TikTok Challenge Info API for hashtag stats and reach

The YepAPI TikTok Challenge Info API resolves a hashtag into its full record. Look up a challenge by name like "fyp" or by numeric ID and get its title, description, and total view count — the canonical stats for any TikTok trend.

It is the detail endpoint for hashtag research: discover challenges with the TikTok Challenge Search API, confirm and size them here, then pass the challenge ID to the TikTok Challenge Videos API to study the entries themselves.

What is a TikTok Challenge Info API?

A TikTok Challenge Info API returns the metadata and stats for a specific hashtag challenge, identified by name or numeric ID. With YepAPI you POST a challenge_name (without the #) or a challenge_id to /v1/tiktok/challenge and receive a challenge object with an id, title, desc, and a stats block containing viewCount. Because TikTok offers no open hashtag endpoint, this gives you authoritative, structured data on any trend's reach and definition — the lookup you use to confirm a hashtag and measure its scale before acting on it.

Build your own hashtag research tool

Use this endpoint to build a hashtag-research tool. Accept a hashtag, return its total viewCount and description so a marketer can judge reach at a glance, and snapshot the count over time to track whether a trend is growing or cooling. Resolve by name when that is all you have, or by ID for precision. Feed the challenge ID into the Challenge Videos API to examine entries. The same YepAPI key reaches Instagram and YouTube data, so one tool can cover hashtags across platforms.

TikTok Challenge Info API pricing — $0.01 per call

Each challenge lookup costs $0.01 and returns the hashtag's full metadata and view count. There is no subscription or minimum. Tracking 100 campaign hashtags daily to measure reach costs about $1 per day, and a one-off audit of 500 hashtags runs around $5 — straightforward, usage-based pricing for any marketing budget.

Measure campaign reach with a single lookup

For hashtag marketing, the view count is the headline metric — and this endpoint delivers it in one call. By snapshotting a campaign hashtag's viewCount over time, you can quantify reach, prove ROI, and compare your hashtag against competitors' or industry benchmarks. The name-or-ID flexibility means you can wire it into a dashboard whether your input is a human-readable tag or a stored numeric ID, making campaign measurement effortless.
