Unlocking TikTok User Intent with Collection Video Data: A Deep Dive into the get collection post video list API by LuckData

On TikTok, collections allow users to organize their favorite videos by theme or purpose—whether it's saving for later, grouping by topic, or curating inspiration. From a data analysis standpoint, these collections are goldmines. They reflect not only individual preferences but also broader trends, content virality, and engagement insights. In this article, we'll explore how to use the get collection post video list API provided by LuckData to fetch videos from a specified collection and discuss its broader applications in marketing, recommendation systems, and data analytics.

1. Why Collect Data from TikTok Collections?

The "collection" feature serves as a personalized folder where users save videos they resonate with. For developers, marketers, and analysts, the insights derived from these collections are invaluable:

  • User Preference Analysis: Collections give a window into users’ tastes and interests.

  • Personalized Recommendations: Suggest similar content based on what's stored in users' collections.

  • Trend Aggregation: Popular content across many collections can signal rising trends.

  • Competitor Benchmarking: Track what content from rival brands is frequently saved.

To fully harness this potential, you need a robust TikTok API that can retrieve collection data—this is where LuckData shines.

2. Overview of the get collection post video list API

cursor = 0

all_videos = []

while True:

url = f"https://luckdata.io/api/tiktok-api/InbRzKcXn2kh?count={page_size}&cursor={cursor}&collection_id={collection_id}"

headers = {'X-Luckdata-Api-Key': api_key}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

result = response.json()

videos = result.get('data', [])

if not videos:

break

all_videos.extend(videos)

cursor += page_size

return all_videos

4. Understanding the Response Data
