Unofficial TikTok Live Chat Streaming API (SSE)

Live chat stream

GETdev.omar-thing.site/api/v1/live_chat_stream

LIVE chat pushed to you over one open SSE connection instead of polling. Same events as /live_chat (comments, joins, likes, gifts). Optional alternative — /live_chat polling still works. Duplicate events are removed automatically. Auto-closes after 10 min (or 15000 events), then asks you to reconnect. Each API key may hold up to 3 live streams at once (chat+gifts).

Parameters
