Silkline DataTikTok Search sounds by keyword API
type is sound: musicId, title, author, durationSeconds, videoCount (videos made with the sound), isOriginal, coverUrl (temporary), playUrl (audio link when public, temporary), url and keyword (soundSearch) or sourceProfile (userSounds).
Sound fields (modes soundSearch, userSounds)
type is sound: musicId, title, author, durationSeconds, videoCount (videos made with the sound), isOriginal, coverUrl (temporary), playUrl (audio link when public, temporary), url and keyword (soundSearch) or sourceProfile (userSounds). The existing music mode takes sound IDs, and soundSearch is how you find them.
With includeSoundDetail each sound is followed by a record of type soundDetail: musicId, title, author, album, createdAt (when the sound was added), durationSeconds, videoCount, isOriginal, isCommercial, themeTags and url. It is delivered only when the details were found; a sound without details gets no second record and no extra charge. A sound that appears under two keywords gets its detail record once.
