# EchoTik TikTok Video Search

This skill searches and analyzes TikTok video data, helping cross-border sellers and marketers discover top-performing videos, benchmark content strategies, and evaluate video-level engagement and sales attribution across TikTok marketplaces.

## Core Concepts

EchoTik is a TikTok Shop analytics platform. This tool lists TikTok videos with rich filtering -- by region, creator, product, category, views, duration, publish time, and ad/AI/selling flags -- and returns engagement metrics (views, likes, comments, shares, favorites), estimated sales attribution (video sales count and GMV), and video metadata (duration, resolution, cover, publish date).

**Required input**: `region` is mandatory. Optional filters narrow by creator (`userId`), product (`productId`), category (`productCategoryId`), views range, duration range, publish-time range, and video type (ad / AI / selling).

**Sort fields**: videos can be sorted by likes (1), publish time (2), or views (3, default).

**Pagination**: `pageSize` must be a multiple of 10, max 100. The backend fetches in batches of 10 and merges results.

**Related skill**: This tool lists videos by region/filters (no product required). To get videos associated with one specific product, use the product video skill with a `productId` instead.

## How to Call

- **API Endpoint**: `POST /echotik/listVideo` (see `references/api.md` for full parameters/response/error codes)
- **Python Script**: `python scripts/tiktok_video_search.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-echotik-list-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.

## Authentication

Set `NEXSCOPE_API_KEY`. Visit https://www.nexscope.ai/help/skills-external-access?co-from=skillNS to manage credits.

## Usage Examples

**1. Top US videos by views**
```json
{
  "region": "US",
  "videoSortField": 3,
  "sortType": 1,
  "pageSize": 20,
  "pageNum": 1
}
```

**2. Highest-converting selling videos (by video sales)**
```json
{
  "region": "US",
  "salesFlag": 1,
  "videoSortField": 3,
  "sortType": 1,
  "pageSize": 20
}
```

**3. Videos by a specific creator**
```json
{
  "region": "US",
  "userId": "7234567890123456789",
  "videoSortField": 1,
  "sortType": 1
}
```

**4. High-view videos in a time range (sorted by likes)**
```json
{
  "region": "GB",
  "minTotalViewsCnt": 100000,
  "minCreateTime": 1717200000,
  "maxCreateTime": 1719792000,
  "videoSortField": 1,
  "sortType": 1
}
```

**5. Recent AI videos sorted by publish date**
```json
{
  "region": "US",
  "createdByAi": "true",
  "videoSortField": 2,
  "sortType": 1,
  "pageSize": 50
}
```

## Display Rules

1. **Present data in tables**: Show video description (truncated if long), views, likes, comments, shares, video sales, video GMV, publish date, and creator ID
2. **Link to original**: When `officialUrl` is available, provide it so users can view the video on TikTok
3. **Cover image**: If `coverUrl` is present, mention it so the user knows video thumbnails are available
4. **Duration formatting**: Convert `duration` (seconds) to a readable format (e.g., "1:30" for 90 seconds)
5. **Estimation notice**: Video sales and GMV are estimated values, remind users these are approximations
6. **Multi-period metrics**: When relevant, mention 1d/7d/30d views/likes breakdowns are available in the saved JSON
7. **Result count**: Always inform the user of `total` records and the current page; suggest pagination or tighter filters when the result set is large

## Important Limitations

1. **Region required**: `region` is mandatory; no default is applied by the API.
2. **pageSize rule**: Must be a multiple of 10 (max 100). Other values may be rejected or adjusted.
3. **createdByAi is a string**: Pass `"true"` / `"false"` (not boolean) -- the value is validated against `^(true|false)$`.
4. **Timestamps**: `minCreateTime` / `maxCreateTime` are Unix timestamps in seconds.
5. **Category/product IDs**: `productId` / `productCategoryId` / `userId` are internal IDs -- obtain them from prior results.
6. **No secondary processing**: Results are live queries, not stored in a database; secondary SQL/data processing is not available.
7. **Product-specific videos**: To list videos for one specific product (by `productId`), prefer the product video skill; here `productId` is only a filter within a region-scoped video listing.

## User Expression & Scenario Quick Reference

**Applicable** -- TikTok video discovery and performance analysis:

| User Says | Scenario |
|-----------|----------|
| "TikTok trending videos" / "TikTok top videos" | List videos sorted by views (field 3) |
| "TikTok promotional video ranking" | Filter salesFlag=1, sort by views/sales |
| "A creator's TikTok videos" | Filter by userId |
| "TikTok paid promotion videos" / "TikTok ad videos" | Filter isAd=1 |
| "TikTok AI videos" | Filter createdByAi="true" |
| "Recent high-view TikTok videos" | Views range + time range |
| "Which TikTok video has the highest GMV" | Sort by views, inspect GMV column |

**Not applicable** -- Needs beyond region-scoped video listing:

- Videos for one specific product by `productId` (use the product video skill)
- TikTok product search or rankings (use product search/rank skills)
- TikTok creator/influencer profile analytics (followers, bio)
- TikTok live-stream data
- Video download URL resolution (use the video download URL skill)
- Non-TikTok platform video data

**Boundary judgment**: When users ask about "TikTok videos", determine whether they want a region-scoped video listing with filters (this skill) or videos tied to one known product (the product video skill). If they mention a region or filters like "trending/promotional/paid videos" without a specific product, this skill applies.
