Kalodata - TikTok Video Search & Detail

This skill supports a two-step TikTok video workflow via the Kalodata data source:

1. Browse TikTok Shop video leaderboards to discover high-performing shoppable videos.
2. Fetch one video's full performance detail by videoId.

Use the search endpoint when the user wants rankings, hot videos, viral videos, or video discovery. Use the detail endpoint when the user already has a videoId or has selected one video from a ranking result.

Core Concepts

The video ranking endpoint returns a paginated leaderboard filtered by region, dateRange, language, currency, and optional sortField. Each video row includes identity, engagement, revenue, ad-performance, and creator fields. Results are paginated with pageNumber (1-5) and pageSize (5-100).

The video detail endpoint fetches one shoppable TikTok video by videoId. It returns the video's engagement metrics, monetization metrics, advertising metrics, creator identity, region, duration, and linked product count. The videoId usually comes from the ranking response field video_id.

Both endpoints may reflect a statistical delay (T+1). See references/api.md for full request and response details.

Data Fields

Ranking rows include:

Detail rows additionally include:

Parameter Guide

Video ranking (/kalodata/video/rank)

Video detail (/kalodata/video/detail)

How to Call

• API Endpoints: POST /kalodata/video/rank or POST /kalodata/video/detail (see references/api.md for full parameters/response/error codes)
• Python Scripts: python scripts/videodetail.py '<JSON parameters>' [--inline] or python scripts/videodetail.py '<JSON parameters>' [--inline]
• Cost constraint: This tool consumes credits; the same parameter combination in the same session is called only once by default, with 24h local caching in the script. On failure/empty results, do not automatically retry with different keywords, pagination, or filter changes; inform the user before making additional queries.

Output strategy (default script behavior):

• Always write the full response to <cwd>/nexscope/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<session>/data/nexscope-kalodata-tiktok-video-<timestamp>.json (<cwd> is the working directory at script execution time, i.e., the current project directory in Claude Code; <session> is taken from the SESSION_ID environment variable, auto-grouped by user task; do not write to /tmp, error if the current directory is not writable)
• Response body <= 8 KB: print the full JSON to stdout after writing to disk
• Response body > 8 KB: stdout only outputs a summary (top-level fields, common counts like total/costToken, length of the largest list field + first 3 samples)
• Add --inline to force full output to stdout (still writes to disk)

Data reading tip: Check the summary first to see if sufficient; for specific fields, prefer using jq or ConvertFrom-Json to extract from the saved JSON file on demand, avoiding loading the entire JSON into context.

Usage Examples

1. Browse top TikTok videos in the US

{"region":"US","dateRange":"last7Day","pageSize":10,"pageNumber":1,"currency":"USD"}

2. Fetch one video's detail

{"videoId":"7659161409279806734","region":"US","dateRange":"last7Day","currency":"USD"}

3. Discovery-to-detail workflow

Run video_detail.py first, choose a row's video_id, then pass that value as videoId to video_detail.py.

Display Rules

1. Present ranking results in a table with title, video ID, views, engagement, revenue, ad indicators, and creator handle.
2. Present detail results as one grouped profile: identity, engagement, monetization, ads, creator, duration, and linked products.
3. Always label dateRange, region, and currency when showing metrics.
4. Use the exact field name sales_volumn.
5. video_gpm is GMV per mille; do not display it as a percentage.
6. Preserve ranking order unless the user explicitly requests a supported sortField.

Important Limitations

• Ranking is not keyword search; it browses leaderboards by region and time window.
• Detail requires videoId; it cannot find a video by title alone.
• The ranking response does not include total/page count; result count is data.length.
• pageNumber is limited to 1-5 and pageSize is limited to 5-100.
• Transient upstream errors may appear as errcode 501 with a Kalodata HTTP 554 message. Retry the same parameters once or twice; do not change parameters automatically.
• Use the matching Kalodata product/creator/shop/livestream skills for non-video entities.
