1The call
curl -H "x-api-key: $SS_KEY" \ "https://api.socialsearchapi.com/v1/tiktok/profile/posts?handle=tiktok"
This call costs 2 credits. A new account starts with 50 free credits on any platform: create a key in the dashboard and this command runs as-is.
2Why not build this 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.
