tiktok-transcripts

tiktok-transcripts is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mrocker/social-data-mcp. It costs 64 tokens per session (543 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A transcript retrieval tool for TikTok videos. A transcript is the written version of spoken words or captions; the tool returns plain text and timed sections from a video's captions without requiring login or cookies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to summarize TikTok videos, search their spoken content, analyse captions, or collect transcripts from a list of public video links.
Why use it?
It removes the need to watch videos manually when you need to analyse what they say. It can process video links, share links, or IDs, but videos without captions do not provide a transcript.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tiktok-transcripts scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 22d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

What it actually says

TikTok transcripts

Pay-per-result Apify Actor nick.cheng/tiktok-transcript-scraper. No login, no cookies. $0.003 per transcript delivered, same on every Apify plan; videos without captions cost nothing. Needs APIFY_TOKEN (free account: https://console.apify.com/account/integrations).

When to use

  • "What is said in these TikToks" → videoUrls (full links, vm.tiktok.com share links, or bare IDs)
  • A long list in a sheet → listUrl (public CSV/TXT or a Google Sheet shared as "Anyone with the link")

Call it

curl -s -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/nick.cheng~tiktok-transcript-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"videoUrls":["https://www.tiktok.com/@nasa/video/7667244788046892319"]}'

Or as an MCP tool: https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=nick.cheng/tiktok-transcript-scraper.

Output rows

  • itemType: "transcript" — videoId, url, authorHandle, authorNickname, description, createdAt, durationSeconds, transcriptLanguage, transcriptType (auto-generated / machine-translated), transcript (one string), subtitles[].segments ({start, end, text} in seconds), inputOrder
  • error: true, chargedForThis: false — no captions, photo post, or deleted/private video; reason given

Limits

TikTok's own captions only — no speech recognition of its own; music-only clips and videos without speech usually have none (no charge). TikTok's language detection is occasionally wrong — check transcriptLanguage. No video lists per account: you supply the links. For play/like counts use nick.cheng/tiktok-profile-stats-scraper (skill tiktok-profile-stats), which can include the transcript too.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
