Build on public TikTok LIVE data

The Toktik Developer API exposes the whole data-plane — rankings, LIVE sessions, gifters, creators, content and trends — behind bearer API keys, priced in one prepaid credit currency. A realtime WebSocket streams LIVE events for any creator on demand. Every observed answer carries a provenance envelope, so you always know how fresh it is and how it was obtained.
