## tiktok/search-music

`GET /v1/tiktok/search-music`

TikTok sounds matching a keyword: title, artist, duration, cover, a preview URL and how many videos use each.

*TikTok sound search*

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | yes | Search words — e.g. `espresso` |
| `limit` | no | Sounds per page, up to 20 — e.g. `20` |
| `cursor` | no | Page cursor from the previous answer |
| `region` | no | Two-letter region — e.g. `US` |
| `dry_run` | no | Read a zero-credit estimate without fetching sources, running AI, or reserving credits. Cache status is a snapshot, not a guarantee at execution. — e.g. `1` |

**Cost:** 1 credit at list price per successful uncached response; variable-cost operations may quote or settle a different charge. Confirmed uncharged or refunded failures report zero. Pending reconciliation can report credits_used:null; retain request_id and the original idempotency key.
