Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Tiktok API
Do I get the actual video files?
No, we provide the video URLs or IDs and metadata. The raw video file download is not handled by the API; you get links that can be used to stream or download if you have a tool for it. Our focus is on data (captions, counts, etc.).
Can you scrape private or friends-only accounts?
No, only publicly visible profiles and videos can be accessed. If an account is private or a video’s visibility is restricted, our API cannot retrieve that data.
Does it handle TikTok’s infinite scroll or dynamic content loading?
Yes, our backend navigates TikTok’s web interface, handling scrolling to load multiple pages of results for hashtags or user videos. You just specify how many items you want, and we take care of the rest.
TikTok changes often; will this keep working?
We continuously maintain the scraper to adapt to TikTok’s site changes or anti-bot measures. As a user, you shouldn’t notice interruptions — if TikTok updates something significant, we usually patch the scraper quickly to ensure continuous service.
