Start with one request
Create an account, complete your first top-up and create an API key in Dash. Set CHINAAPI_API_KEY in your environment. This example calls TikTok search posts at $0.002 per successful call.
curl --fail-with-body --get "https://api.chinaapi.ai/v1/social/tiktok/search" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $CHINAAPI_API_KEY" \
--data-urlencode 'keyword=TikTok'Read the beta terms before calling
Beta: paid accounts only. Complete your first top-up before calling this API. Trial credits cannot be used for social-data requests. This beta has no SLA and platform coverage may change.
You must comply with each platform's terms and applicable data rules. Do not use this API to build personal profiles. Login, contact extraction, engagement manipulation, and private or paid-content access are outside this beta.
Calls use your existing ChinaAPI key and balance. Only a successful HTTP 200 response with data is charged. Empty or failed results are not charged. A daily beta budget may return HTTP 429; retry after the UTC day resets. Repeating a successful request creates another billable call.
Build against the current contract
Platforms keep their own parameter names and response shapes. This beta does not normalize fields across platforms. The reference lists each published pair, its required alternatives and optional parameters.
