# TikTok Effects API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/tiktok/effects)

> Looks up TikTok effects (the camera filters creators apply to a video) by id, up to 50 in one request for a single credit. Each row carries the effect name, its designer, the total views of videos made with it under `post.engagement.views`, and the number of such videos under `post.ext.video_count`. Match results by the returned `post.id`, never by position: repeated ids are collapsed into one row and ids TikTok does not recognise are omitted, so the response can be shorter than the list you sent. A request in which no id is recognised returns `404 RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND` and is refunded.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/tiktok/effects` costs 1 credit per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `ids` | yes | Comma-separated TikTok effect ids, up to 50 per request. |
| `since` | no | Only rows published on or after this date: YYYY-MM-DD (midnight UTC) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Rows older than it are left off each page. This list is not in date order, so the walk does not stop at the date: keep following `next_cursor`, and each page costs what a page costs even when every row on it is filtered out. A row with no date is kept. `published_after`, `start_date`, `from_date`, `publish_time` (`yesterday`, `this-week`, `this-month`, `last-3-months`, `last-6-months`) and `max_age_days` are accepted and applied as `since`. |
| `until` | no | Only rows published on or before this date: YYYY-MM-DD (that whole UTC day is included) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Newer rows are left off each page and the walk does not stop, so older pages follow. A row with no date is kept. `published_before`, `end_date` and `to_date` are accepted and applied as `until`. |

## FAQ

### What does the TikTok Effects API return?

Returns TikTok camera effects by id, each with its name, its designer, the views of videos made with it, and how many such videos exist. The response uses the same JSON envelope as every SocialCrawl endpoint, with the data, credits_used and request_id fields.

### When should I use the TikTok Effects endpoint?

Use it to look several effects up in one call, and match results by the returned id. Repeated ids collapse and unknown ids drop, so the response can be shorter.

### How much does the TikTok Effects API cost?

Each call costs 1 credit, so the 100 free credits every new account gets cover 100 calls. Credits for failed or empty calls are refunded automatically, and there is no subscription.

### What parameters does the TikTok Effects API need?

The one required parameter is ids (comma-separated TikTok effect ids, up to 50 per request). It also accepts 2 optional parameters, all listed on this page.

Send a GET request to https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/tiktok/effects?ids=1108584%2C1109028 with your API key in the x-api-key header. An Authorization: Bearer header works too.
