Tikhub Api Helper

TikHub API Helper

A skill to help users search, find, and call TikHub API endpoints for social media data.

Quick Start

When a user asks about TikHub API or wants to fetch social media data:

1. Search for relevant APIs using the searcher script
2. Show the user available options with parameters
3. Call the API with appropriate parameters
4. Return formatted results to the user

Available Scripts

API Searcher - api_searcher.py

Search and find relevant TikHub API endpoints.

bashCopy code
# Search by keyword
python api_searcher.py "user profile"
python api_searcher.py "视频评论"
python api_searcher.py "trending"

# List all APIs for a specific tag/category
python api_searcher.py tag:TikTok-Web-API
python api_searcher.py tag:Douyin-App-V3-API

# List popular/common APIs
python api_searcher.py popular

# List all available tags/categories
python api_searcher.py tags

# Get detailed info for a specific API
python api_searcher.py detail:tiktok_web_fetch_user_profile_get

API Client - api_client.py

Make HTTP requests to TikHub API endpoints.

bashCopy code
# Health check (no authentication required)
python api_client.py GET /api/v1/health/check

# Get user profile
python api_client.py GET /api/v1/tiktok/web/fetch_user_profile "sec_user_id=MS4wLjABAAAA..."

# Search for videos
python api_client.py GET /api/v1/tiktok/web/fetch_search_video "keyword=gaming"

# POST request with JSON body
python api_client.py POST /api/v1/tiktok/web/generate_xgnarly '{"url": "https://..."}'

Supported Platforms

Use python api_searcher.py tags to see all categories.

Common Use Cases

Get User Profile

bashCopy code
# TikTok user profile
python api_searcher.py "fetch user profile tiktok"
python api_client.py GET /api/v1/tiktok/web/fetch_user_profile "sec_user_id=USER_ID"

Get Video Details

bashCopy code
# TikTok video details
python api_searcher.py "fetch post detail"
python api_client.py GET /api/v1/tiktok/web/fetch_post_detail "post_id=POST_ID"

Search Content

bashCopy code
# Search for videos/users
python api_searcher.py "search video"
python api_client.py GET /api/v1/tiktok/web/fetch_search_video "keyword=YOUR_KEYWORD"

Get Comments

bashCopy code
# Get video comments
python api_searcher.py "fetch comment"
python api_client.py GET /api/v1/tiktok/web/fetch_post_comment "post_id=POST_ID"

Authentication

API requests use a default token for development. For production use, users should:

1. Get their API token from TikHub User
2. Set the TIKHUB_TOKEN environment variable
3. Or modify DEFAULT_TOKEN in api_client.py

Request format:

jsonCopy code
{
  "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
}

Base URLs

• China users: https://api.tikhub.dev (bypasses GFW)
• International: https://api.tikhub.io

The API client auto-detects the appropriate URL. To override, modify the use_china_domain parameter in the client.

Rate Limits

• QPS: 10 requests per second per endpoint
• Timeout: 30-60 seconds
• Retry: Max 3 retries on error

Instructions for Claude

When helping users with TikHub API:

1. Understand the user's goal - What data do they want? From which platform?
2. Search for relevant APIs - Use api_searcher.py with appropriate keywords
3. Present options - Show matching APIs with brief descriptions
4. Guide parameters - Check what parameters are required using detail:OPERATION_ID
5. Make the request - Use api_client.py with the user's parameters
6. Format results - Present the API response in a clear, readable format

Example Workflow

User: "I want to get a TikTok user's profile"

bashCopy code
# Step 1: Search for the relevant API
python api_searcher.py "tiktok user profile"

# Step 2: Show results and confirm endpoint
# Found: GET /api/v1/tiktok/web/fetch_user_profile

# Step 3: Get detailed parameter info
python api_searcher.py detail:tiktok_web_fetch_user_profile_get

# Step 4: Make the API call with user's parameters
python api_client.py GET /api/v1/tiktok/web/fetch_user_profile "sec_user_id=MS4wLjABAAAA..."

# Step 5: Format and present results
