Usually you can get about 30 items from a API request (excluding the search endpoint which returns 12). This is not a limit set by us, but by TikTok.

 

In order to collect more items you have to use the iterating parameters, such as cursor or offset. Iteration parameters are a common practice when working with data that has millions of items. 

 

The next iterating parameter is returned in every response and should be included in the following request to get the new items (A loop). It works like a pagination.

 

We have implemented a easy looping method to do this on the Javascript/Python libraries, check out the code examples in our documentation.
