How to build Viral sound finder with a social data API
You can build viral sound finder by calling 3 Scrapall REST endpoints for Instagram, TikTok and storing the JSON they return. The typical buyer is short-video editors and music marketers. Rank sounds by how many videos use them and how fast that grows.

Platforms and endpoints
| Product | Platform | Endpoint | What it returns |
|---|---|---|---|
| Viral sound finder | TikTok | /v1/tiktok/song | Get Song Details |
| Viral sound finder | TikTok | /v1/tiktok/song_videos | TikToks using Song |
| Viral sound finder | /v1/instagram/audio_reels | Get Reels By Audio Id |
Example request
Every endpoint is a plain HTTPS GET or POST with your key in the X-Scapi-Key header. Responses are JSON.
curl "https://api.scrapall.bipsport.com/scapi/v1/tiktok/song?clip_id=7439295283975702544" \
-H "X-Scapi-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"What you can build
A working viral sound finder needs three parts: a collector that calls the endpoints below on a schedule, a small database that keeps every response with its fetch time, and a view or alert that shows short-video editors and music marketers what changed. Scrapall handles the data collection, so you only write the product logic.
How to build it, step by step
- Get an API key on the Buy page; new accounts start with 20 free credits.
- Call /v1/tiktok/song first to check the response fields you need.
- Add the other endpoints (/v1/tiktok/song_videos, /v1/instagram/audio_reels) and store each JSON response with a timestamp.
- Schedule the collector (cron or a queue) and build the view or alert on top of the stored data.
