Processing speed is typically a few seconds per video. For high volume, send requests concurrently and cache results — transcripts don’t change once a video is published.
Send a TikTok URL and get back a timestamped transcript as JSON. Use the SDKs or call the REST endpoint from any language.
Need plain text instead of segments? Add text=true and you’ll get a single string back.
Do I need a TikTok API key?
No. Supadata handles all access to TikTok internally — you only need a Supadata API key. No TikTok developer account required.
What happens when a TikTok video has no captions?
Supadata transcribes the audio using AI speech recognition, so you get accurate, timestamped text even when TikTok provides no native captions.
What languages are supported?
100+ languages with automatic detection. Request a specific language with the lang parameter or omit it to auto-detect.
How do timestamps work?
Each transcript is a content array where every entry has text, offset (start time in ms), and duration — ready for subtitles, search, and clips.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. Every account starts on the Free plan with 100 free credits per month, no credit card required.
What SDKs and integrations are available?
Official Python and JavaScript/TypeScript SDKs, plus no-code integrations with Zapier, Make, n8n, and Active Pieces. See the docs for details.
Developers search for this endpoint under several names. They all map to the same request:
Pair it with /v1/metadata for the video’s author, description, view and like counts, or with the Video Analysis API to turn the transcript into structured JSON from a prompt.
If you just need the text of a single TikTok, skip the API: the free TikTok transcript generator takes a link and gives you TXT or SRT in seconds, no sign-up.
