What you get#
Onekey exposes Douyin as 8 endpoints behind one API key: 2 endpoints return one record (data is an object) and 6 endpoints return a list (data is an array). Every answer uses the same envelope (success, data, metadata, error), the cost is reported in metadata.credits_charged, and fields are mapped onto the unified schema so the code you write for Douyin also works for the rest of the social networks category.

Make a request#
This calls douyin.post (2 credits, beta). Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your key; sign up, no card. 1,000 free credits cover the open-platform endpoints. Hard-to-reach platforms (X, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, and others marked on their page) need a verified email and a purchased pack.
curl "https://api.onekey.dev/v1/douyin/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.douyin.com%2Fvideo%2F7123456789012345678" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"Fields you get back#
These unified fields come back from Douyin, with the same names as on every other platform. The count is how many of its 8 mapped endpoints return the field; a field the source lacks is null, never missing. 4 platform-specific fields (ext.<name>) come on top, documented on each endpoint page.
