description: TikTok's developer-platform APIs (Login Kit, Share Kit, Content Posting, Display, Embed
  Videos, Webhooks) are made available to registered developers without a published price. Access to
  Research Tools, Commercial Content API, and Data Portability API is gated by approval and audience
  rather than invoice. There is no public consumer-facing price for the TikTok APIs.

notes: TikTok does not publish a per-call price. Plans below capture the access tiers gated by approval
