Free TikTok API: Get TikTok Data Free — No Credit Card Required

Looking for a free TikTok API? SocialHolmes gives you 100 requests per day at no cost — no credit card, no trial period, no expiry. Sign up and get an API key in under a minute.

What's included in the free TikTok API plan

• 100 requests/day across all 20+ endpoints
• TikTok video metadata and watermark-free download URLs
• User profiles, follower counts, and post lists
• Trending feeds by country
• Hashtag search and keyword search results
• Comment threads and replies
• Sound and music metadata

Every endpoint available on paid plans is also available on the free plan. The only limit is volume — 100 req/day.

How to get a free TikTok API key

1. Sign up at tik.socialholmes.com — email only, no card.
2. Open the dashboard and copy your API key.
3. Make your first call:

curl "https://tik.socialholmes.com/api/v1/user/info?unique_id=charlidamelio"   -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

You'll get back a full JSON profile in under 200ms.

Free TikTok API vs paid plans

The free plan is enough for prototyping, personal projects, and small research tasks. When you need more volume, paid plans start at $29/mo for unlimited monthly requests — still far cheaper than any per-request alternative.

Plan	Price	Requests	Rate limit
Free	$0/mo	100 req/day	No cap
Starter	$29/mo	Unlimited/mo	60 req/min
Pro	$99/mo	Unlimited/mo	200 req/min
Business	$299/mo	Unlimited/mo	600 req/min
