FAQ

Q: Do I need to provide cookies or a login? No. The scraper works entirely with public TikTok videos.

Q: What if a video has no subtitles? The scraper emits one row per video with success=false and message="No transcript available". All metadata fields remain populated.

Q: How many rows will I get per video? One row per available language. TikTok often provides 5–10 languages per popular video (one creator-uploaded plus several machine translations).

Q: Are machine-translated captions included? Yes. The source field tells you whether a transcript was uploaded by the creator (Creator) or auto-translated by TikTok (MT).

Q: Which video URL formats are supported? Standard TikTok video URLs such as https://www.tiktok.com/@username/video/1234567890123456789.

Q: Can private or deleted videos be scraped? No. Private, deleted, or region-restricted videos will return a failure row with an explanatory message.

Limitations

• Only public videos are supported
• Some videos may be region-restricted
• Videos without any TikTok-generated captions cannot produce transcripts
