# TikTok Shop Search API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/tiktokshop/search)

> Searches TikTok Shop across every storefront for products matching a keyword, in any supported market. Each result is the same canonical product object `tiktokshop/products` returns, id, title, canonical URL, images, price and original price, rating, review count, sold count, seller, plus the merchandising signals only search carries: the seller trust label, where the item ships from, promotion badges, the category breadcrumb, and the demo video when the listing has one.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/tiktokshop/search` 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 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | yes | Search keyword or phrase to find TikTok Shop products |
| `page` | no | Page number to retrieve. Prefer passing back `pagination.next_cursor`, which carries the same position. |
| `region` | no | Region to search shop products in. Results, prices and currency follow the market; defaults to US. `price.current` and `price.original` are always decimal amounts in the major unit of `price.currency` in every region (10.90 means 10.90 EUR). Outside the US, TikTok prices each shopper session separately, so a product's price can differ between calls and `price.original` appears only when that session was offered a promotion; those responses carry a `session_priced` entry in `data._warnings`. (US \| GB \| DE \| FR \| IT \| ID \| MY \| MX \| PH \| SG \| ES \| TH \| VN \| BR \| JP \| IE) |
| `max_pages` | no | 1 to 50 (default 1, or 50 when `max_items` or `max_credits` is sent). Walk up to this many pages in one call and return the rows from all of them. Each page walked is billed exactly as one call to this endpoint (a cached page is free) and counts against your rate limit; its charge and any refund are recorded under the page's own request id, listed in `data.walk.request_ids`. The walk stops early at the last page, or when the request's time budget runs low; `data.walk.stopped` says why (`end`, `max_pages`, `max_items`, `max_credits`, `time_budget`, `page_error`) and `pagination.next_cursor` continues from where it stopped. |
| `max_items` | no | 1 to 5000. Get more in one call: keep walking pages until the response holds at least this many rows, then stop with `data.walk.stopped: "max_items"`. The last page is returned whole (it was billed), so `data.items` can hold up to one page more than this, and `pagination.next_cursor` resumes right after it without skipping a row. Walks up to 50 pages unless `max_pages` says fewer; each page is billed as one call (a cached page is free). Add `max_credits` to cap the spend. A long walk can stop on the time budget first (`"time_budget"`): send the returned cursor with the same params to continue. |
| `max_credits` | no | 1 to 100000. The most this call may spend, across every page it walks. A page starts only while the credits already spent plus that page's price (or, when higher, the most any page of this walk has cost) still fit, so the call never goes past it; the walk then stops with `data.walk.stopped: "max_credits"` and the cursor to resume. Sent alone, it walks as far as the budget goes (up to 50 pages). A value below the price of one page is a free 400 whose `error.details.page_credits` names that price. Credits a row join (`include=`) adds are known only once a page has run, so page 1 is checked against its own price. |

## FAQ

### How do I search TikTok Shop products with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/tiktokshop/search with the query parameter set to your keyword. SocialCrawl returns a paginated list of matching products with prices, ratings, review counts, and seller info.

### Which TikTok Shop regions does the search endpoint support?

16 regions including US, GB, DE, FR, IT, ID, MY, MX, PH, SG, ES, TH, VN, BR, JP, and IE. Pass the region parameter with the 2-letter ISO code to scope the search to that market.

### What fields does each TikTok Shop search result include?

Each result returns product id, title, price, currency, rating, review count, sold count, primary image URL, seller name, and a deep link to the product page, in exactly the same unified product schema the shop listing returns, plus search-only signals like the seller trust label and shipping origin.

### How do I paginate through TikTok Shop search results?

Pass back pagination.next_cursor from the previous response until has_more is false. Rows are de-duplicated across pages, so a page-and-concatenate crawl does not pay for products it already has.

### How much does the TikTok Shop Search API cost?

Each request costs 1 credit on the standard tier regardless of how many products are returned per page. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card required.
