getTiktokPostsByUser
Get posts from Tiktok user by ID or username with three response modes. Use identifierType="id" for numeric user ID, identifierType="username" for username. FAST (default, omit responseType or responseType="fast"): Returns up to 300 results directly (use limit param to reduce, e.g. limit=5). Auto API fallback for fresh data. Results include guidance for full mode. PAGING (responseType="paging"): Async paginated results (100/page), returns operationId for polling via checkOperationStatus. Supports pageNumber/tableName for subsequent pages. CSV (responseType="csv"): Async single CSV download, returns operationId, poll for S3 link. CODE EXECUTION: For csv mode, download CSV and use code execution to analyze full dataset. Ideal for: engagement analysis, content trends, viral video detection, processing thousands of posts. Returns by default: id, description, username, createdAtDate. First searches database, then external API if data is stale or missing. Date filters: OMIT startDate/endDate parameters by default to retrieve all posts. ONLY pass these if user explicitly requests specific date range (YYYY-MM-DD format). IMPORTANT!!!!!: THE CURRENT YEAR IS 2026. When user requests relative dates (last week, last month), verify the current date from your system context and double-check the calculated dates - models often get the year wrong, searching one year earlier than intended. FIELDS parameter (optional): Specify to get additional/different fields. Available: Core (id, description, userId, username, nickname, createdAtDate), Engagement (likeCount, commentCount, playCount, forwardCount, collectCount, downloadCount), Media (videoThumbnail, videoUrl, duration, postType), Content (hashtags, transcriptsJson). This is a safe, read-only tool for analyzing searchable information.
