Scrape Creators API / Search by Hashtag

ScrapeCreators tool scrapecreators-tiktok-search-hashtag on looot: input fields, $0.00188 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

Searches for TikTok videos under a specific hashtag, useful for finding content by topic or trend. Returns aweme_list, an array of video objects each with aweme_id, desc (caption), statistics (play_count, digg_count/likes, comment_count, share_count), video info, and author details. Paginate with cursor from the previous response. TikTok may return duplicate results.

Inputs

Name Type Required Description
cursor number no
hashtag string yes
region string no
trim boolean no

Output

The run’s result holds the provider’s answer. Signed in, looot inspect scrapecreators-tiktok-search-hashtag prints its fields.

Run it

Every call needs your API token in LOOOT_TOKEN; Sign in shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With wait: 30 the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll GET /v1/runs/<runId>.

Example input with placeholder values:

curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"scrapecreators-tiktok-search-hashtag","input":{"hashtag":"<hashtag>"},"wait":30}'
const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LOOOT_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "scrapecreators-tiktok-search-hashtag",
    input: {
      hashtag: "<hashtag>",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
import os
import uuid

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['LOOOT_TOKEN']}",
        "Idempotency-Key": str(uuid.uuid4()),
    },
    json={
        "endpointId": "scrapecreators-tiktok-search-hashtag",
        "input": {
            "hashtag": "<hashtag>",
        },
        "wait": 30,
    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))

To let looot pick among every provider of this job instead, send job:tiktok.hashtag.search as endpointId; see the job page.
