TikTok LIVE stream API questions

How much does the TikTok LIVE stream API cost?

1 credit per successful call. Errors and cached results are free, and new accounts start with 100 free credits, no card required. See pricing.

Do I need a TikTok account or API key?

No. You only need a Scraperize API key, sent in the x-api-key header. Scraperize returns publicly available data. No TikTok login or developer app is needed.

How fresh is the data?

Each call fetches the data live. To trade freshness for cost, pass cache_max_age (e.g. 1h, 1d) to get a recent cached result instantly for 0 credits.

In the API reference, with every parameter, field and error.
