4 kinds of TikTok Live request
TikTok LIVE is TikTok's live-streaming section. Every live room shows a title, the host, how many people watch, and a ranking of the viewers who send gifts. This Actor is not affiliated with TikTok; it reads what anyone sees on a live room or in the live rankings and returns it as flat records.
- Live search
- Live status
- Daily creator ranking
- Top gifters of a live room

Call the TikTok Live API
Every run is one HTTP call: send the input as JSON, get the rows back. The same works from Make, Zapier or n8n.
Pay per result
You pay per event: a start fee of $0.005 per run, plus per record returned:
| Record | Price |
|---|---|
Live room (liveSearch) or status record (liveStatus) |
$0.004 |
Ranking row (liveRanking) |
$0.002 |
Gifter row (liveGifters) |
$0.001 |
- Keyword search pays the start fee again for every further keyword. In
liveGiftersevery further room or user pays it again too, because each one needs its own lookups.liveStatusandliveRankingpay one start fee per run. - Example: 40 live rooms for one keyword cost $0.005 + 40 x $0.004 = $0.165.
- Example: the status of 50 creators costs $0.005 + 50 x $0.004 = $0.205.
- Example: the full daily ranking (99 rows) costs $0.005 + 99 x $0.002 = $0.203.
- Example: a full gifter ranking of 30 people costs $0.005 + 30 x $0.001 = $0.035; rooms often return fewer.
- A spending limit set on the run is respected: the run stops cleanly when the next record or start fee does not fit.
