5.6B TikTok records expose reach, engagement, and moderation signals
Researchers can study TikTok at unusual scale from metadata covering views, likes, comments, shares, captions, hashtags, ads, AI-generation labels, and recommendation flags, without needing the video files themselves. Each record combines publishing details and engagement counts with fields such as language, duration, sound ID, and whether a video was not recommended for the For You feed. The dataset README says its collection code used TikTok’s mobile API across 24 endpoints.
