Understanding TikTok Through Music: Using the TikTok API to Retrieve Videos Associated with a Specific Track
On TikTok, music isn't just background noise—it's a cultural driver. Whether it's catchy hooks, danceable beats, or dramatic voiceovers, sound plays a central role in what goes viral. In this article, we’ll dive into how you can leverage the get music post video list endpoint from LuckData’s TikTok API to fetch videos associated with a specific music track. We’ll also explore how this can be a powerful tool for content analysis, marketing, and data-driven insights.
1. The Power of Music on TikTok
Music on TikTok is more than just entertainment—it’s the backbone of viral trends. A single track can connect hundreds or even thousands of videos. For creators, brands, and marketers, identifying which videos use specific music can help with campaign planning, audience targeting, and content creation.
2. What is the get music post video list API?
LuckData’s get music post video list endpoint allows users to input a music_id and return a list of TikTok videos that feature that specific music.
Basic Info:
Endpoint URL:
https://luckdata.io/api/tiktok-api/DruH7x0W6z7rRequired Parameters:
music_id: The ID of the target music trackcount: Number of videos to fetch per requestcursor: For pagination
3. Implementation: How to Use the API
Here’s how you can use Python and the requests library to fetch data:
import requestsheaders = {
'X-Luckdata-Api-Key': 'your_luckdata_key'
}
params = {
'count': 20,
'cursor': 0,
'music_id': '7002634556977908485' # Example Music ID
}
response = requests.get(
'https://luckdata.io/api/tiktok-api/DruH7x0W6z7r',
headers=headers,
params=params
)
data = response.json()
print(data)
The returned JSON typically includes:
video_id,author,desc(description)Engagement data: likes, comments, shares
Creation timestamp and music metadata
4. Applications and Strategic Insights
A. Trend Monitoring
Quickly scan the top 100–500 videos using a track. You can analyze the type of content being produced—comedy, dance, storytelling, or tutorials—and how it's resonating.
B. Creator Behavior Profiling
Identify which users repeatedly use specific music genres. This helps build "music preference maps" and can aid in recommending tracks for influencers or brands.
C. Marketing Campaign Inspiration
Before launching a TikTok campaign, look up what kind of content already exists using similar music. Use this as creative inspiration or to identify gaps in content strategy.
5. Advanced Use: Cross-Referencing APIs
Combine this endpoint with others to get deeper, richer insights:

get userinfo: Analyze the profiles of video creators.With
get comment list by video: Study how audiences are reacting to the content using this music. （ Deep Dive into TikTok Comment Data: Leveraging API for Audience Insights and Engagement Strategy Optimization ）
This creates a "networked data model" that not only tells you who is using a track, but also why and with what impact.
6. Visualization: See the Trends in Action
Using Python’s Pandas and Matplotlib, you can visualize the posting trends for a particular music ID:
import pandas as pdimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt
videos = data['data']
df = pd.DataFrame(videos)
# Convert timestamp and visualize posting activity
df['create_time'] = pd.to_datetime(df['create_time'], unit='s')
df.groupby(df['create_time'].dt.date).size().plot(kind='line')
plt.title('Video Posting Trend for Music ID 7002634556977908485')
plt.xlabel('Date')
plt.ylabel('Video Count')
plt.grid(True)
plt.show()
This type of graph can help spot sudden spikes in usage, which may point to a trending moment or viral challenge.
7. Conclusion: Decode TikTok’s Rhythm with Music Data
Music is the heartbeat of TikTok, and the get music post video list API gives you direct access to this pulse. Whether you’re crafting a campaign, researching trends, or analyzing engagement, this tool helps you uncover the hidden patterns in content that drives millions of views.
