# TikTok ad API

> Get a TikTok ad's details and reach. Call the TikTok ad API and get JSON back in one request. 1 credit per call. Failed calls cost nothing.

Returns a TikTok ad's details and reach. The ad is identified by its URL or ID.

## Request

Exactly one of `adUrl` or `adId` is required. A request that sets both, or none, fails with `invalidRequest`.

    Every endpoint is a POST that takes its input as a JSON object body. Unknown
    fields are rejected with 400.


    Responses leave out empty values: null, empty strings, empty objects and
    empty nested lists are not sent.


    x-credits is what one call costs. Every call costs the same, whatever it
    returns, unless an operation's description says it costs per 10 results, or
    per second of audio. Then x-credits is the lowest price and x-credits-max
    the most one call can cost. Where an operation takes limit, send it to
    return fewer results and pay for fewer.


    When a response has a cursor, send it back unchanged with the same input to
    get the next page. When it has a page, send the next page number.
