# TikTok Search Scraper API

The TikTok Search Scraper API lets you search TikTok by keyword for videos or users. Video results include description, hashtags, stats, cover and playable URLs, and author info; user results include nickname, bio, avatar, verified flag, and follower count. Results are paginated with a token.

<Info>
  HasData is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by TikTok. TikTok is a trademark of its respective owner. This API works with publicly available data only.

## Get Your API Key

Sign in at [hasdata.com](https://app.hasdata.com/sign-in), go to your account settings, and copy your API key.
All requests must include your key in the `x-api-key` header.

## Request Cost and API Credits

Each request to the TikTok Search Scraper API consumes **API Credits** from your account balance.

* **Cost per request:** 10 API Credits
* Credits are deducted only for successful requests.
* Your total available credits depend on your active plan.

<Tip>You can use your credits across all HasData APIs. The same credit balance is shared platform-wide.</Tip>
<Warning>**Unused credits do not roll over.** Any remaining credits expire at the end of the current billing period.</Warning>

To monitor your credit usage and remaining balance, sign in to your account dashboard at [app.hasdata.com](https://app.hasdata.com/sign-in).
