Terms of service
Effective September 7, 2026. These terms apply to TikTok Transcript API, operated by Woodbark Software. By using the website, API, or MCP service, you agree to these terms.
Using the service
Submit only videos you own or have permission to process. The service accepts individual public TikTok video links and cannot guarantee access to restricted, removed, or private media. You are responsible for your use of the content and for complying with applicable laws and source-platform terms. TikTok Transcript API is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by TikTok.
Accounts and keys
Keep your sign-in codes and API keys private. You are responsible for requests made with your account credentials. Revoke a compromised key promptly. Do not create accounts to evade limits, abuse free credits, interfere with other customers, or attempt unauthorized access.
Credits and limits
A verified new account receives 100 trial credits. One credit covers one successful transcription request for up to the first 20 minutes of a video. We reserve a credit when processing starts and release it if processing fails. Separate requests for the same video may use separate credits; use idempotency keys when retrying a submission. Status reads do not consume transcript credits. Request and concurrency limits are documented in the API reference.
Subscriptions and top-ups
The monthly plan costs $5 per month. The annual plan costs $54 per year. Each includes 1,000 credits per month while the subscription is active. Monthly allowances reset and unused monthly credits do not roll over. Annual billing provides monthly allowances, not the full year’s credits immediately. Active monthly subscribers can buy 1,000 top-up credits for $2.50; active annual subscribers pay $1.50. Purchased top-up credits remain available after a subscription ends. Prices are in US dollars; any applicable taxes are shown at checkout.
Renewal, cancellation, and payments
Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled through Billing in your dashboard. Cancellation stops renewal at the end of the current paid billing period. Stripe processes payments and provides invoices and payment-method management. Contact woodbarksoftware@gmail.com about an incorrect charge or a refund request. Refunds are reviewed individually, and any mandatory consumer rights continue to apply.
Results and availability
Transcripts are machine-generated and can contain errors, especially with background noise, multiple speakers, names, or music. Verify important wording and timestamps against the original video. Processing times and source availability vary. We may change or suspend functionality to maintain the service, address abuse, or respond to changes in source access.
Your content
You retain your rights in the content you submit. You give us permission to process and store it as needed to provide the requested service. Our privacy policy explains the information we handle. Third-party content remains subject to its owners’ rights.
