[ FAQ ]

TikTok Video API questions

How do I find a TikTok video ID?

It is the long number at the end of the video link, for example 7698770783367171359 in tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7698770783367171359.

Can I get a TikTok video transcript?

When TikTok has captions for the video, subtitles lists links to the caption files with their language and whether they were generated automatically.

How do I use the TikTok Video API?

Send a POST request to https://api.bridgly.app/tiktok/get-video with videoId in the JSON body and your API key in the Authorization header. In the TypeScript SDK, call client.tiktok.getVideo(). AI agents connected to Bridgly over MCP can call the tiktok_get_video tool.

How much does the TikTok Video API cost?

Costs 1 credit per request. Credits cost $2.00 per 1,000 on pay-as-you-go and as low as $1.00 per 1,000 at volume. New accounts on a business email start with 100 free credits, and failed requests are never charged.
