POST /user-videos Accounts

https://api.fetchlayer.dev/douyin/user-videos

OpenAPI JSON

Headers

Authorization string required

Bearer token — your FetchLayer API key.

Parameters

user string required

An account: its sec_uid (starts with MS4wLjAB), a douyin.com/user/... link, or a v.douyin.com share link to the profile.

limit integer optional

Maximum videos, up to 50, or -1. Left out, every video shown (about 41).

format string optional

json or markdown, lowercase; any other value is a 400. Over MCP, markdown returns the result rendered as text; the REST API accepts it and returns JSON. (default: json)

timeoutMs integer optional

Time limit for the whole request, in milliseconds (1000–120000); a value outside that range is a 400. Where possible a partial answer comes back with a note; a request with nothing to return yet fails with a 503 you can retry, marked with the response header X-Timeout-Source: caller.
