Definition

The systematic tracking and analysis of user-generated content (UGC) performance on TikTok, including video views, engagement metrics, hashtag adoption, and content spread across creators, measured via TikTok API data rather than manual screenshot collection.

In Depth

UGC campaigns on TikTok involve 10-100+ creators producing branded content. Tracking performance manually (checking each creator's profile, screenshotting metrics, compiling into spreadsheets) is a full-time job for campaigns with 20+ creators. API-based measurement automates this. Metrics to track: (1) Video performance -- views, likes, comments, shares for each UGC video. (2) Engagement rate -- (likes + comments + shares) / views per video. Benchmark: 3-8% is healthy for UGC. (3) Hashtag adoption -- how many unique creators used the campaign hashtag beyond the paid creators. Organic adoption indicates campaign resonance. (4) Content velocity -- how quickly UGC accumulates views. Fast velocity (80% of views in first 48 hours) vs slow burn (views accumulate over weeks). (5) Cross-creator comparison -- which creators drive the most views/engagement per dollar spent. API-based tracking via Scavio: (1) Search campaign hashtag: POST api.scavio.dev/api/v1/tiktok/search/videos with the hashtag query. Tracks total video count and top-performing UGC. (2) Individual creator posts: POST api.scavio.dev/api/v1/tiktok/user/posts with each creator's username. Extracts metrics for their UGC video. Auth: Authorization: Bearer {api_key}. Cost: tracking 50 creators daily = 50 post queries + 1 hashtag search = 51 requests/day = $0.255/day = $7.65/month. Compare to influencer management platforms charging $200-500/month for similar reporting. Reporting output: daily JSON with per-creator metrics, campaign totals, and trend data. Feed into Google Sheets, Looker, or a custom dashboard.

Example Usage

Real-World Example

Average engagement rate: 5.8%. Top performer: 420K views with 8.2% engagement. Lowest performer: 12K views with 1.1% engagement. The campaign hashtag was adopted by 15 organic creators beyond the 30 paid ones. Total monitoring cost: $2.17 for the full campaign.
