TikTok Video Details API

What is the TikTok Video Details API?

Paste any public TikTok video URL and the TikTok Video Details API returns the full picture as clean JSON: the caption, when it was posted, how long it runs, and its engagement — views, likes, comments, shares, and saves. You also get the creator (username, display name, follower count, verified badge, and avatar), the sound/music name, the list of hashtags, and a thumbnail image. Use it to build analytics dashboards, track a campaign, or enrich a content database. This endpoint focuses on metadata and stats. No TikTok login and no proxies or infrastructure to maintain on your side. Pass cache=true to serve from the 24h shared cache (0 credits on hit); default is always fresh.

What you get

• Caption, publish date, and video duration
• Views, likes, comments, shares, and saves
• Creator profile — handle, name, followers, verified, avatar
• Sound name, hashtags, and thumbnail image

Fill in the parameters below and copy a ready-to-run request, or open the live Playground to run it against your account (no API key paste).
