TikTok Video Scraper

Scrape TikTok videos from every angle

A useful TikTok video scraper is not one endpoint - videos live in feeds. Sometimes you start from a creator and want their whole output, sometimes from a hashtag mid-trend, sometimes from a sound that is starting to spike, and sometimes all you have is a keyword. TikLiveAPI covers each entry point with a dedicated endpoint that returns a common video object - the same IDs, caption, media URLs and engagement counters on every route - so one parser handles all of them, with the few differences noted below.

Every call is an authenticated HTTPS GET against https://api.tikliveapi.com with your key in the X-Api-Key header. Responses are synchronous JSON - no actor runs, no dataset exports, no polling loop.

Six ways into the video graph

What each scraped video gives you

The core video object is the same across feeds. The fields that matter most in practice:

Example: archive a creator's channel

curl "https://api.tikliveapi.com/user-posts/?userid=107955" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Trimmed response:

{
  "videos": [
    {
      "video_id": "7680721699171601694",
      "title": "this summer was all about the classic hits. here's to the ones that never got away 💿 #SongsofTheSummer2026",
      "duration": 56,
      "play_count": 437140,
      "digg_count": 19944,
      "comment_count": 5390,
      "create_time": 1788307388,
      "music_info": { "id": "7680721756763523871", "title": "original sound - tiktok" }
    }
  ],
  "cursor": "1787930211535",
  "hasMore": true
}

Add count=35 to fetch the maximum per page, pass cursor back exactly as received, and loop while hasMore is true to cover the channel. On /user-posts/ the cursor is a millisecond timestamp string; the other feeds return small integers. The production concerns - retry policy, dedupe keys, storing media before URLs expire - are covered in bulk TikTok video archiving patterns, and the search-driven variant in the search API patterns guide.

Downloads, watermarks, and scope

If your goal is specifically clean media files rather than metadata, the dedicated video download API returns direct MP4 and MP3 URLs per video. For everything else the scraper reads exactly what a logged-out visitor sees: public videos only, no private accounts, no login, no watermark stripping on your side.
