TikTok Scraper API

TikTok data on demand: keyword post search with sort/date filters, profile lookup by handle, followers and followings, hashtag and music/sound feeds, location-based posts, and comment threads — one plain HTTP GET per call, paid as you go. No login, no session cookies, no browser automation, no TikTok developer app review.

Base URL: https://tiktok.fetcher.sh

Quick reference


Base URL	`https://tiktok.fetcher.sh`
Auth	`Authorization: Bearer bby_live_...` or x402 (USDC)
Price	$0.004/call (flat)
Endpoints	13, all `GET`
MCP	`https://tiktok.fetcher.sh/mcp`
Machine-readable	`/openapi.json` · `/llms.txt` · `/skill.md`

Which endpoint do I need?

I want to...	Call
Search posts by keyword (optionally most-liked/recent)	`GET /api/post/search`
Look up a post by its share URL	`GET /api/post?url=...`
Look up a profile by @username	`GET /api/user/handle/{username}`
Get a user's posts, followers, or followings	`GET /api/user/{id}/posts` / `/followers` / `/followings`
Get a post's comments	`GET /api/post/{id}/comments`
Find posts under a hashtag	`GET /api/hashtag/{id}/posts`
Find posts using a specific sound	`GET /api/music/{id}/posts`

Full param details for every row: references/endpoints.md.

Authentication

Two ways to pay, same data — full mechanics in the fetcher skill:

# 1. Prepaid credits (recommended — get a key at https://fetcher.sh/topup
#    or via POST /api/credits/topup, see the fetcher skill)
export FETCHER_API_KEY="bby_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://tiktok.fetcher.sh/api/post/search?keyword=hello"

# 2. x402 pay-per-call — omit the header; a GET with no payment returns 402
#    with machine-readable payment requirements (USDC on Base, Polygon,
#    Arbitrum, Monad, or Solana). @x402/fetch signs and retries automatically.

Every response is { "status": number, "message": string, "data": ... }; the HTTP status mirrors status.

Endpoints (13 — all GET, $0.004/call)

reddit-automation

flowkit-labs/skills

Find Reddit threads where people are genuinely asking for what you offer, then draft short, genuinely helpful replies — disclosing your affiliation honestly and naming your product only when it truly answers the question. Two moves: discovery — scan the right subreddits for real needs (recommendation asks, expressed pain, competitor mentions) and rank the few threads where you can actually help; drafting — write from real experience, respect each community's self-promo rules, and keep a human in the loop to review and post. This markets on Reddit the honest way: contribute value, disclose who you are, never astroturf. Distilled from the playbook behind doany.ai's Reddit agent. Triggers on "find reddit opportunities", "reddit marketing", "reddit automation", "reply on reddit for my product", "reddit community engagement", "reddit lead gen", or any ask to turn Reddit threads into genuine, disclosed marketing replies.
