SignalTikTok Shop · profile region
Read the registered region from the TikTok Shop creator profile connected to this SignalShelf user. GET /api/v1/tiktok-shop/profile-region accepts your x-api-key header. TikTok Shop Affiliate Creator API access requires provider activation, creator authorization, and applicable app review. Paid-use and retention clearance and live validation are outstanding. This owner-authorized route reads only an account connected by the caller; it does not perform arbitrary public lookup.
Request parameters
Read the registered region returned for the TikTok Shop creator account connected to this SignalShelf user. This owner-authorized partial does not look up arbitrary TikTok handles.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
handle | string | Yes | TikTok username; must match the connected creator account. |
freshness | string | No | 24h (default), 1h, 7d, or live. Accepted cache hits are free; live forces refresh except simultaneous requests may share newly fetched data. |
Code examples
Set SIGNALSHELF_BASE_URL and SIGNALSHELF_API_KEY on your server.
curl "$SIGNALSHELF_BASE_URL/api/v1/tiktok-shop/profile-region?handle=handle" \
-H "x-api-key: $SIGNALSHELF_API_KEY"const response = await fetch(process.env.SIGNALSHELF_BASE_URL + "/api/v1/tiktok-shop/profile-region?handle=handle", {
headers: { 'x-api-key': process.env.SIGNALSHELF_API_KEY },
});
const body = await response.json();
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(body.error.message);
console.log(body.data, body.meta);import os, requests
response = requests.get(
os.environ['SIGNALSHELF_BASE_URL'] + "/api/v1/tiktok-shop/profile-region?handle=handle",
headers={'x-api-key': os.environ['SIGNALSHELF_API_KEY']},
timeout=30,
)
response.raise_for_status()
print(response.json())Response and pagination
The compatibility response includes handle, profile_url, and region. region maps only to TikTok Shop register_region; the canonical profile_url is generated from the verified connected username.
This is owner-authorized partial coverage. handle must match the TikTok Shop creator connected by the caller. register_region is different from selection_region; arbitrary public handles are not supported.
The response contains data and meta. data includes platform, resource, sample:false, provider, and the public source payload. Lists return data.items; individual resources return data.data.
Shop lists use the provider next_page_token as an opaque cursor; no cursor is returned for Profile Region.
meta includes event_id, mode, cache, credits_charged, fetched_at, age_seconds, and duration_ms. A fresh successful result costs one credit; accepted cached results and failures cost zero.
Availability and failures
Implementation is not a continuous availability guarantee. Source rate limits, retention, deleted content, restrictions, and regional availability apply. This is an independent SignalShelf contract, not a drop-in competitor response format.
400: invalid parameters. 401: missing/revoked key. 402: insufficient credits. 404: missing public resource. 429: SignalShelf throttle. 502/503: upstream failure or rate limit, with credit restored.
