TikTok Popular Songs API
Removed 26 Sep 2026 — TikTok deleted the public Creative Center song chart in its TikTok One migration. Calls answer 410 Gone at 0 credits; the endpoint returns if TikTok restores the chart.
This endpoint was removed on Sep 26, 2026.
TikTok deleted the public Creative Center song chart in its TikTok One migration (September 2026): the music page lost its songs tab and the chart API answers 40101 no-permission to anonymous sessions, so there is no honest data to serve on any path.
Every call answers 410 Gone (ENDPOINT_REMOVED) at 0 credits. The endpoint will be re-enabled if TikTok restores the chart — hashtag, video, and creator trend endpoints are unaffected.
GET request to /v1/tiktok/popular-songs that responds with clean JSON and costs 2 credits. Pass cache=true for a free 24h cache hit; default is always fresh. Start with 100 free credits — no credit card.What is the TikTok Popular Songs API?
Removed on 26 September 2026. This endpoint served TikTok's official Creative Center sound chart (inspiration/popular/music) with rankType=popular|surging, newOnBoard, commercialMusic, country, period and page filters. In its TikTok One migration (September 2026) TikTok deleted that public surface: the music page now lands on a trends hub without a songs tab and the chart API answers 40101 no-permission to anonymous sessions. Native and extended paths scraped the same removed surface, so there is nothing honest to serve — every call now answers a definitive 410 Gone (code ENDPOINT_REMOVED, retryable false) at 0 credits instead of an endless retryable 5xx. If TikTok restores the chart, the endpoint will be re-enabled with the same contract. TikTok popular hashtags, trending videos, and popular creators are unaffected.

Frequently asked questions
What does the TikTok Popular Songs API do?+
The TikTok Popular Songs API lets you list items in bulk with metadata from a public TikTok sound or track using one GET request to /v1/tiktok/popular-songs. It returns clean JSON — no OAuth or infrastructure setup required.
How many credits does the TikTok Popular Songs API cost?+
Each successful call costs 2 credits. 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 access, rate limits, retries, and authentication for you.
Why does every call answer 410 Gone?+
The endpoint was removed on 26 September 2026. TikTok deleted the public Creative Center song chart in its TikTok One migration: the music page now lands on a trends hub without a songs tab and the chart API answers 40101 no-permission to anonymous sessions. Native and extended paths scraped that same surface, so there is nothing honest to serve — the 410 (code ENDPOINT_REMOVED, retryable false) is a definitive verdict at 0 credits, not an outage. If TikTok restores the chart, the endpoint will be re-enabled.
Is there an alternative for TikTok music trends?+
Not a like-for-like one: the Creative Center chart was the only public ranked song list, and we do not substitute a For You feed sample as a chart. TikTok popular hashtags, trending videos, popular creators, song-details, and music-posts are unaffected — song-details and music-posts still work for a specific sound you already know.
Will it come back?+
If TikTok restores a public song chart, yes — the scraping and verdict machinery is kept intact and the endpoint will be re-enabled with the same contract (same path, same parameters). Watch the changelog.
Is the TikTok Popular Songs 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.
