/posts/get/) ($0.0020), [TikTok video detail](https://dataxapi.com/apis/tiktok/videos/get/) ($0.0020), [TikTok video transcript](https://dataxapi.com/apis/tiktok/videos/transcript/get/) ($0.0020), [WeChat Channels video detail](https://dataxapi.com/apis/wechat_channels/videos/get/) ($0.0200), [WeChat Official Account article detail](https://dataxapi.com/apis/wechat_mp/articles/get/) ($0.0200), [Weibo post detail](https://dataxapi.com/apis/weibo/posts/get/) ($0.0020), [X post detail](https://dataxapi.com/apis/x/posts/get/) ($0.0003), [X video transcript](https://dataxapi.com/apis/x/posts/transcript/get/) ($0.0020), [Xiaohongshu note detail](https://dataxapi.com/apis/xiaohongshu/notes/get/) ($0.0200), [YouTube video detail](https://dataxapi.com/apis/youtube/videos/get/) ($0.0020), [YouTube video transcript](https://dataxapi.com/apis/youtube/videos/transcript/get/) ($0.0020), [Zhihu answer detail](https://dataxapi.com/apis/zhihu/answers/get/) ($0.0020) Platforms it runs on: [Bilibili API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/bilibili/), [Douyin API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/douyin/), [Facebook API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/facebook/), [Instagram API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/instagram/), [Kuaishou API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/kuaishou/), [LinkedIn API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/linkedin/), [Pinterest API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/pinterest/), [Reddit API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/reddit/), [Telegram API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/telegram/), [Threads API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/threads/), [TikTok API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/tiktok/), [WeChat Channels API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/wechat_channels/), [WeChat Official Accounts API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/wechat_mp/), [Weibo API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/weibo/), [X (Twitter) API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/x/), [Xiaohongshu (RedNote) API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/xiaohongshu/), [YouTube API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/youtube/), [Zhihu API](https://dataxapi.com/apis/zhihu/) --- Generated from catalog revision c48ce454ae6c4c65, price book 2.
