Sound

One sound — its title, artist and how many videos use it.

POST /api/public/v1/scrape/tiktok/sound

Returns sound_api

Parameters#

music_id string required

Numeric sound id, from the `music.id` of any video result.

Example: 7678067441229990670

Results#

GET /runs/:id/results answers with this once the run has finished — one sound per row.

Every row also carries raw_json — the platform's own object for that row, exactly as it arrived, with nothing removed. It is left out of the example for length.

This endpoint errs towards returning more rather than less, so expect a few extra rows alongside what you asked for. Everything still comes back typed and parsed the same way.
