TikTok trending videos API

What to build with it

Read the platform's recent digest rather than mixing feeds across networks.
Record the collection date and the video's publication time separately.
Use a follow-up video lookup or tracker to see how a candidate changes after discovery.

Provider reference: Virlo documentation. Authentication uses a provider-issued Bearer token, stored on your server.

Documented HTTP responses: 200, 400, 401, 429. Handle each non-success response explicitly; do not silently convert a failed lookup to an empty result.

Before you integrate

A search result is a point-in-time sample, not a complete TikTok export. Keep video IDs as strings; large numeric IDs lose precision in JavaScript.
Trending in a discovery feed does not mean a video holds the same position in every user's personalized feed.

Check the provider's current price, allowed use and retention terms before sending requests. An optional field can be absent; the schema alone does not establish its completeness or accuracy.

For a deeper profile, compare the creator lookup with the ongoing tracking workflow.

Give this task to your coding agent

tiktok-trending-videos-api agent prompt

Help me implement tiktok trending videos api using the documented Virlo API.

Reference: https://allthemapis.com/social-media-apis/tiktok-trending-videos-api
Provider documentation: https://dev.virlo.ai/docs/tiktok-videos
Base URL: https://api.virlo.ai
Starting operation: GET /v1/tiktok/videos/digest

Read the current provider docs and confirm the required inputs before writing code. Load VIRLO_API_KEY from a server-side environment variable and use Bearer authentication. Do not put the key in client code, logs, analytics, or the chat.

Ask me for any missing video URL, creator handle, research intent, or job ID. Do not invent a result. Ask for approval before starting billable lookups, recurring jobs, or destructive changes. For jobs, keep the returned ID and poll with the documented delay instead of starting the job twice. Handle pagination, rate limits, partial results, and missing fields explicitly.

Build the smallest integration for this task:
1. Read the platform's recent digest rather than mixing feeds across networks.
2. Record the collection date and the video's publication time separately.
3. Use a follow-up video lookup or tracker to see how a candidate changes after discovery.

Return the code, the environment variables I need, and a short explanation of what was actually retrieved versus inferred. Do not execute paid requests until I approve.
