TikTok Research API Wrapper

Introduction

The TikTok Research API Wrapper is a ToolKit built in R and Python to facilitate the use of TikTok Research API. Our Wrapper Toolkit supports the following endpoints: Videos, User Info, Video Comments, User Liked Videos, User Pinned Videos, User Followers, User Following, and Reposted Videos.

Quick Start

R and Python are among the most popular languages among researchers. The TikTok Research API Wrapper is a code package that provides an interface between your application and TikTok's research APIs for these two languages. This tutorial provides the basic information needed to use our wrapper and includes sample code for your reference.
