Social Media API

Douyin API

The deepest Douyin (抖音) data access outside China — videos, billboards, Xingtu, live, and e-commerce.

TikHub's Douyin API covers China's biggest short-video platform with six API series: web and mobile-app endpoints, dedicated search, hot-content billboards, the Xingtu creator marketplace, and Xigua Video. If your research, trading, or marketing intelligence touches the Chinese internet, this is the data layer.

Douyin API — frequently asked questions

Do I need a Douyin developer account to use this API?

No. Sign up for a free TikHub account, create an API key, and call standard REST endpoints. There is no Douyin developer application, app review, or OAuth flow involved — TikHub provides structured access to publicly available data.

What Douyin data can I extract?

Public videos and metadata, user profiles, comment threads, search results across all content types, hot-content billboards and rankings, Xingtu creator marketplace data, live rooms, and e-commerce listings.

How much does the Douyin API cost?

Pay-as-you-go from $0.001 per request, with automatic daily volume discounts down to $0.0005 at 30,000+ requests/day. New accounts get $0.05 free credit (~50 requests) — no credit card required.

Is the Douyin data suitable for AI training?

Yes. Responses are structured JSON, and the same data is available as bulk datasets (CSV, JSON, JSONL, Parquet) for model training, RAG pipelines, and fine-tuning. TikHub collects public data only and operates in alignment with GDPR and CCPA.

What's the difference between the Douyin API and the TikTok API?

Douyin (抖音) is ByteDance's separate Chinese app with its own content, accounts, and infrastructure. TikHub provides dedicated API series for each — including Douyin-only surfaces like billboards and the Xingtu creator marketplace that have no TikTok equivalent.
