Tiktok Rate Limits

TikTok publishes default rate limits for v2 server APIs at 600 requests per one-minute sliding window per key endpoint (user info, video query, video list). Throttled requests return HTTP 429 with error code rate_limit_exceeded. Higher limits are granted on review via the Support Page.

Tiktok Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for TikTok on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_minute.

The profile also includes 3 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.
