For developers and data teams
Build on observed TikTok LIVE data
If you are building a tool, a dashboard or a research pipeline on TikTok LIVE data, Toktik's API saves you running the collection yourself: ranking boards, gifter boards, the agency directory, per-creator performance and a realtime event stream, over REST and WebSocket, with each response carrying when and how it was observed.
Updated
What you get
One key and one prepaid wallet cover every dataset. Each dataset needs one scope on the key, so a key can be limited to exactly what an integration uses.
- Rankings, gifter boards and the agency directory
- Per-creator LIVE performance
- A realtime stream of gifts, joins and battle updates
Numbers you can cite
Responses are versioned and carry their provenance: the observation time, the source and the coverage. A figure in your report rests on a documented response you can reproduce, rather than a scrape that changes under you.
Predictable cost
Credits are prepaid, so an integration stops with a clear error rather than running up a bill. The free tier needs no card and allows cached reads, 5,000 requests a day, with masked leaderboards, so you can build the whole integration before you pay anything.
SDKs and guides
Official SDKs exist for JavaScript and TypeScript and for Python. The guides run end to end: install, authenticate, read rankings, stream events and handle errors.
Look at the data first
These pages are free and need no account, so you can judge the data before you decide anything.
Plans
The free tier has no card. Paid plans start at $15 a month for the Live module and $18 for the Bundle, with hard caps. See the pricing page for what each tier raises. See pricing.
What Toktik does not do
The API serves public data Toktik observes, so coverage has gaps that the methodology page lists. It is not an official TikTok API and TikTok's private account data is not available through it. How the data is collected.
Frequently asked questions
Is this an official TikTok API?
No. Toktik is independent and not affiliated with TikTok. It serves the public LIVE data it observes, with the coverage stated on the methodology page.
Is there a free tier?
Yes, with no card: cached reads only, 5,000 requests a day, and masked leaderboards.
Can I stream events in realtime?
Yes. Open a WebSocket stream for the creators you follow and receive decoded events. The SDKs handle the handshake token and resubscribing, and the free tier has a small connection and room-minute allowance.
Which languages are supported?
Any language that can send HTTPS requests, with official SDKs for JavaScript and TypeScript and for Python.
Where do I start?
Read the TikTok LIVE API overview, make the first cURL request with a free key, then follow the Python or Node.js guide.
