TikTok API for developers
Firebox is a fast, API-first way to get TikTok data at scale — profiles, posts, followers, creator search, and audience analytics — returned as clean JSON with a documented OpenAPI spec. Get a key in seconds, no sales call.
What you can pull from the TikTok API
Firebox covers the TikTok surfaces developers actually need, from raw profile data to computed audience insights that most scrapers don't offer:
| Endpoint group | Returns |
|---|---|
/tiktok/user/info | Profile: follower count, following, likes, bio, verification, avatar |
/tiktok/user/posts | A creator's videos with play, like, comment, and share counts |
/tiktok/user/followers | Follower and following lists |
/tiktok/search/creators | Find creators by keyword; filter and rank |
/tiktok/search/videos | Keyword and hashtag video search |
/audience/tiktok/* | Audience geography, language, demographics, interests |
/monitor/video/tasks | Create and track ongoing video monitoring jobs |
That's a slice — the full catalog is 84 endpoints across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, with 35 audience dimensions. Browse them all in the docs.
Example request
Every endpoint is a simple authenticated GET that returns structured JSON:
curl -X GET "https://openapi.scdata.cc/api/v1/tiktok/user/info?unique_id=nike" \
-H "Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY"
# → { "success": true, "code": 0, "data": {
# "unique_id": "nike",
# "follower_count": 8200000,
# "following_count": 120,
# "heart_count": 41000000,
# "video_count": 830, ... } }Why Firebox over a raw TikTok scraper
Most TikTok APIs on the market are raw video/download scrapers racing each other to the cheapest price per request. Firebox is built one layer up:
- Computed analytics, not just raw data — engagement rate, audience demographics, and growth signals, not only counts you have to process yourself.
- Search & discovery — find the right creators by keyword and filters, plus similar-account discovery.
- Multi-platform — the same clean API shape for Instagram and YouTube, so you integrate once.
- Monitoring — track videos and creators over time via API, not one-off pulls.
- Documented & stable — an OpenAPI source of truth, a real console for keys, usage, and billing.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a free TikTok API?
Yes. Firebox has a free tier with trial credits so you can evaluate every endpoint before paying. Paid plans start at $29/month for 30,000 credits, and everything is self-serve — you get a key in seconds, no sales call.
What TikTok data can I get?
Profiles (follower/like counts, bio, verification), a creator's posts with engagement metrics, followers/following lists, keyword and hashtag search for creators and videos, audience analytics (geography, language, demographics, interests), and ongoing video monitoring. The full catalog spans 84 endpoints across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
Do I need TikTok OAuth or a creator login?
No. Firebox returns public creator and content data via a simple API key — you don't need each creator to authenticate, and you don't need TikTok's restricted Research API. Just pass your key in the Authorization header.
How is Firebox different from ScrapTik or other TikTok scrapers?
Those are mostly raw video/download scrapers competing on price per request. Firebox adds the layer above: computed engagement and audience analytics, creator search and discovery, video monitoring, and the same API across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube — so it's built for influencer-marketing and analytics use cases, not just downloading videos.
What format is the response?
Clean, structured JSON with a consistent envelope (success, code, message, data). Examples in the docs reflect today's production shapes, and the catalog stays tied to a public OpenAPI spec for straightforward integration.
