About TokGrid

What TokGrid is

TokGrid is a browser extension for people who research public TikTok content: sellers and product researchers, content marketers, creators, and analysts. It organizes the videos and product anchors that are already loaded in the page into a data list, a sample analytics view, a product view, and export/download workflows.

The product is built around a simple constraint: work with the page the user has opened, not a hidden database or a background crawler. The extension reads what the page has already rendered, using read-only page data. It does not overwrite fetch or XMLHttpRequest, does not intercept network requests, and does not make TikTok API calls to collect data.

Why local-first matters

Many research tools require you to send page data to a server or log in to a separate dashboard. TokGrid keeps page processing in the browser. That reduces the number of places your research data can go, and it keeps the workflow close to the page where the data appears.

Local-first is not the same as “no network requests ever.” Downloads contact TikTok media domains when you click them, and subscription validation contacts a license server. Those flows are narrow and separate from page data collection. The Privacy Policy explains each one.

What TokGrid deliberately does not do

• It does not promise a complete account history or a complete TikTok database.
• It does not bypass login, CAPTCHA, rate limits, DRM, or other access controls.
• It does not estimate sales, revenue, advertising performance, or virality.
• It does not provide creator ratings, automated outreach, or deep cross-creator comparison.
• It does not merge data across pages or store historical snapshots in this version.
• It does not claim affiliation with TikTok or ByteDance.

Current platform: TikTok

The current build supports public TikTok pages: Home, For You, and Following; video detail; hashtags; search results; user profiles; Explore; and music detail video lists. The extension is designed for logged-out public pages. It does not support private or logged-in-only content.

The interface is available in 30 languages and follows the browser’s UI language. The current extension version is 0.1.2.

Long-term direction

The broader direction is Social Media Data Intelligence: helping people organize public social content into data they can reason about. That is a direction, not a claim that other platforms are supported today. TokGrid currently supports TikTok only, and any future platform coverage should be announced only when it is actually available.

Independence

TokGrid is an independent product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by TikTok or ByteDance. TikTok and related marks are trademarks of their respective owners.
