What does ScrapeCreators offer?
Its endpoint is GET https://api.scrapecreators.com/v1/tiktok/video/transcript, authenticated with x-api-key. Parameters are url, language, use_ai_as_fallback and allow_long_transcription. The response carries transcript as a WebVTT string and transcript_with_timestamp as segments with start and end in seconds. Source: ScrapeCreators TikTok transcript docs, read 2026-11-10.
How are credits charged?
Native captions, or AI for videos up to two minutes, cost 1 credit. AI with long transcription enabled costs 10 credits per started minute, even for short videos. No transcript costs 0 credits. Its docs warn that long AI transcripts may time out and that AI timestamps are approximate. Plan prices could not be read (its pricing page did not load), so none are compared.
