Why Choose This API

Structured TikTok Transcript Data for B2B Content Pipelines

🎙️ AI Speech-to-Text with Timestamped Segments The transcript object delivers AI-generated speech recognition output with per-segment timestamps (start, end, text) — enabling subtitle generation, keyword extraction at specific timestamps, and downstream NLP processing for content intelligence pipelines.

🌍 100+ Language Translation Set translate to any of 100+ supported languages to receive an AI-translated translation object alongside the original transcript — enabling cross-market content analysis, multilingual competitor monitoring, and localized content strategy intelligence.

📊 Video Performance Metadata Each record includes view_count, like_count, comment_count, shares_count, and published_at alongside the transcript — enabling correlation between video content and performance signals for content strategy benchmarking.

🎵 Audio Track Intelligence The audio_title and audio_artist fields identify background music tracks per video — enabling audio trend analysis, sound-led content strategy intelligence, and music attribution for brand partnerships.

📋 Author & Channel Context The author, author_id, and author_url fields provide creator attribution per transcript — enabling content-to-creator mapping, competitive creator intelligence, and transcript dataset attribution for downstream workflows.

FAQ

What languages can be transcribed?

The AI speech recognition model supports automatic language detection from the video audio. 100+ languages are supported for the optional translation output.

How are timestamps formatted in segments?

Segments use HH:MM:SS.mmm format (e.g., "00:00:03.500") with start and end timestamps per segment. This format is compatible with standard SRT/VTT subtitle workflows.

Can I transcribe and translate in the same run?

Yes — set both video_url and translate in the same input. The output will contain both transcript (original language) and translation (target language) objects with timestamped segments.

Is translation charged separately?

Yes — translation is charged at $0.15 per video in addition to the base transcript fee of $0.38 (BRONZE). Runs without translate set are charged only the transcript rate.
