Full share URLs (/@user/video/<id>) and vm.tiktok.com short links both resolve cleanly.

Response

transcript is a plain string with newlines between spoken lines — there is no per-line timing in the TikTok response, and no title field. videoUrls is included whenever the upstream exposes a downloadable video URL; it is omitted when none is available.

FAQ

No. The API can only fetch transcripts for publicly viewable videos. Private accounts and videos behind a follow-gate aren’t supported.
If the upstream returns a video URL but no captions, you’ll get a 200 with transcript: "" and a videoUrls object — and you’ll be charged 1 credit. If the upstream returns no captions and no video URL, you’ll get a 404 with error: "No transcript available for this video" and you won’t be charged.
Live streams aren’t supported. Once a Live is saved as a regular video and is publicly viewable, it works like any other URL.
Yes. We resolve them server-side — you don’t need to expand the link before calling the API.
No — the TikTok response shape is intentionally lean: transcript, optional videoUrls, and credits. If you need the author handle, parse it from the URL you submitted.
