​
Overview

The TikTok Intel API is distributed exclusively through RapidAPI. Authentication is handled by passing your RapidAPI subscription key in a request header — no OAuth flows, no token rotation, no expiry management.
If you call the API directly (not through the RapidAPI gateway), you must include the x-rapidapi-key header manually. When using RapidAPI’s built-in proxy or code snippets, the header is injected automatically.

​
Getting a key

  1. Go to the TikTok Intel API listing on RapidAPI.
  2. Click Subscribe to Test and select a plan.
  3. Your key is shown in the Security section of the API playground — copy it.

​
Sending the header

curl -X GET \
  "https://tiktok-marketing-intelligence-api-production.up.railway.app/api/v1/users/charlidamelio" \
  -H "x-rapidapi-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
