Search › Hashtag GET

Returns TikTok videos posted under a given hashtag, each with caption, view, like, comment and share counts, author details, and a thumbnail. Use it to track one tag such as a campaign or challenge; use search when you want a free text keyword rather than a tag. **Metered: 20–100 credits.** We reserve the ceiling when the call starts and charge what it actually used when it finishes. Re-running the exact same call within 1h is free. Paginates by `cursor` — see [Pagination](/docs/pagination).

Search › Suggestions GET

Returns the autocomplete suggestions TikTok's own search box shows for a partial query, as a list of suggestion rows. Use it for keyword research, or to expand a seed term before running search or search/top. **20 credits** per call. Re-running the exact same call within 1h is free.
