How it works
From URL to result
-
Paste a public TikTok video URL
The lookup accepts a public URL and resolves the platform id for you.
-
Read the public counts
Views, likes, comments and platform-specific fields are returned when the platform publishes them.
-
Check freshness
Every successful lookup includes the time Sourcevine read the public page.

Why Sourcevine
What to know about this lookup
Collects, not saves
TikTok calls a save a collect, and publishes it alongside views, likes, comments and shares. Photo posts return the same shape as videos.
Clear unavailable states
Private, deleted and unsupported URLs return a status instead of a stale-looking success.
Use cases
Where this lookup fits
-
Agencies reconciling delivery
Confirm a paid video is live and capture its public counts with a read timestamp.
-
Creator ops
Compare public engagement across shortlists without opening every platform tab by hand.
-
Analysts
Validate whether a public link still exists before adding it to a report or dataset.
Boundaries
What this tool will not return
- Public data only
Private accounts and restricted content are not accessed. Deleted resources return an availability status.
- No contact fields
Bios, emails, phone numbers, addresses and messenger handles are outside this product boundary.
- No watch time or retention
Average watch time and retention live in the creator's own analytics, behind their login. Nothing public exposes them.
Questions
Before you run it
Can I tell if a video was deleted?
Yes. If it has been taken down or made private the tool says so, rather than showing a stale number.
Does it work on photo posts?
Yes, TikTok photo posts work the same way as videos.
What does this not show me?
Private or restricted content, bios and contact details are not returned. A platform may show a sign-in prompt for public content; the scope is public data, not whether the platform presents a login screen. If an account is private, the tool says so.
Do I need an account?
Yes, a free Sourcevine account; you never log in to the platform itself. Signing up gives you 100 credits once, no card, and they do not renew. A lookup spends one or two of them, and you can see every run in your dashboard. When they are gone, a prepaid pack tops the balance up and never expires.
API

Move from one-off checks to a repeatable API call with the same timestamps and availability metadata.
