# Video › Screen Text

`GET /v1/tiktok/video/screen-text`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.insightsocial.app`
- URL: `https://api.insightsocial.app/v1/tiktok/video/screen-text`
- Auth: API key in header `x-api-key`

Returns the text shown on the video itself: native text stickers plus AI OCR of the cover frame, so burned-in editor captions are caught too.

Use it for the on-screen overlay text; the caption lives on post and the spoken words on post/transcript.

**50 credits** per call.
