🚀 Performance Tips

💰 Save Money

• Skip Video Recording: Turn off record_video if you only need chat and viewer stats — this avoids the extra $0.00057 per-second recording charge.

• Record Only When Live: Only start a run when you know the creator is actually streaming to avoid wasting credits.

• Short Sessions: Set a run_time limit if you only need a sample of the stream activity.

⚡ Get Better Results

• Use Full URLs: Always use the complete live link (https://www.tiktok.com/@username/live) for the fastest connection.

• 1-Minute Clips: The default upload_every: 1 minute gives you frequent video clips and event snapshots — a good balance of detail and cost.

• Multiple Streams: To record several creators at the same time, start a separate run for each one.

📊 Tips for Reviewing Results

• Check is_replay: Make sure you're watching a real live broadcast, not a pre-recorded replay.

• Compare Viewers: Look at current_users vs total_user to see how many stayed vs just peeked.

• Shop Sellers: Use has_tiktok_shop to quickly find which streams are selling products.

❓ FAQ

Is this free to use?

There's no subscription. Each run starts at $0.00005, Actor Usage is $0.00001, monitoring metadata costs $0.00096 per second, and enabling video recording adds $0.00057 per recorded second on top. Try a short run_time first to estimate your cost.

Can I download the recorded video?

Yes! Turn on record_video and each finished clip gets a public download link in the video_url field. Download it directly or share the link.

Does it work with age-restricted streams?

Yes, the tool handles standard age restrictions automatically. However, streams that are private or limited to the streamer's friends list cannot be accessed.

How long does it take?

Recording starts instantly. Results appear in your output at every upload_every interval (default: 1 minute). The run ends when the stream finishes or your run_time limit is reached.

What live events are captured?

Comments, gifts, joins, likes, follows, shares, subscribes, emotes, red envelopes, donations, and viewer count updates — each with a UTC timestamp and the user who triggered it.

Can I tell if a stream is a pre-recorded loop?

Official replays are flagged with is_replay: true. For unofficial loops, you can check if viewer counts and engagement stay unusually steady over time.
