Tiktok data scraping APIs provide powerful tools for extracting valuable data. These APIs allow businesses and developers to access a wealth of information which can be leveraged for analytics, marketing, trend monitoring, and more.

With platforms like EnsembleData, you can efficiently gather structured data in real time, empowering several applications such as social media monitoring, influencer marketing, competitive analysis, and brand management.

2. Verify email address

Before you start making requests to the EnsembleData API, you’ll need to verify your email address. We require this to prevent spam. You should have received an email from us with a verification link. Click on the link to verify your email address.

The API won’t respond with any data until you’ve verified your email address.


3. Access Tiktok data API with Python

In this example, we’ll use Python for fetching and scraping Tiktok Music Details:

import requests

root = "https://ensembledata.com/apis"
endpoint = "/tt/music/details"
params = {
  "id": "7063948643480488709",
  "token": "YOUR-TOKEN-HERE"
}

res = requests.get(root+endpoint, params=params)
print(res.json())
