TikTok Download API
TikTok's player breaks every other week.
We deal with it.
Built for developers shipping repurposing tools, content moderation pipelines, and creator analytics. One endpoint covers videos, photo posts, and metadata — across the breakage.

}'What you don't have to deal with
Web player rewrites
TikTok rotates their playback layer constantly. Your code calls one URL and it keeps working.
Watermark stripping logic
When a watermark-free source is available we return it directly. No ffmpeg crop hacks.
Region locks
Our proxy pool covers the regions TikTok cares about. Bans don't leak into your error budget.
Photo posts and slideshows
Same endpoint returns the image set plus the audio track. No special-case branch in your code.
Metadata gymnastics
Author, caption, hashtags, music, view counts — structured JSON, not HTML scraping.
Storage and retention
Drop straight into your S3/R2 bucket, or use our temporary signed URLs. Files purge after 7 days.
