## What it does

The skill gives an agent access to TikTok data through HTTP GET endpoints. It can search posts by keyword with sorting and date filters, resolve a post from its share URL or ID, and retrieve a profile’s posts, followers, or followings. Hashtag, sound, and location feeds are available too, along with comments and replies.

Requests use either a Bearer key backed by prepaid credits or x402 payments in USDC. Each call costs $0.004, and the MCP server can search endpoints or fetch data. Without a key, you’ll need to set up x402 payments; otherwise data requests won’t go through. The service does not require TikTok login or browser automation.

  TikTok profile by @username, pull a user's posts, followers, or followings,
  fetch a hashtag's posts, pull posts using a specific sound/music track, get

# TikTok API

TikTok data on demand: keyword post search with sort/date filters, profile
lookup by handle, followers and followings, hashtag and music/sound feeds,
location-based posts, and comment threads — one plain HTTP GET per call, paid
as you go. No login, no session cookies, no browser automation, no TikTok
developer app review.

Base URL: `https://tiktok.fetcher.sh`

## Quick reference

| | |
| --- | --- |
| Base URL | `https://tiktok.fetcher.sh` |
| Auth | `Authorization: Bearer bby_live_...` or x402 (USDC) |
| Price | $0.004/call (flat) |
| Endpoints | 13, all `GET` |
| MCP | `https://tiktok.fetcher.sh/mcp` |
| Machine-readable | `/openapi.json` · `/llms.txt` · `/skill.md` |

## Which endpoint do I need?

| I want to... | Call |
| --- | --- |
| Search posts by keyword (optionally most-liked/recent) | `GET /api/post/search` |
| Look up a post by its share URL | `GET /api/post?url=...` |
| Look up a profile by @username | `GET /api/user/handle/{username}` |
| Get a user's posts, followers, or followings | `GET /api/user/{id}/posts` / `/followers` / `/followings` |
| Get a post's comments | `GET /api/post/{id}/comments` |
| Find posts under a hashtag | `GET /api/hashtag/{id}/posts` |
| Find posts using a specific sound | `GET /api/music/{id}/posts` |

Full param details for every row: [`references/endpoints.md`](references/endpoints.md).

## Authentication

Two ways to pay, same data — full mechanics in the [`fetcher`
skill](../fetcher/SKILL.md):

```bash
# 1. Prepaid credits (recommended — get a key at https://fetcher.sh/topup
#    or via POST /api/credits/topup, see the fetcher skill)
export FETCHER_API_KEY="bby_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://tiktok.fetcher.sh/api/post/search?keyword=hello"

# 2. x402 pay-per-call — omit the header; a GET with no payment returns 402
#    with machine-readable payment requirements (USDC on Base, Polygon,
#    Arbitrum, Monad, or Solana). @x402/fetch signs and retries automatically.
```

Every response is `{ "status": number, "message": string, "data": ... }`; the
HTTP status mirrors `status`.

## Endpoints (13 — all GET, $0.004/call)
