Questions.
How does the Unified Credit System work?
$1 equals 10,000 Credits (1 Credit = $0.0001). Every endpoint deducts credits based on the data returned, with a minimum floor of 10 Credits ($0.001) per successful request: 2 Credits per video ($0.20 / 1,000 videos), 1 Credit per comment ($0.10 / 1,000 comments), 1 Credit per follower/user ($0.10 / 1,000 users), and 10 Credits ($1.00 / 1,000 calls) for single video 1080p parses or profile lookups.
Should I choose a Monthly Plan or Pay-As-You-Go (One-Time Top-Up)?
Both credit your account with the exact same bonus credit packages (Starter 250,000 Credits, Pro 1,200,000 Credits, Business 5,000,000 Credits). Pay-As-You-Go top-ups have no recurring billing and your purchased credit balance never expires. Monthly subscriptions save up to 24% more for steady production workloads.
How much does it cost to scrape 100,000 TikTok videos or followers compared with tikapi.io?
At 2 Credits per video ($0.20 / 1,000 videos, up to 30 videos per call), 100,000 videos cost $20 base (or $11.50 on the Pro plan). At 1 Credit per follower (up to 200 followers per call), 100,000 followers cost $10 base (or $5.75 on the Pro plan) — up to 80% less than tikapi.io and legacy scraping actors.
Am I charged when a request fails or is rate-limited?
Never. Only HTTP 200 responses with code === 0 deduct credits. Upstream errors, invalid URLs, rate-limited requests (HTTP 429), and gateway timeouts (HTTP 5xx) cost 0 Credits.
What are the concurrency and RPM rate limits?
Free Trial accounts include 2,000 Credits and 30 RPM. Paid accounts scale from 120 RPM (Starter) and 300 RPM (Pro) up to 600 RPM (Business). Our gateway also runs an adaptive RPM watermark scheduler with multi-key pool failover to prevent HTTP 429 spikes under burst traffic.
What payment methods are accepted?
You can top up instantly from the dashboard using USDT or USDC (Tron, BNB Smart Chain, Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Polygon) as well as BTC, SOL, and BNB, or pay by card via Lemon Squeezy.
What is your refund policy?
Payments made within the last 30 days can be refunded up to the unused purchased balance on your account. Promotional signup credits have no cash value.
