Use cases

• Search or catalog result enrichment: Use a known PDP URL to add seller, price, rating, media, category, and SKU fields to a selected search or shop-catalog product.
• Product signal snapshot comparison: Compare collected sale price, original price, discount, rating, review count, and sold count across point-in-time product records.
• Category and variant review: Inspect exposed category, image, and SKU structures to review how a public product is organized and presented.
• Prepare review collection: Validate a selected public product URL and product identity before starting a focused Product Reviews workflow.

API behavior

• Submit one public TikTok Shop PDP URL using /shop/pdp/{numeric_id} or /shop/pdp/{slug}/{numeric_id}.
• One task accepts one URL, does not accept results_limit, and can produce at most one normalized product record.
• The selected region controls market availability; a valid but unavailable product can complete without a result record.
• Seller, price, discount, rating, sales, media, category, and SKU fields are optional public snapshot values.

All requests use the shared asynchronous flow:

submit -> task_id -> poll task -> read every cursor page -> save results

Quick start

cp .env.example .env
export SOCQ_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Run the complete Node.js workflow:

cd node
npm start

Run the complete Python workflow:

python3 -m pip install -r python/requirements.txt
python3 python/main.py

Both examples load payload.example.json, retry transient API responses, wait for task completion, read every cursor page, and save an enriched public product record with seller, price, media, category, SKU, and visible commerce signals to output/results.json.

Never expose SOCQ_API_KEY in browser code, mobile apps, public repositories, screenshots, fixtures, or logs.

Request

POST https://api.socq.ai/v1/tiktok-shop/product
Authorization: Bearer <SOCQ_API_KEY>
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/shop/pdp/example-product/1700000000000000000",
  "region": "US"
}

The submit response contains data.task_id. Poll the task endpoint until data.status becomes succeeded or failed, then continue with data.results.next_cursor while data.results.has_more is true.

Complete workflow example

The Node.js and Python programs implement the production-shaped happy path:

1. Load and validate configuration.
2. Submit the endpoint-specific payload.
3. Retry rate-pressure and transient server responses with bounded backoff.
4. Poll the asynchronous task with a ten-minute application timeout.
5. Stop cleanly on a failed task and surface the public error message.
6. Read all cursor pages instead of silently returning only the first page.
7. Write a stable JSON artifact containing task metadata and normalized records.

Use the synthetic files in fixtures/ for tests and documentation. They do not contain customer, account, or production data.

Production notes

See docs/production-notes.md for validation, retry, timeout, pagination, deduplication, logging, and endpoint-specific guidance.

Responsible use and platform scope

• Use only publicly accessible TikTok Shop products, stores, reviews, showcases, and fields supported by the selected endpoint.
• Do not use the examples to access restricted content, login-only surfaces, authentication controls, private orders, or non-public customer information.
• SocQ is not an official API of the represented social platform and is not affiliated with or endorsed by that platform.
• Before production use, assess the laws, platform terms, privacy obligations, and retention requirements that apply to your organization and use case.
• Collect only the fields needed for a defined purpose, restrict access, set retention periods, and support correction or deletion workflows where required.
• Platform names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
