    “Reliable parsers and flexible API for audience search”

    I like the convenient documentation and conditions at ScrapeAtlas. The parsers work great: I use keyword data from fresh threads to find target audiences and clients in Threads. I also appreciate the higher quality API responses and more detailed request customization. The initial setup was very easy for me.

Frequently Asked Questions

TikTok API and scraping

What video and creator data can I retrieve with the TikTok API?

Retrieve profiles, videos, photo posts, captions, comments, follower and following records, live-room information, hashtags and sounds. Search and trending endpoints support creator and content discovery.

How do I scrape TikTok videos from a creator profile?

Use Profile Videos to retrieve a creator’s video feed, then pass a selected post to Video Details for its content, media and engagement fields. Profile adds the creator’s public identity and account statistics.

Can the TikTok API find creators by keyword?

Use Search Users to discover accounts with usernames, biographies, follower counts, total likes, verification and avatars. Follow up with Profile for the selected creator’s user record and statistics.

TikTok: audience comments and topic discovery

How do I scrape TikTok comments and comment replies?

Use Video Comments to retrieve text, authors, likes and reply counts. Comment Replies retrieves replies to a selected comment with reply-target information. Continue each feed using its cursor to build a conversation research dataset in your application.

Can the TikTok search API find videos by keyword, hashtag or sound?

Yes. Keyword Search supports date and sorting filters, Hashtag Search returns videos associated with a hashtag, and Song Videos retrieves posts using a selected sound. Top Search combines videos and photo carousels.

Can I retrieve TikTok video captions through the API?

Yes. Video Transcript retrieves the caption file published for a video, including creator or automatic captions. Select the caption language to use the returned WebVTT text in your application’s video research and indexing workflow.

API access and integration

How do I get a ScrapeAtlas API key and authenticate requests?

Create a ScrapeAtlas account and generate an API key in the dashboard. Send the key in the x-api-key request header when calling https://api.scrapeatlas.com. The API playground lets you enter an endpoint’s parameters and inspect its JSON response.

Can I call the scraping API from Python, JavaScript or the CLI?

Yes. Send authenticated HTTP requests from Python, JavaScript or another language that supports HTTP. The endpoint reference includes request examples and response fields. Use the ScrapeAtlas CLI for terminal workflows and pass the returned pagination values when requesting additional result pages.

Can I connect an AI assistant to the ScrapeAtlas MCP server?

Yes. Connect an MCP-compatible assistant to the ScrapeAtlas MCP server to discover and call the public platform tools with your ScrapeAtlas account. The agent reference also gives coding assistants a readable guide to the endpoints and their request schemas.
