TikTok Live Status Scraper API

The TikTok Live Status endpoint is one API call: send an account handle with your HProxy key and get back a clean, structured JSON object. Check whether a TikTok creator is live right now, with viewer count, stream title and playback URLs in each quality. HProxy runs the proxies, sessions, anti-bot handling and parsing server-side, so there is no headless browser to babysit and no parser to keep fixing when TikTok changes its markup. You only ever touch the JSON.
  • 0.15¢ per call
  • $1.49 per 1,000
  • Takes an account handle
  • Errors and timeouts are not charged

The call

One GET, and the live status comes back as JSON.

Your key goes in one header. 1 required parameter, and the answer is the object below it.

How it works

Scraping TikTok live status, in three steps.

You write one line. Proxies, anti-bot walls, rendering and parsing happen on our side.

  1. 1

    Create a free account

    Sign up and top up any amount. The balance pays for every HProxy product.
  2. 2

    Grab your API key

    One key from the dashboard authenticates every scraper.
  3. 3

    Call the endpoint

    Send the GET you need and read the JSON. That is the entire integration.

What people build with it

Where the TikTok live status endpoint earns its keep.

  • Notify a community the second a creator goes live.

  • Trigger automations off live status.

TikTok live status questions

Answered before you ask.

The reference

Send one authenticated HTTPS request to the TikTok Live Status endpoint with an account handle and your HProxy API key. Check whether a TikTok creator is live right now, with viewer count, stream title and playback URLs in each quality. No proxies, no headless browser and no parsing on your side. The response is ready-to-use JSON.

This endpoint is 0.15¢ per successful call, which is $1.49 per 1,000. It bills from your HProxy balance with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Errors are retried and never charged; a lookup whose target does not exist counts as a call.

The API only accesses publicly available TikTok data, the same pages anyone can open in a browser. You are responsible for using the data in line with applicable laws and TikTok's terms for your use case.

A structured JSON object with the full live status data TikTok exposes publicly. See the fields listed above. The schema is consistent across calls, so you integrate once and rely on it.

No. Every call runs on HProxy's own residential network behind the scenes, so requests look like real users. The proxy layer is already included in the per-call price.

More on the TikTok Live Status API

What the TikTok Live Status endpoint returns

Check whether a TikTok creator is live right now, with viewer count, stream title and playback URLs in each quality. The JSON object carries isLive, viewerCount, title / startedAt and playbackUrls. Nothing is summarised away on our side, so what you read in the response is what the TikTok live status page itself holds.

What you send to the TikTok Live Status API

The call takes an account handle. Required: handle. Optional: trim. Your key travels in the X-API-Key header, the response is JSON, and the call is billed at 0.15¢, $1.49 per 1,000.

Posts and media on other platforms

The same posts and media data is available on 13 other platforms: Facebook Profile Reels, YouTube Channel Videos, Instagram Post, LinkedIn Company Posts, Twitter / X User Tweets, Reddit Subreddit Posts, Threads User Posts, Pinterest Pin, Twitch User Videos, Bluesky User Posts, Spotify Track, Truth Social User Posts and Kick Clip. They share this endpoint's JSON shape, its per-call billing and your one API key, so moving from TikTok to another network is a change of URL rather than a second integration.

Is scraping TikTok live status allowed?

The endpoint reads publicly available TikTok data, the same pages anyone can open in a browser without logging in. It does not touch private accounts or anything behind a password. How you then use the data is yours to keep lawful, under the rules that apply to you and to TikTok.

Ready when you are.

Your dashboard is ten seconds away. No sales call, no subscription, no minimum.
