# TikHub through toolfare

> Searches, profiles, posts and comments from TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, Reddit, Threads, Douyin, Xiaohongshu, Weibo, Bilibili and Kuaishou — answered inside ChatGPT, Claude, Codex or Cursor. No TikHub account or API key of your own: toolfare makes each read and tells your AI the price before it runs.

Page: https://toolfare.ai/tikhub

## Use it from your agent

Paste this into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any agent with a shell:

> Set up https://toolfare.ai/skill.md, then use toolfare to answer: What TikTok videos come up for “protein pancakes” right now?

Apps without a terminal connect toolfare as an MCP server: https://toolfare.ai/docs#connect

## Use it from a script

```sh
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
curl -fsSL 'https://toolfare.ai/toolfare/toolfare.mjs' -o ~/.local/bin/toolfare
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/toolfare
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
export TOOLFARE_MCP_URL='https://api.toolfare.ai/mcp'
toolfare login
```

Sign in once per machine; the CLI renews the sign-in itself. On a CI runner or another server, create an API key in the toolfare console and set it as `TOOLFARE_API_KEY` instead of signing in. Paid calls on one sign-in or key run one at a time. `--max-cost` refuses a call quoted above that many credits (1,000 credits = $3).

## Price

Quoted to your AI before the read runs, then charged at TikHub’s own price for that endpoint. Each platform read has its own flat price, read from TikHub’s endpoint catalogue; checking TikHub’s own account balance is free. No fixed price table on the page, on purpose: endpoint prices differ severalfold and live in the provider’s billing module. A read that fails is never charged.

Balances and top-ups are in US dollars. Quotes and `--max-cost` count credits: 1,000 credits = $3 ($0.003 each).

## Use it when

- You want what a competitor or creator has been posting, on almost any major platform.
- You want what people are saying about a company or product in public posts and comments.
- You are researching a market where Douyin, Xiaohongshu or Weibo matter as much as TikTok.

## Look elsewhere when

- The account is yours and connected. Your own analytics are free and include private metrics this cannot see.
- You need thousands of posts in one go. A bulk scraper covers that.
- You want to evaluate a creator — audience, engagement quality, fake followers — rather than read their posts.

## Limits

- Public data only — private accounts and anything behind a login are out of reach.
- Each call is one search, profile, post or page of comments; wide research is many calls.
- Pay as you go from your toolfare balance, in US dollars; there is no subscription. A call runs when your balance covers its quote.
