Example request
curl "https://api.insightsocial.app/v1/tiktok/video/screen-text?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tiktok.com%2F%40stoolpresidente%2Fvideo%2F7499229683859426602" \
  -H "x-api-key: $INSIGHTSOCIAL_API_KEY"
GET
/v1/tiktok/video/screen-text

Returns the text shown on the video itself: native text stickers plus AI OCR of the cover frame, so burned-in editor captions are caught too.

Beta. The source's own structure under our naming rules (snake_case keys, string ids, ISO times where the source gives a timestamp), not one of the schema-2 entities. Fields may change. See Schema 2.

Use it for the on-screen overlay text; the caption lives on post and the spoken words on post/transcript.

50 credits per call.
