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, in the API Commons Rate Limits shape.

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_minute.

Sliding Window
Rate-limit calculation uses a one-minute sliding window per documented endpoint.
Quota Increase
Applications needing higher limits submit a request via the TikTok developer Support Page; TikTok reviews and may approve a raised cap.
Throttling Response
When the limit is exceeded the API returns HTTP 429 with error code rate_limit_exceeded; clients should back off before retrying.
