per 1,000 videos.
Multi-network social APIs price every page request uniformly while returning only 10–30 items per call. TikTokAPI.io is purpose-built for TikTok data pipelines—delivering up to 35 videos or 200 follower profiles per request, direct 1080p no-watermark MP4 URLs, and Creative Center commercial ads in a single REST schema.
Cost per 1,000 scraped videos
Pro & Business packages add +40% to +65% bonus credits, bringing effective video cost down to $0.08–$0.115 per 1,000 videos.

Why engineering teams switch from SociaVault.
Dedicated TikTok Batch Sizes Cut Request Volume by 6x
Fetching 10,000 followers takes 50 requests on TikTokAPI.io (200 users/page at $1.00 total) versus 330+ requests on generic multi-platform scrapers.
Zero Charge on Empty Search Pages or Deleted Videos
If a creator profile has 0 matching posts, a video was deleted, or an upstream node times out, TikTokAPI.io deducts 0 Credits automatically.
Organic + Commercial Ad Intelligence Under One Key
Combine creator engagement analytics (/v1/user/posts) with Creative Center top ads (/v1/ads/top/ads) without maintaining two separate vendor integrations.

Frequently asked questions
- Does TikTokAPI.io support Bearer token headers as well as x-api-key?
- Yes. You can pass your tk_live_... key either in x-api-key or Authorization: Bearer <key>, making drop-in SDK migration straightforward.
- Do PAYG credits expire if our scraping schedule is seasonal?
- No. Pay-As-You-Go credit packs ($25, $89, $249) never expire, and you can also switch to Monthly plans ($19, $69, $199) whenever you want recurring volume bonuses.
