FAQ

Does Douyin have an official API?

Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, has an open platform for approved apps acting with their users' permission; it generally does not expose public data such as any video's comments, search results or the hot list. Qovia serves that public data through one API key.

What Douyin data can I get?

Video details, comments and comment replies, creator profiles and their videos, general, user and live search, the hot search board, hashtag videos and Douyin Shop product reviews. Xingtu creator data for brand deals is on the Douyin Xingtu page.

Do I need a Douyin account or cookies?

No. All you need is a Qovia API key: no accounts, cookies, proxies or request signing to maintain.

How is it billed?

Prepaid and per call: only successful calls that return data are charged, and empty results, errors and timeouts are not. Every response says what it cost (meta.charged_usd). Each endpoint's price is in the API reference.

Can I use it from Claude, Cursor or other AI tools?

Yes. Qovia is also an MCP server (https://api.qovia.ai/mcp): add it to Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code with your API key and the AI finds the endpoint, pulls the data and summarises it.

What should I keep in mind when using the data?

Qovia provides a data API service and claims no ownership of the underlying content. Use the data under applicable law and Douyin's platform rules; see our terms of service.
