TikTok Data API: Get Posts, Comments, Profiles & Trends via REST

The TikTok data API from SocialHolmes gives developers programmatic access to TikTok's public data — posts, comments, user profiles, trending feeds, hashtags, and more — via a clean REST interface. Free to start, cheap to scale.

What TikTok data can you access?

SocialHolmes exposes 20+ endpoints across the full TikTok data surface:

• TikTok posts — video metadata, view counts, like/comment/share stats, captions, hashtags, and watermark-free download URLs for any public video.
• TikTok comments — full comment threads and nested replies for any video, paginated.
• User profiles — follower/following counts, bio, post lists, reposts, and liked videos.
• Trending feeds — real-time trending videos by country/region.
• Hashtag data — hashtag info, view counts, and all posts under a tag.
• Keyword search — search TikTok videos, users, and hashtags by keyword.
• Sounds and music — track metadata and all videos using a specific sound.
• TikTok Ads — Ads library data for competitive research.
