TikTok Scraper
Get TikTok Transcript
Extracts existing transcripts, captions, or subtitles from a TikTok video by URL. Returns id, url, and transcript (native captions are WEBVTT-formatted; AI fallback returns text). AI fallback is opt-in via use_ai_as_fallback=true and is used only when native captions are unavailable. Over 120 seconds, videos cannot be AI-transcribed by default. These routes remain synchronous. Allow at least 30 seconds on your client.
