Example request

This example uses the real Search TikTok videos endpoint. Exact request fields come from the endpoint metadata.

Recipe request

Use environment variables for secrets and keep Crawlora API keys server-side.

curl -X GET "https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/tiktok/search?keyword=dance&count=10" \
  -H "x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY"

Example response

Use endpoint detail pages for exact response schemas. This recipe does not invent response fields.

Generated example response

{
  "code": 200,
  "msg": "OK",
  "data": {
    "type": 1,
    "data": [
      {
        "item": {
          "id": "7627480436649757959"
        }
      }
    ],
    "cursor": 20,
    "has_more": 1,
    "status_code": 0
  }
}

Storage/output suggestion

Store snapshots by video ID and timestamp so trend scores can be recalculated as engagement changes.

Error handling

Validate required inputs before calling Crawlora
Retry 429 and temporary 5xx responses with capped backoff
Log endpoint, input, timestamp, and request ID when present
Treat empty results as a state your application can handle
Open /docs/errors for production retry guidance

Rate-limit and credit planning

Estimate usage by multiplying requests by endpoint credit cost. The table below only shows real credit costs available from the billing constants.

Endpoint	Credit cost	Docs
Search TikTok videos	8 credits/request	/docs/TikTok/tiktok-search
Retrieve TikTok video details	8 credits/request	/docs/TikTok/tiktok-post

Production checklist

Keep API keys server-side
Use request timeouts
Back off on rate limits
Store raw responses or source IDs for auditability
Monitor credits and failures
Avoid unnecessary refreshes
Review responsible-use requirements
