A Python walkthrough for GET /v1/tiktok/products. Copy the snippet, run it, then read the JSON.
GET /v1/tiktok/products · 1 credit
In this tutorial
You'll pull a public TikTok Shop product and see the fields you get back.
Typical job: watching a set of products. You have public /shop/pdp/… links from ads, search or a creator's shop, and you store each product's title, price, sales and rating from data.product. The optional region picks which country's shop to read. For reviews, a whole store, keyword search or a creator's showcase, use the other TikTok Shop routes.
Step 1
Get ready
Create a Social Fetch API key and get Python ready. New accounts include 100 free credits.
API key. Create a Social Fetch account, open API Keys and create a key. New accounts include 100 free credits.
Python setup. Python 3 with requests installed (pip install requests). Set SOCIALFETCH_API_KEY to your key.
When you're done, SOCIALFETCH_API_KEY is set in your shell.
Step 2
Make the request
Copy the Python sample and run it. It calls GET /v1/tiktok/products with your key in the x-api-key header, using this example: /v1/tiktok/products?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tiktok.com%2Fshop%2Fpdp%2Fgoli-ashwagandha-gummies-with-vitamin-d-ksm-66-vegan-non-gmo%2F1729587769570529799®ion=US.
It prints the response as a Python dict with data and meta. An error status stops the script at raise_for_status() instead.
Step 3
Read the response
The response is JSON with two parts: data holds the Shop products and meta holds creditsCharged and requestId. The sample below is a trimmed copy of a real response; the endpoint page lists every field. Credits are charged on completed lookups, not on failed requests.
Check data.lookupStatus first when the response has one. Keep meta.requestId in case a row looks wrong.
Watch out
pass the public product page URL, not just the product id. A product that isn't sold in the chosen region can fail rather than come back empty. This route reads one product by URL; to find products by keyword, use GET /v1/tiktok/shop/products/search.
Step 4
You finished
The Playground, the docs and your code all call the same endpoint at the same price. Pick a next step below.
FAQ
Common questions
Do I need an official TikTok developer account?
No. Social Fetch authenticates with your Social Fetch API key. You call GET /v1/tiktok/products and we handle the lookup. You still need to follow each platform's terms for how you use public data.
What does the TikTok Shop products endpoint return?
JSON with two parts: data holds the Shop products and meta holds creditsCharged and requestId. The endpoint page and the API docs describe every field.
TikTok Shop product detail vs store catalogue vs search?
Use GET /v1/tiktok/products for one product page URL. Use GET /v1/tiktok/shop/products when you have a store URL. Use GET /v1/tiktok/shop/products/search to search the Shop by keyword. Reviews are GET /v1/tiktok/products/reviews, and a creator's showcase is GET /v1/tiktok/profiles/{handle}/showcase-products.
Do I need a TikTok Shop seller account for this tutorial?
No. You only need your Social Fetch API key, sent as x-api-key. The route reads public Shop product pages. It doesn't act for a seller account.
How much does a successful request cost?
1 credit. Failed requests are free.
Is this okay for production?
Yes. It's the same API the Playground and the docs use: typed errors, a requestId on every response, and credits charged only on completed lookups. New accounts get 100 free credits.
Any Python-specific tips for this request?
Yes. Call response.raise_for_status() before response.json(), set a timeout on requests.get, and keep response.json()["meta"]["requestId"] when a row looks wrong.
