How do I find the URL of a TikTok video?

A TikTok URL is the web address that links directly to a specific video on the TikTok platform. When users find a video they enjoy, they may want to copy the URL so they can easily share it with friends or save it for later. The URL allows you to link directly to the video so anyone can watch it, without needing to search for it or know the account name that posted it.

There are a few main reasons users may want to find and copy a TikTok video URL:

• To share the video on other platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or messaging apps
• To save or bookmark the video to easily find and watch it again later
• To embed the video in a blog, website, or email
• To give proper credit to the video creator by linking to their content
• To analyze video performance and engagement using the direct URL

Knowing how to easily locate a TikTok video’s unique URL allows users to get the most out of the content they find and share it with others. This gives creators wider exposure and makes it convenient for viewers to rewatch videos they’ve enjoyed.

Viewing the Profile of the Video’s Creator

One of the easiest ways to find the URL of a TikTok video is to view the profile of the video’s creator. To do this, simply open the TikTok app and play the video you want to get the URL for. In the upper left corner of the video, you’ll see the profile picture of the video’s creator. Tap on this profile picture to open up the creator’s TikTok profile.

On the creator’s profile, you’ll be able to view other videos they have posted. More importantly, you’ll have access to options like following them or sharing their profile. By opening the creator’s profile, you can progress to the next steps of copying the URL or using TikTok’s built-in sharing options.

According to this guide, opening someone’s profile will not notify them or show up in their viewer history as long as you don’t like, comment, or otherwise interact with their videos. So this is a simple way to get the video URL you need without alerting the creator.

Copying the URL from the Profile

One way to find the URL for a TikTok video is to go to the profile of the user who posted it. Here are the steps:

1. Open the TikTok app on your device.
2. Go to the profile page of the user who posted the video you want to get the URL for. You can search for their username in the search bar at the top.
3. Scroll through their videos and find the one you want the URL for. Tap on it to open the video.
4. Below the video on the creator’s profile you will see the video URL listed. Tap and hold on the URL to copy it.
5. You can now paste this URL anywhere to link directly to the video.

The benefit of getting the URL from the video creator’s profile is it ensures you get the exact URL for that specific video. The URL will be unique to that video and user account.

According to [1], this is one of the easiest ways to reliably find and share a TikTok video URL if you want to link or embed it elsewhere.

Sharing the Video

One of the easiest ways to find the URL of a TikTok video is to use the Share button within the app. When viewing a video in the TikTok app, tap the Share button in the bottom right corner. This will open up sharing options, including Copy Link which will copy the video’s URL to your clipboard (https://support.tiktok.com/en/using-tiktok/exploring-videos/sharing).

You can then paste this URL anywhere you want to share the video. The URL will lead directly to that video on TikTok. This is a straightforward way to get the link without needing any third-party apps or extensions.

Using TikTok’s Copy Link Feature

TikTok has a built-in “Copy Link” feature that allows you to easily copy the URL of any video. Here’s how to use it:

While watching the TikTok video you want to get the URL for, tap the “Share” button at the bottom right. This will bring up the sharing options. At the very top is an option to “Copy Link”. Tap on this to copy the video’s unique URL to your device’s clipboard. You can then paste this anywhere you need it.

The “Copy Link” feature is the easiest way to get a shareable URL for a TikTok video. It takes just a couple quick taps, and ensures you get the exact URL rather than trying to copy it manually. This method also allows you to get the URL without having to leave the TikTok app.

Using a TikTok Downloader Website

One way to get the URL of a TikTok video is by using a third-party TikTok downloader website. Sites like SaveTT and SnapTik allow you to enter the username or URL of a TikTok video and then extract the direct video URL.

To use a downloader site:

1. Go to the website and paste the TikTok video URL or username into the search bar.
2. The site will load the video and provide options to download it.
3. Click the “Copy Link” button which will copy the direct video URL to your clipboard.

The benefit of using these sites is that they strip out any extra parameters from the URL so you get a clean direct link to the .mp4 video file. This makes it easy to share or embed the video.

Just be aware that downloading videos from TikTok via third-party sites is technically against TikTok’s terms of service. However, simply copying the URL does not download or save the video, so it provides a handy way to get the direct video link.

Using the TikTok API

One way to get the URL for a TikTok video is by using TikTok’s API (application programming interface). TikTok provides a REST API that allows developers to interact with TikTok data and functionality programmatically.

To use the API, you’ll need to register as a TikTok developer and get an access token. Once you have credentials, you can make API calls to retrieve information about videos, users, hashtags, etc. The endpoint for retrieving a video object is:

https://api.tiktok.com/aweme/v1/multi/aweme/detail/?aweme_ids=[video_id]

Replace [video_id] with the actual ID of the video you want. The response will include the video URL in the “video” object.

So using TikTok’s API is an option if you need to programmatically get video URLs. Just be aware there are rate limits, so you can’t make unlimited calls. Overall, the API gives developers robust access to TikTok data.

Using a Browser Extension

One way to easily find the URL of a TikTok video is by using a browser extension. Extensions like TikTok Pixel Helper can display the URL when you’re viewing a video in the TikTok app or website.

To use this method:

1. Install the TikTok Pixel Helper extension in your Chrome browser.
2. Open the TikTok app and start playing the video you want to get the URL for.
3. The extension will detect that you are viewing a TikTok video and display the URL.
4. You can then copy the URL from the extension popup.

This provides a quick and easy way to find the link for any TikTok video without having to use any special sharing options. The extension does all the work of finding the URL for you.

Using Inspect Element

Another way to find the URL of a TikTok video is by using your browser’s inspect element tool. Here are the steps:

1. Open the TikTok video in your web browser.
2. Right click anywhere on the page and click “Inspect” or “Inspect Element” to open the developer tools.
3. In the HTML code, search for “videoUrl”. The full URL of the video will be next to this term.
4. Copy the video URL from here.

The video URL can be found in the page source code of the TikTok video page. Using inspect element allows you to view this source code and search for the URL directly.

Conclusion

In summary, there are a few different methods that can be used to find the URL for a TikTok video:

You can view the profile of the video’s creator and copy the URL from there. TikTok’s sharing features allow you to copy a direct link to any video as well. You can also use a TikTok downloader website or browser extension to get the video URL.

More advanced options include using the TikTok API to retrieve video metadata or inspecting the page elements to find the video URL. Overall, the easiest and most straightforward approaches are viewing the creator’s profile or using TikTok’s built-in sharing tools.

Knowing how to get a direct URL link for any TikTok video can be useful for sharing content outside of the app or embedding videos on other platforms. With multiple options available, you can choose the method that works best for your needs.
