TikTok Music Info API for trending sound research

The YepAPI TikTok Music Info API resolves a sound URL into its full details. Paste a music link and get the track's title, original author, usage play count, and — critically — its numeric music ID, the key that unlocks every video using that sound.

It is the lookup endpoint for audio research. Use the music ID it returns with the TikTok Music Videos API to see how a sound spreads, or pair it with the TikTok Search API to discover sounds by keyword first.

What is a TikTok Music Info API?

A TikTok Music Info API takes the URL of a sound or song and returns its structured metadata rather than the audio page. With YepAPI you POST a music url to /v1/tiktok/music and receive a music object containing the track's id, title, authorName, and a playCount measuring how widely it is used. Because TikTok has no open endpoint for sound data, this provides reliable access to any public track's details — and the numeric music ID it returns is the prerequisite for finding every video built on that sound.

Build your own trending-audio research tool

Use this endpoint to build an audio-research tool for creators and marketers chasing the next viral sound. Resolve a sound URL to capture its playCount and author, snapshot that count over time to detect rising tracks, and feed the music ID into the Music Videos API to study how creators are using it. Spotting a sound early can make or break a post's reach. One YepAPI key spans TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram, so your trend tooling can cover audio across platforms.

TikTok Music Info API pricing — $0.01 per call

Each sound lookup costs $0.01 and returns the track's full metadata plus its numeric ID. There is no subscription. Monitoring 100 trending sounds daily to watch their usage climb costs about $1 per day, and resolving a one-off batch of 500 sound URLs runs around $5 — predictable, usage-based pricing.

The music ID that unlocks sound virality

The TikTok Music Videos API needs a numeric music_id, not a URL — and this endpoint is where you get it. One lookup converts a sound link into the ID required to pull every video using that track. Treat Music Info as the entry point to audio analysis: resolve the sound, capture its usage stats, then trace its spread. Without this ID, sound-level virality tracking is impossible, which makes this the first call in any audio-trend pipeline.
