Search TikTok with one API call

Read TikTok — creator videos and hashtag search — without building or maintaining a scraper. Maintained upstream. Same response shape as every other platform here, so one parser handles all of them. 3 credits a call.

The call

curl -H "x-api-key: $SS_KEY" \
  "https://api.socialsearchapi.com/v1/tiktok/user-videos?handle=nasa"

This call costs 3 credits once you are on credits. A new account gets 5 free calls on any platform — verify an email and this command runs as-is.

Why not just scrape it yourself

TikTok signs its web requests and geo-redirects unknown clients, so a plain GET returns an About page rather than data. Reproducing the signing is a moving target that breaks on their release schedule, not yours.
