TikTok API

API

API for accessing TikTok user info and public video posts

Overview

The TikTok API (via Login Kit) enables developers to retrieve authenticated user details (profile bio, follower counts, following stats) and the user’s public video posts. It uses RESTful endpoints with OAuth 2.0 authentication and returns JSON responses. Use cases include integrating TikTok content into social media management tools, building creator analytics dashboards, embedding user videos into websites, or creating cross-platform social aggregators. Access is subject to TikTok’s developer policies and rate limits.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://developers.tiktok.com/doc/login-kit-web')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
