TikTok Research

TikTok content and creator intelligence through SandBase. Search videos, analyze creator profiles, track hashtag performance, discover trending content, and research live streams. Read the API map before selecting a capability.

Call SandBase capabilities

Use the capability identifiers below as discovery hints, not MCP tool names. Find the matching endpoint with sandbase_discover(q: "<provider and capability>"); use its returned name in sandbase_inspect(name: "<returned name>"). Read inputSchema, pricing, and execute_as, then call sandbase_run using execute_as.arguments.name and schema-defined arguments. If a run_id is returned, poll sandbase_run_get(run_id: "<returned run_id>") within the task budget until completed or failed; report pending or failed runs without resubmitting them automatically.

Operating principles

• Use TikTok data for content research and market intelligence only.
• Preserve attribution: include video URLs, creator handles, view counts, dates.
• TikTok metrics are volatile — note observation timestamps.
• Never attempt to post, like, comment, or follow on the platform.
