How GiftTok measures public TikTok Live activity.

GiftTok monitors a reviewed list of public creator accounts. It checks whether each creator is live and, when a public room is available, follows that room until TikTok reports that it has ended, a later check confirms the creator is offline, or the connection drops and cannot recover.

The service records public room activity such as live status, viewer updates, gifts, likes, comments, follows, shares, battles, and multi-guest room signals where those events are available. GiftTok does not log into creator accounts or claim access to private creator payout information.

The homepage looks back over the previous 24 hours; it does not reset at midnight. New activity pushes a total up, while yesterday's activity eventually drops out of the other end. That is why a figure can fall even when nothing has been deleted.

• Gifts is the observed quantity of completed gift events in the window.
• Peak viewers is the highest observed room viewer figure in the applicable stream or window.
• Online now reflects the latest known live state and can lag briefly during connection problems.
• Top Revenue orders monitored creators by estimated gift value observed during the window.

When GiftTok sees a gift, it matches the gift identifier to the public catalogue and its coin cost. The site then applies the same value estimate across the board so creators can be compared consistently. Free public pages use broad bands on purpose rather than dressing an estimate up as an exact payout.

These figures are estimates, not invoices, balances, tax records, or guaranteed creator payouts. TikTok pricing, regional purchasing costs, promotional gifts, platform deductions, agency arrangements, and creator-specific circumstances can differ from this model. Currency conversion uses the site's latest available exchange-rate snapshot and can introduce further rounding.

The initial homepage contains a public snapshot cached at Cloudflare's edge for up to one hour. It is visible to visitors and search engines and carries its generation time. In a normal browser, JavaScript immediately requests the current public board and then refreshes live status every minute while the page remains open.

This means the board still has something useful to show if the live API is slow or briefly unavailable. The timestamp makes it clear when you are looking at the cached copy rather than a real-time result. Creator profiles and interactive member features still load from the application API.

GiftTok reports what its monitoring connections observed. TikTok availability, network interruptions, rate limits, account changes, age restrictions, deleted lives, catalogue changes, and software faults can all create gaps. A zero means no activity was recorded in that field; it does not prove that no activity occurred on TikTok.

GiftTok saves checkpoints while a stream is running and finishes the record when the live ends. A late event, reconnection or catalogue correction can therefore change a total you saw earlier. We would rather show an honest gap than make up a number to fill it.
