What is Vercel AI SDK?
TypeScript toolkit for building AI-powered applications with React Server Components, streaming, and tool calling.
Searching TikTok with Vercel AI SDK
This integration lets your Vercel AI SDK agent search TikTok in real time via the Scavio API. The agent gets back structured JSON with video results, creator profiles, hashtag data, engagement statistics -- ready for reasoning and decision-making.
Setup
Bash
npm install ai @ai-sdk/anthropic zodCode Example
Here is a complete Vercel AI SDK agent that searches TikTok using Scavio:
import { generateText, tool } from "ai";
import { anthropic } from "@ai-sdk/anthropic";
import { z } from "zod";
// TikTok search takes keyword (not query) and returns provider-native rows under data.search_item_list[].aweme_info.
const result = await generateText({
model: anthropic("claude-sonnet-4-5"),
tools: {
scavioSearch: tool({
description: "Query TikTok for real-time results",
parameters: z.object({ query: z.string() }),
execute: async ({ query }) => {
const res = await fetch("https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/tiktok/search/videos", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Authorization": "Bearer " + process.env.SCAVIO_API_KEY,
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify({ keyword: query, count: 20 }),
});
if (!res.ok) throw new Error("Scavio API error: " + res.status);
return res.json();
},
}),
},
prompt: "viral product 2026",
});
console.log(result.text);Full Working Example
A production-ready example with error handling:
import { generateText, tool } from "ai";
import { anthropic } from "@ai-sdk/anthropic";
import { z } from "zod";
// TikTok search takes keyword (not query) and returns provider-native rows under data.search_item_list[].aweme_info.
const result = await generateText({
model: anthropic("claude-sonnet-4-5"),
maxSteps: 5,
tools: {
scavioSearch: tool({
description: "Query TikTok for real-time results",
parameters: z.object({ query: z.string() }),
execute: async ({ query }) => {
const res = await fetch("https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/tiktok/search/videos", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Authorization": "Bearer " + process.env.SCAVIO_API_KEY,
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify({ keyword: query, count: 20 }),
});
if (!res.ok) throw new Error("Scavio API error: " + res.status);
return res.json();
},
}),
},
prompt: "viral product 2026",
});
console.log(result.text);Pricing
