Using the API
Pagination
Walking lists with next_cursor.
Paged routes return an array in data and, when there is more, an opaque meta.next_cursor. Pass it back as cursor to get the next page. When next_cursor is absent, you have everything.
javascript
async function* allPosts(handle) {
let cursor;
do {
const params = new URLSearchParams({ handle, ...(cursor && { cursor }) });
const res = await fetch(`https://api.crawlfeed.dev/v1/tiktok/posts?${params}`, {
headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.CRAWLFEED_KEY}` },
});
const { data, meta } = await res.json();
yield* data;
cursor = meta.next_cursor;
} while (cursor);
}- Each page is a separate call and costs the same as the first.
- Cursors belong to the platform and operation that issued them. A TikTok
postscursor means nothing to Instagram. - Treat cursors as opaque strings. Their contents change without notice.
- Page sizes follow the platform, so do not assume a fixed number of items per page.
