TikAPI V3 is here!

And here we go — introducing some of the new features & updates that have just rolled out

Payment processing

Finally, Stripe has been fully integrated as the main payment gateway, enabling a smoother and easier billing experience. 

Some other changes worth mentioning here:
  • Bandwidth
          Now you can customize the subscription bandwidth,  instead of purchasing extra bandwidth manually every time you run out.
  • Account Credits
          You can also use your account credits which can be topped-up with different payment methods  (e.g Bitcoin) to pay for your subscription.

Authenticated Users

The limits for OAuth Users have been removed.

You can now authenticate an unlimited amount of users, and you will only be charged for what you use. 

The profile information endpoint is also free of charge, meaning you can authenticate any amount of users and you won't get charged extra fees if you just call the Profile information endpoint.

The login process and session validation has also been improved.

Python  & JavaScript Libraries

Python library has been published and the JavaScript library has been updated, with full types & typing hints support, drastically improving the coding experience.

Also a convenient method has been implemented for iterating/getting next items list.

Sandbox

You can now test the API using the sandbox server, a subscription is not required.

Endpoints

A few new endpoints have been added:
  • Get Live Chat & Send Live Chat
            The most requested Live chat endpoints have now been added.  You can get real-time Live chat gifts for any Live video, and also send Live chat messages.
  • Send DM Messages
           Sending DM Messages to other accounts is now supported.

Note: These new endpoints are only available to Business and higher subscriptions, and sending messages is restricted (only available to trusted customers).

The session_id parameter has been added for Public endpoints. This feature makes possible persisting the session cookies & IP for a longer time between Public requests (useful to get new posts from the Public explore/For you feed)
 

Privacy Policy

Some minor changes to the privacy policy. Making it clear that we do not collect data.

What else?  There might be some other things that I can't remember right now
