TikTok Video Transcript Scraper API

The TikTok Video Transcript endpoint is one API call: send a URL with your HProxy key and get back a clean, structured JSON object. Pull the full timestamped transcript of any TikTok video, every spoken line with its start and end time, with an AI fallback. 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.

The reference

Send one authenticated HTTPS request to the TikTok Video Transcript endpoint with a URL and your HProxy API key. Pull the full timestamped transcript of any TikTok video, every spoken line with its start and end time, with an AI fallback. No proxies, no headless browser and no parsing on your side. The response is ready-to-use JSON.

This endpoint is 1.64¢ per successful call, which is $16.39 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 video transcript 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.

Docs and AI

Connect your scraper to an AI, any time.

The whole Scraper API is published as markdown, so an assistant reads every endpoint, every parameter and a real response without a key and writes your integration. And because a scrape is one GET that answers in JSON, an agent can run the scraper itself, on its own schedule, with your key.

An agent can call it

One GET with your key returns structured JSON, so an agent scrapes on its own schedule. No browser to drive, no parser to keep alive between runs.
