# TikTok

The deepest coverage: profiles, every post stat, keyword, hashtag and sound search, comments, transcripts, media, trends and footage matching.

## What you can get

| Data | Status | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Profiles | Live | A public account's name, followers and, where the platform shows them, bio and verified status. |
| Posts and stats | Live | Each public post with its caption, date, length, views, likes, comments and shares. |
| Keyword search | Live | Public posts that match a word or phrase, in a date window. |
| Hashtag search | Live | Public posts under a hashtag. |
| Sound search | Live | Public videos that use a sound or song. |
| Comments | Live | The public comments under a post, with likes and replies. |
| Transcripts | Live | The words spoken in a video, from the platform's captions or speech-to-text. |
| On-screen text | Live | Text written on the video or its cover: titles, captions burned in, show names. |
| Media files | Live | The video or audio file of a public post, for your own analysis. |
| Audience (estimated) | Live | Commenters' estimated age, gender and country; creators' audience countries. |
| Trends | Live | Formats many creators are adopting, with their stage: just starting, rising, at its peak, cooling off, back again. |
| Footage matching | Live | Clips matched to the exact moment of your own long-form video they came from. |

## Post fields

Every platform returns the same post shape ([all fields](https://docs.sonderlabs.co.uk/concepts#the-post)). On TikTok:

- Photo carousels come back as posts with `durationSec` 0.
- Transcripts come from TikTok's own captions first, then speech-to-text on short videos.
- Search also takes a creator's reposts and a sound's videos.

Search kinds: `keyword`, `hashtag`, `sound`, `account`.
