TikTok Live Info API use cases

Plan a TikTok Live Info request

A researcher checks the published operation description and supplies room_id, user_id for TikTok Live Info. The request stays within the supported parameters rather than assuming other platform capabilities.

Inspect TikTok Live Info results

An analyst reviews platform, resourceStatus from TikTok Live Info for the requested subject. Missing values remain explicit, and the response does not establish complete platform coverage.

Document TikTok Live Info observations

A researcher records the inputs and available results from TikTok Live Info alongside its published description. The record supports a scoped review without inferring unsupported actions, refresh intervals or broader conclusions.

TikTok Live Info API FAQ

What does the TikTok Live Info API return?

Read curated TikTok live-room details using a room ID, including title, owner and viewer counts. The documented output includes platform, resourceStatus. It corresponds to the supplied room_id, user_id. Optional fields can be absent; a missing value should not be interpreted as a measured zero. Example values illustrate the response shape, rather than live account results.

How many credits does the TikTok Live Info API cost?

The current documented cost is At least 10 credits / call. This is the same cost shown at the top of this page. If a range or estimate is displayed, the final charge depends on the request. Review your available credits and the pricing page before calling the API, and check API usage records for the actual charge.

How do I call the TikTok Live Info API from my app or an MCP client?

Step 1 of 3 · Authenticate

Authentication

All run endpoints require a user API key. Send it as a bearer token in the Authorization header.

Authorization: Bearer nk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Missing or invalid API keys return an authentication error. Manage keys from .

HTTP status codes

CodeDescription
200Default HTTP response for both success and many business errors. Only outer JSON code 0 indicates success or asynchronous acceptance; inspect data for the result.
429Execution admission rate limit; honor Retry-After when present.
503Execution admission is temporarily unavailable; honor Retry-After when present.
Opt-inX-Nexscope-Http-Status: semantic maps controller-handled business errors to HTTP status on run and task routes. Pre-authentication failures, such as a missing API key (code 11209), may still return HTTP 200 before this mapping. Always check the outer JSON code; malformed requests and infrastructure failures may also return non-200 HTTP responses.

Request parameters

NameTypeRequiredDescription
room_idstringrequired
TikTok live room id. Get this from `/v1/tiktok/user/live` in `liveRoomUserInfo.roomId` or `liveRoom.id` when the user is live.
Example: 7523685855395842871
user_idstringrequired
TikTok numeric user id for the live owner. Get this from `/v1/tiktok/profile` in `user.id`.
Example: 6742945285876515845

Social data contract

Use your Nexscope API key. No supplier credentials are required. Requests reject unknown fields, including pageSize. URLs require HTTPS and an exact supported platform host and resource path. Documented YouTube video URLs may use youtu.be; other short links are unsupported. Check the request schema for supported fields and defaults.

Each request fetches one page. Continue manually with the returned nextCursor, or nextPage for Instagram Reels (pages 1–11). Cursors are opaque, unchanged strings up to 65536 UTF-8 bytes. No automatic pagination, retry, media download or transcription is performed. Repeated requests may purchase data again.

Resource status is independent of HTTP and billing: AVAILABLE, PARTIAL, PRIVATE, RESTRICTED, NOT_FOUND, NO_TRANSCRIPT or UNKNOWN can accompany code 0. Unknown values remain null; arrays remain empty arrays. fetchedAt is the response observation time; sourceFetchedAt is null without source evidence.

usage.billingStatus is NOT_CHARGED, SETTLED or UNKNOWN; chargedCredits is null when unconfirmed. Unknown charges never mean free. Completed lookups have a minimum charge of 10 credits, including cached, no-caption and unavailable-resource results; check API usage records for the actual charge. Parameter errors and unpublished APIs use the standard error envelope; upstream failures use code 13007, rate limits 429 and timeouts 408. Always check code and msg.

Data source, freshness, and limitations

Source, freshness, coverage, rate limits, and estimation notes are not specified in this API definition unless they appear in the request or response field documentation above. Do not assume official marketplace data or real-time freshness when it is not explicitly documented.

Step 1 of 2 · Connect your MCP client

MCP

V2 recommended

Connect remote agents through the standard MCP 2025-11-25 Streamable HTTP endpoint. Use OAuth 2.1 Authorization Code with PKCE, or an API key for compatibility.

POST https://api.nexscope.ai/mcp
MCP-Protocol-Version: 2025-11-25
Content-Type: application/json
Authentication

OAuth clients request the mcp:tools scope. The endpoint's 401 response advertises protected-resource metadata for authorization discovery.

Step 2 of 2 · Call the tool

Legacy MCP v1

Existing API-key clients can continue using the compatibility endpoint. New integrations should use MCP v2.

Question

What data can TikTok Live Info provide, and how might I use it?

AI answer

Gets curated room-level info for a TikTok live from TikTok's public live-room source. Use /v1/tiktok/user/live first to find the room_id. If you only have a TikTok handle and need the user's numeric id, use /v1/tiktok/profile first to get user.id. This endpoint is separate from /v1/tiktok/user/live because it uses a different upstream call and returns a smaller response with the most relevant fields: room_id, like_count, viewer_count, status, title, cover_url, and owner.

Data categoryDocumented fieldsHow to use them
Requestroom_id, user_idProvide the required identifiers, filters, or paging inputs listed in the API document.
Responsedata.data, data.platform, data.resourceStatusInspect returned values and source references; availability depends on the request and upstream source.
  • Review TikTok Live Info.
    • Prompt example: “Retrieve TikTok Live Info for [existing live room ID], [numeric user ID]. Summarize only the information actually returned and preserve source links when available. Report private, restricted, missing or partial results explicitly; missing values are not zero.”
  • Prepare a Snapshot of Returned Public Counts.
    • Prompt example: “Retrieve TikTok Live Info for [existing live room ID], [numeric user ID] and make a compact table of the public counts actually returned. Keep each count attached to its item or account, label estimates and preserve the observation time when supplied. Do not invent engagement rates, historical growth, unique audience size or missing values.”
  • Verify a Live Room’s Owner.
    • Prompt example: “Look up [live room ID] with [its owner’s numeric user ID]. Compare the returned owner ID and username with [my expected creator], and show the room title and status. Flag an identity mismatch or access refusal before I use this room in my research; do not treat refusal as account deletion.”

These are suggested workflows, not completed lookups. Report missing, restricted, or partial data explicitly; verify the live response before making a decision.

Online test

Execute the current API with your API key and JSON payload. Online tests use this site's configured API environment; the Endpoint and copyable examples use the public integration address.

One request fetches one page. Copy nextCursor into cursor, or nextPage into page (1–11 for Reels), then run manually. Repeated requests may purchase data again. Completed lookups have a minimum charge of 10 credits, including cached, no-caption, private, restricted and not-found results. Resource status and actual billing status are independent; null credits are unknown, never free. Check usage.billingStatus, usage.chargedCredits and API usage records for the actual charge.
