Paid Apify plans only

This Actor is available on paid Apify plans. Free plan runs exit immediately with a single notice row explaining the requirement, no upstream calls, and no charges - so you never get billed for a blocked run.

Why: TikTok data collection costs money per result on the upstream side. Selling to Apify Free plan users means the Actor pays for every result but receives $0 in revenue. Requiring a paid plan keeps the Actor sustainable and the flat $3.50 / 1,000 results price stable.

How to unlock: any paid Apify plan works, including the entry-level Personal plan. Upgrade at https://apify.com/pricing.

Local runs (via apify run) stay fully functional for developers - the gate only triggers when APIFY_IS_AT_HOME is set (i.e., on the Apify platform).

⚡ Why This Actor?

Music virality detection - track sound-led trends and find every creator using a song
Hashtag analytics - view counts, video counts, growth signals, average views per video
Creator discovery by keyword - find creators in a niche before your competitors do
Computed metrics included - engagement rate, virality score (views/hour), age in hours - not just raw counts
Pay-per-result pricing - only pay for items actually returned

🆕 What's new in 1.5.0

Latest release ships five new output fields on popular_creators for TikTok Creator Marketplace workflows.

New fields on every creator row:

rank - the creator's numeric position in the popular-creators listing.
tcmId - TikTok Creator Marketplace ID (when provided by the data source).
tcmLink - direct URL to the creator's TikTok Creator Marketplace profile (constructed from the handle when upstream doesn't provide one).
creatorCountry - ISO code of the creator's base country (falls back to the Actor's region input).
topVideos[] - the creator's top videos as a nested array, each with videoId, url, coverUrl, viewCount, likeCount, and postedAt.

Backward compatibility: every existing saved Task returns the same output. New output fields are null on non-popular_creators rows and when the automatic fallback path runs.

Example - top popular US creators with TCM links:

{
  "mode": "popular_creators",
  "region": "US",
  "maxResults": 50
}

Full release history: see ./CHANGELOG.md.

📊 Reliability and track record

The numbers across the Actor and its parent portfolio:

0.20% failure rate across 176,512 lifetime runs (verified from Apify analytics).
0 open issues on this Actor's Issues tab.
0 closed issues - no complaint has ever been filed on this Actor since launch.
5.0 / 5 average rating across all published reviews.
275 total unique users have run this Actor since launch.
Updated within the last 24 hours (ongoing active maintenance).

The failure path is designed with explicit fallbacks:

popular_creators mode: direct data-provider endpoint → auto-falls-back to derive-from-trending-feed on any upstream error or empty response, so a run never returns zero rows for a transient hiccup.
Every mode handles upstream errors mid-pagination by returning what it has collected so far, not failing the whole run.
Free-plan platform runs exit cleanly with a notice row before any upstream call, so a wrong-plan run never produces an error dataset.

If you do hit a problem, open an issue on the Issues tab - responses typically land the same day.

🤔 When to use this vs. TikTok Shop Scraper

You need...	Use
To discover what's trending, what hashtags are hot, who's a rising creator, what sounds are going viral	🔥 TikTok Trend Hunter (this Actor)
To find winning products, GMV data, and shop-level revenue signals on TikTok Shop	TikTok Shop Scraper
To deeply analyze a creator you already know (videos, posting cadence, audience)	TikTok Creator Intelligence Suite

The natural workflow: discover here → analyze there → monetize on TikTok Shop.

🎯 Use Cases

Dropshipping product research - run popular_hashtags + trending_feed per target region; cross-reference with TikTok Shop Scraper to spot products before they peak.
Content strategy & calendaring - schedule trending_feed every 6 hours; auto-generate "make a video about X" briefs from the day's top videos.
Influencer discovery - search_users by niche keyword to build outreach lists in minutes, not weeks.
Brand & competitor monitoring - search_keyword for brand mentions; search_hashtag for branded hashtag campaigns; top_search for share-of-voice.
Ad creative timing - watch viralityScore (views/hour) on trending_feed; pause / launch paid creative based on which formats are spiking.
Music & sound marketing - song_intel returns every creator currently using a sound, perfect for labels, A&R, sync licensing scouts.
Per-region market research - swap region to see what trends in DE vs MX vs JP - identical input, totally different cultural snapshot.
Hashtag campaign planning - combine popular_hashtags (what's hot in-market) with search_hashtag (depth on a specific tag).
Track trending TikTok hashtags - schedule popular_hashtags per region to surface the best TikTok hashtags before your competitors; each row includes view counts and avg-views-per-video so you can prioritize.
Find TikTok influencers by niche - search_users turns a keyword like "fitness coach" or "beauty" into a ready-to-outreach list of TikTok creators with handle, followers, and video count.
TikTok food trends and recipe research - search_keyword for cuisines, restaurants, or ingredients returns viral cooking videos with engagement rate and virality score.
TikTok Creative Center alternative - Apify's trending_feed + popular_hashtags covers what TikTok Creative Center gates behind a business account and paywall, with no login required.
TikTok analytics without an API - viralityScore (views per hour), engagement rate, follower growth, and hashtag-level video counts give you competitive TikTok analytics without a Business Center account or research-API application.
TikTok Creator Marketplace lookup at scale - popular_creators mode returns a tcmLink per creator, so you can bulk-generate a Creator Marketplace outreach list for your next brand campaign without clicking profile-by-profile.
Spot emerging TikTok trends before saturation - Use the 1.7.0 Trend Intelligence enrichment on popular_hashtags or popular_songs to rank items by rank velocity and filter to earlyTrend: true. Daily scheduled runs build a rolling rank history in your Apify key-value store, so you catch trends while they're still rising.

🗃️ Key-Value Store

The Actor uses two collections in the default key-value store (visible under "Storage → Key-value store"):

Collection	Key prefix	Contents
Input	`INPUT`	The exact input the run was started with
Run summary	`summary-`	One JSON object per run with mode, region, items pushed, API calls, and a per-event count breakdown - drop into your billing dashboard

Example summary-run:

{
  "mode": "trending_feed",
  "region": "US",
  "startedAt": "2026-05-05T18:00:00.000Z",
  "finishedAt": "2026-05-05T18:00:42.000Z",
  "itemsPushed": 50,
  "apiCallsMade": 1,
  "perEvent": { "result_row": 50 }
}

📺 Live Status Web Server

While the Actor runs, a tiny HTTP server is exposed on the Apify container's Container web server URL (visible on the run page). Open it in a browser for an auto-refreshing dashboard.

Endpoint	Purpose
`GET /`	HTML dashboard - auto-refreshes every 3 seconds
`GET /status`	JSON snapshot of current run state
`GET /health`	Liveness check (`{"status":"ok"}`)

The full OpenAPI 3 spec lives in .actor/web_server_openapi.json and is published as the Actor's web-server schema, so Apify renders an "API" tab automatically.

❓ FAQ

Q: Is this legal? A: This Actor accesses publicly visible TikTok data through a third-party data API. The data itself is what any logged-out browser can see. Your downstream use is what determines legality - read the Terms of Service section below for the full picture, and review TikTok's own ToS before commercial use. Generally permitted: market research, content strategy, journalism, internal BI. Generally not: stalking, bulk republishing, training commercial AI without licensing, contacting minors.

Q: Why is no TikTok login required? A: All 9 endpoints used here pull data that TikTok exposes publicly to any logged-out visitor (the FYP for a region, public hashtag pages, public profile pages, etc.). The third-party API provider handles the request infrastructure, so you never plug in a TikTok username, password, cookie, or session token. Safer for you, and no risk of an account ban.

Q: How fresh is the data? A: Real-time at each Actor run. trending_feed, popular_hashtags, and popular_creators return the live state at the moment of the call - no caching layer in between. Schedule the Actor every 6 hours for a near-real-time content radar; every hour if you're tracking ad-creative spikes.

Q: Which countries are supported? A: Any ISO country code TikTok itself supports - 43 are pre-listed in the input dropdown including US, GB, CA, AU, IL, JP, KR, BR, IN, DE, FR, ES, IT, MX, ID, PH, VN, TH, TR, AE, SA, EG, ZA, NG, AR, CL, CO, PE, PL, NL, SE, NO, FI, DK, BE, PT, GR, CZ, RO, MY, SG, PK, BD. The region parameter is passed straight through.

Q: Why can't I see creator emails or phone numbers? A: This Actor returns only what TikTok exposes publicly: username, display name, follower / video counts, avatar, and TikTok Creator Marketplace profile link. No private contact data.

Q: How is this different from the TikTok Creator Intelligence Suite? A: This Actor is for discovery ("show me what's trending and who's relevant"). The Creator Intelligence Suite is for analysis ("I know who I want to research, give me their data"). Use them together: discover here, analyze there.

Q: Why do I need to provide a song URL for song_intel? A: Songs on TikTok are identified by URL (https://www.tiktok.com/music/Original-Sound-...). Get the URL by tapping the music name on any TikTok video; the Actor handles the rest.

Q: Is this Actor affiliated with TikTok? A: No. TikTok is a trademark of ByteDance. This Actor is independent and operates by calling a third-party data API.

Q: Why are some fields null in my outputs? A: TikTok's response shape varies by endpoint, region, and content type. The Actor is defensive: when a field is missing from the upstream response, it returns null rather than fabricating a value.

Q: Is there an official TikTok API for this? A: TikTok's official APIs exist (Research API, Marketing API, Display API) but they're gated: business verification, application review, restrictive rate limits, and none of them expose the FYP-equivalent trending feed by region. This Actor is the pragmatic TikTok API alternative for teams that need trending, hashtag, sound, and creator data at scale without an application review process.

Q: How to go viral on TikTok using this scraper? A: Two patterns: (1) schedule trending_feed per region every 6 hours, watch the viralityScore field (views per hour since posting) to spot formats spiking in real time, and produce content in that format before the wave crests. (2) Run popular_hashtags weekly per region to plan campaigns around hashtags before they saturate. This is trend-surfing, not a viral guarantee.

Q: What are the top TikTok trends for 2026? A: They shift week-to-week. Run this Actor's trending_feed mode for your target region to see the live 2026 TikTok trends right now, not a stale monthly writeup. Schedule it and compare snapshots to catch trend velocity.

Q: Can I use this as a TikTok Creative Center alternative? A: Yes for the discovery side. TikTok Creative Center requires a TikTok for Business account and gates most data behind login. This Actor pulls the same categories of signal - trending hashtags, viral sounds, popular creators, top videos - by region, with no login and no ad account required. Creative Center's ad-library and audience-insights features are outside our scope.

Q: How much does this cost? A: $3.50 per 1,000 results (pay-per-result). Every result across every mode - trending videos, hashtags, creators, songs - is billed at the same flat rate of $0.0035 each. A typical daily trend monitor (trending_feed per region, 50 items per run, 4 runs per day) costs about $21/month per region. Hashtag campaign research (10 hashtags × 100 videos) is ~$3.50 one-time. Influencer outreach list (50 fully-enriched creators including followers, video count, and Creator Marketplace link) is ~$0.18 per run. This Actor requires a paid Apify plan - free plan runs exit immediately with a notice row and no results. See the Paid Apify plans only section at the top for details.

Q: What is the TikTok Creator Marketplace link in popular_creators output? A: Each creator row in popular_creators mode includes a tcmLink field - a direct URL to that creator's profile in TikTok Creator Marketplace (TCM), TikTok's official platform for brand-creator partnerships. If you're running influencer-marketing campaigns through TCM, this field lets you jump straight from a scraped row to the official partnership workflow. No other TikTok Actor on Apify Store surfaces this.

Q: How do I narrow popular_creators to a specific country? A: The main region input drives the Popular Creators listing: setting region=US returns the top popular creators for the US. The Actor also populates each row's creatorCountry output field from the region so your dataset is self-labeled. For deeper narrowing (e.g. by follower size or audience geography), filter the output dataset in post-processing - every creator row carries followerCount and the Actor's region, so a one-line filter in your BI tool or Node script gets you any slice you want.

Q: Can I filter videos by length or publish date after fetching? A: Yes, in post-processing on the dataset Apify ships to you. Every video row carries duration (seconds) and ageHours (hours since posting). Example in JavaScript: rows.filter(r => r.rowType === 'video' && r.duration <= 60 && r.ageHours < 24) keeps only short videos posted in the last day. Filtering happens on your side after the run completes, so it doesn't affect what the Actor charges.

Q: Does the Actor return TikTok Shop products linked to a video? A: Not currently. TikTok Shop endpoints (shop search, products, reviews) exist in the data provider's catalog but aren't wired into any mode here yet. Flag this as a feature request on the Issues tab if you need it - it's on the roadmap, and prioritization depends on buyer demand.

Q: What's the difference between the direct endpoint and the fallback for popular_creators? A: popular_creators tries a dedicated upstream endpoint first (returns real rank data, TCM links, and per-creator top videos). If that endpoint errors or returns no rows, the Actor automatically falls back to deriving creators from trending_feed, which was the original method. The fallback output has every current field populated the same way; only the five fields new in 1.5.0 (rank, tcmId, tcmLink, creatorCountry, topVideos) are null under the fallback path. You can force the fallback by setting env var ACTOR_USE_DIRECT_POPULAR_CREATORS=0 on the Actor.

Q: Where's the changelog? A: See ./CHANGELOG.md at the repo root. It groups every release from 1.0.0 (2026-05-12) onwards into dated entries with Added / Changed / Fixed / Security / Removed sections.

Q: What are the AI enrichment events and do I have to pay for them? A: Four opt-in events shipped in 1.7.0 add trend intelligence, industry labels, AI brand briefs, and region summary reports on top of the base result rows. All four default to OFF - if you don't turn them on, nothing changes and you pay the same $3.50/1,000 results as before. See the Optional AI enrichment events section above for pricing and examples. The two LLM-powered events (industry classification and AI brief) use YOUR Anthropic or OpenAI API key, not ours; your LLM provider bills you directly for tokens consumed (typically ~$0.50 per 1,000 classifications and ~$1 per 1,000 briefs on Claude Haiku 4.5).

Q: How do I find trending TikTok hashtags right now? A: Run popular_hashtags mode with your region (e.g. US, GB, JP) and maxResults: 50. The Actor returns the top trending TikTok hashtags for that country at the moment of the call - live state, no caching. Schedule it every 6 hours for a current trending TikTok hashtags feed.

Q: Is there a TikTok API for this? A: TikTok's official APIs (Research API, Marketing API, Display API) exist but are gated: business verification, application review, strict rate limits, and none expose the FYP-equivalent trending feed by region. This Actor is the pragmatic TikTok API alternative for trending, hashtag, creator, and song discovery - no application process, no rate-limit tax, works at the first run.

Q: What's the best way to export TikTok trends to CSV or JSON? A: Apify ships the Actor's output as a dataset accessible as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, RSS, or XML - no extra configuration needed. The dataset URL is on the run page; append .csv or .json to the URL to pull the format you want directly from your pipeline.

Q: Can I use this as a TikTok Creator Marketplace scraper? A: Partially - popular_creators mode returns a tcmLink field on every row, a direct URL to that creator's TikTok Creator Marketplace profile. Buyers running brand campaigns through TCM can jump from a scraped row to the official partnership workflow in one click. Full TCM internal data (rate cards, past brand deals) requires a Business Center login and is outside the no-cookies scope.

Q: Does this cover TikTok analytics for my own account? A: No - this Actor is for discovering what's trending across TikTok publicly, not for pulling your own account's analytics. Use TikTok's native Creator Analytics or Business Center for first-party data. For competitive / market-level analytics (trending hashtags, viral sound tracking, popular creators per country), this Actor is the right tool.

Trend intelligence & creator marketplace questions

Q: How can I find emerging TikTok trends early, before they peak? A: Enable enableTrendIntelligence on popular_hashtags or popular_songs runs. The Actor keeps a 7-day rank history in your Apify key-value store, and tags each item with rankVelocity, saturationScore, and earlyTrend. earlyTrend: true means the hashtag or sound is rising fast and still has headroom - the window where a creator can post into it before saturation.

Q: How many hashtags should I use on a TikTok video? A: TikTok's own guidance via its Creative Center is 3-5 relevant hashtags per post. Fewer than 3 limits discoverability; more than 5-10 can look spammy to the algorithm. Use this Actor's popular_hashtags mode to pull 3-5 currently trending tags for your region, instead of recycling generic #fyp #viral tags.

Q: What's the difference between the TikTok Creator Marketplace and TikTok One? A: TikTok One is the newer umbrella product that houses the Creator Marketplace (TCM), creative tools, and campaign management. TCM remains the discovery/outreach layer inside it. This Actor's popular_creators mode returns the same creators brands see inside TCM - handle, follower count, video count, avatar, tcmLink - in a structured dataset you can filter and export, no TikTok One login required.

Q: How does this compare to TikTok's Creative Center? A: TikTok Creative Center is free and official but has three limits: UI-only (no export, no API), one query at a time, and the "trending" lists are curated by TikTok itself. This Actor pulls the raw public data behind those feeds plus search and song modes, as JSON/CSV, with your own filters (region, posting window), and it integrates with your BI/ETL/n8n/Zapier stack. Treat Creative Center as the browser view and this Actor as the pipeline.

Use the Apify > Run an Actor and wait for it to finish module:

Actor: UnseenUser/TikTok-Search-Scraper
Input (JSON):

{
  "mode": "popular_hashtags",
  "region": "GB",
  "maxResults": 100
}

Then chain a Get dataset items module pointed at {{1.defaultDatasetId}} to pull the rows.

Python

🚫 Honest limitations

What this Actor does well, and where it stops:

No private contact data. Returns only what TikTok exposes publicly: username, display name, bio link (if the creator added one), stats, verification badge, avatar. No emails, no phone numbers, no DMs.
No video transcription. The data provider has a transcription endpoint but it's not wired into any mode here. Clockworks' TikTok scraper exposes transcription and has an open "transcriptions-error" complaint on their Issues tab; we've deliberately deferred adding it until the quality bar is higher.
No comment scraping. Comments and comment replies are available upstream but not exposed in any mode. Comments involve higher ToS complexity and separate pricing considerations.
No live-stream scraping. is_live flags on creator profiles are not currently returned. Flag it on Issues if you need it.
No TikTok Shop products yet. The data provider has shop search / shop products / product reviews endpoints but none are wired into current modes. Candidate for a future release.
No rank history across runs. popular_creators returns the creator's current rank, but we don't yet store rank over time to compute rank changes or trend velocity. Candidate for a future release gated by a stateful key-value store.
Industry classification not returned. TikTok Creative Center exposes industry taxonomy (Food, Beauty, Gaming, etc.) and one competitor surfaces it, but that competitor requires TikTok cookies. We've prioritized the no-cookies constraint over this field.
No audience demographics by age / gender. TikTok Creative Center exposes rough audience-age and gender breakdowns to logged-in Business accounts, but this data is behind TikTok's authentication wall. The audienceCountry filter is the closest cookie-free equivalent.

If one of these limitations is a dealbreaker for your use case, open an issue on the Issues tab or email the publisher - several of these items are on the roadmap and buyer demand decides prioritization.

✨ Optional AI enrichment events (1.7.0)

Four new opt-in enrichment events add trend intelligence, industry classification, actionable AI briefs, and per-region summary reports on top of the base result rows. All four are OFF by default - saved Tasks that worked yesterday still produce the same output and the same bill unless you turn these on.

What you get and what it costs

Event	What appears in each row	Price per row	Fires on
`trend_intelligence`	`rankVelocity` (points/day moving up), `saturationScore` (0-100), `isEarlyTrend` + confidence, `relatedHashtags[]`, `rankHistory[]`	$0.005	Hashtag + creator rows from `popular_hashtags`, `popular_creators`
`industry_classification`	One of 20 industry labels (Beauty, Food, Gaming, Fitness, Finance, Technology, Travel, ...)	$0.005	Hashtag + song rows. Requires YOUR LLM API key
`ai_brand_brief`	A 2-3 sentence actionable brief: what the trend is, which brand fits, one campaign angle	$0.015	Hashtag + song rows. Requires YOUR LLM API key
`region_summary_report`	One aggregated row per region: totals, top-10 hashtags/sounds/creators, industry mix, average velocity	$0.05 per report	Once per region at the end of `trending_feed`, `popular_hashtags`, `popular_creators`

Bring Your Own LLM Key

The two LLM-dependent events (industry_classification and ai_brand_brief) call Anthropic or OpenAI using your API key, not ours. You pay your LLM provider directly for the tokens consumed. Typical cost on your LLM bill using the default "cheap" tier (Claude Haiku 4.5 or GPT-4o mini): ~$0.50 per 1,000 classifications and ~$1 per 1,000 briefs.

The key you provide is held in-memory for the single run, passed in-memory to the AI provider's HTTPS endpoint, and discarded when the run ends. The Actor never persists it. The log sanitizer actively redacts the key format if it ever appears in a logged line.

Full terms: see Section 17 of the Terms of Service below.

Minimal input example - enriched popular hashtags

{
  "mode": "popular_hashtags",
  "region": "US",
  "maxResults": 50,
  "enableTrendIntelligence": true,
  "enableIndustryClassification": true,
  "enableAiBrief": true,
  "enableRegionSummary": true,
  "aiEnrichmentApiKey": "sk-ant-...",
  "aiEnrichmentProvider": "anthropic",
  "aiEnrichmentModel": "cheap-default"
}

Run cost in this example: 50 × $0.0035 (base) + 50 × $0.005 (trend intelligence) + 50 × $0.005 (industry) + 50 × $0.015 (AI brief) + 1 × $0.05 (region summary) = $1.475. Plus whatever your LLM provider charges you for 50 industry calls + 50 brief calls (~$0.075 total on Haiku 4.5).

Minimal input example - trend intelligence only, no LLM

{
  "mode": "popular_hashtags",
  "region": "US",
  "maxResults": 50,
  "enableTrendIntelligence": true,
  "enableRegionSummary": true
}

Run cost: 50 × $0.0035 + 50 × $0.005 + 1 × $0.05 = $0.475. No LLM calls, no LLM key needed.

First-run note

The rankVelocity, relatedHashtags, and rankHistory fields need at least two prior runs of the same mode+region to produce non-null values (the Actor needs historical data to compare against). On a first-ever run of a mode+region combination, those fields come back as null. Schedule the Actor to run daily for a week to warm up the history store.

Model override

By default the Actor picks a reasonable cheap or premium model per provider:

Tier	Anthropic	OpenAI
`cheap-default`	`claude-haiku-4-5-20251001`	`gpt-4o-mini`
`premium`	`claude-sonnet-5-5`	`gpt-4o`

If you want a specific model, set the AI_ENRICHMENT_MODEL_OVERRIDE environment variable on your Actor to the exact model ID. The Actor passes it through to the LLM API verbatim.

Apify Actor - Terms of Service

Version: 4.0 Effective Date: May 5, 2026

0. ACCEPTANCE BY USE - IMPORTANT

Read this section first.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding legal agreement between you ("User," "you," "your") and UnseenUser, the Publisher of this Apify actor ("UnseenUser," "the Publisher," "we," "us," "our").

0.1 How You Accept These Terms

You accept these Terms by any of the following actions, each of which constitutes a clear, affirmative act of acceptance:

(a) Running the Actor - Initiating any execution of the Actor on the Apify platform
(b) Using any output returned by the Actor for any purpose
(c) Continuing to access the Actor's listing or documentation after these Terms are visible

0.2 Continuing Acceptance

Each time you run the Actor or use its outputs, you reaffirm your acceptance of the then-current Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms or any subsequent update, you must stop using the Actor immediately.

0.3 No Anonymous Acceptance

You cannot disclaim acceptance by:

Failing to read these Terms before running the Actor
Running the Actor through automated systems
Sharing your Apify account with others who may not have read these Terms

By the act of running the Actor on Apify, you bind yourself, your organization (if applicable), and any individuals or systems acting on your behalf or under your authority.

0.4 If You Do Not Accept

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not run the Actor. No use is authorized without acceptance.

PREAMBLE - UNDERSTANDING THE ARCHITECTURE

Before using the Actor, please understand the technical architecture of the service:

The Data Flow

You (User) → Apify Platform → Actor (software) → Third-Party API → Source Platform
                                                       ↓
You (User) ← Apify Platform ← Actor (software) ← Third-Party API

What Each Party Does

You (the User): Run the Actor on the Apify platform with input parameters you choose
Apify: Operates the cloud infrastructure that hosts and executes Actors. Apify is a Czech-incorporated company (Apify Technologies s.r.o.) governed by its own Terms of Service.
The Publisher (us): Publishes software code (the Actor) on Apify's platform. The Actor is a thin wrapper that translates your input into requests to a third-party API and returns the API's responses to you. The Publisher does not operate scraping infrastructure. The Publisher does not store or retain data returned by the Actor. The Publisher does not see, log, or process the personal data of any individuals returned in the Actor's outputs beyond what is incidental to passing the data through.
Third-Party API Provider: HarvestAPI (https://harvest-api.com) or Scrape Creators (https://scrapecreators.com). These are independent third-party companies that operate scraping infrastructure and return data from source platforms.
Source Platform: LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Linktree, etc. These are the platforms whose publicly visible data is accessed by the Third-Party API Providers.

Why This Matters

Your relationship with the Publisher is that of a software user to a software vendor. The Publisher has the responsibilities of a software vendor (functional code, accurate documentation) and the limits of one (the Publisher is not responsible for how you use the data you obtain).

These Terms operate alongside but do not replace:

Apify's Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy (governing your relationship with Apify)
HarvestAPI Terms of Service and Scrape Creators Terms of Service (governing the underlying data infrastructure)
Source Platform terms (LinkedIn, TikTok, etc.) governing the public data accessed
Applicable law in your jurisdiction and the jurisdictions of data subjects

These Terms incorporate the actor-specific addendum published in each Actor's individual listing ("Addendum"). In the event of a conflict, the more restrictive provision applies.

1. NATURE OF THE SERVICE

1.1 What the Actor Is

The Actor is a software program published on the Apify platform. Each Actor:

(a) Accepts structured input from you on the Apify platform
(b) Translates that input into HTTP requests to a third-party API operated by HarvestAPI or Scrape Creators
(c) Receives HTTP responses from that third-party API
(d) Returns the response data to you in a structured format on the Apify platform

The Actor's source code is hosted on Apify's infrastructure. The Actor runs in Apify's cloud, not on the Publisher's servers. The Publisher operates no servers running the Actor.

1.2 What the Actor Is Not

The Actor is not:

(a) A scraping tool - the Publisher does not operate scraping infrastructure, proxies, headless browsers, or fake accounts
(b) A direct connection to any source platform - connections to source platforms are made by HarvestAPI / Scrape Creators
(c) A data storage or data retention service - the Publisher does not maintain a database of any data the Actor returns
(d) A licensed access channel to LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, X (Twitter), Meta, Linktree, or any other source platform
(e) Affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or authorized by any source platform

1.3 The Publisher's Limited Role

The Publisher's role is limited to:

(a) Designing and writing the Actor's source code
(b) Publishing the Actor on the Apify Store
(c) Maintaining the Actor (updating it when API providers change schemas)
(d) Providing documentation and customer support via Apify's contact mechanism

The Publisher is a software vendor, similar to a developer who publishes an app on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The Publisher is not a data provider, data broker, data processor, or data controller for purposes of GDPR, CCPA, Israel's Privacy Protection Law, or equivalent.

1.4 The Third-Party API Providers' Role

HarvestAPI (https://harvest-api.com) and Scrape Creators (https://scrapecreators.com) are independent third-party companies. They:

(a) Operate the actual data scraping infrastructure
(b) Maintain relationships with source platforms (or accept the operational risk of accessing public data without such relationships)
(c) Are themselves Apify publishers (HarvestAPI publishes 9+ actors directly; Scrape Creators publishes 10+)
(d) Provide their own Terms of Service governing their operations
(e) Are responsible for compliance obligations relating to the data collection itself

The Publisher is a customer of these providers. The Publisher is not their agent, partner, or representative.

2. WHO MAY USE THE ACTOR

2.1 Eligibility

You may use the Actor only if:

(a) You are at least 18 years old or the age of majority in your jurisdiction
(b) You have legal capacity to enter into binding contracts
(c) You are not located in or resident of a country subject to comprehensive sanctions by the United States, European Union, United Kingdom, or Israel
(d) You are not on any prohibited persons list

2.2 User Representations

By using any Actor, you represent and warrant that:

(a) Truthful identity: Information you provide about your identity and intended use is accurate
(b) Lawful intent: Your intended use complies with applicable law in your jurisdiction
(c) Source platform compliance: You will independently comply with the Terms of Service of any source platform whose data you obtain through the Actor
(d) Data subject rights: Where Actor outputs include personal data, you will respect data subject rights under applicable law
(e) No prohibited use: You will not use the Actor for any of the purposes prohibited in Section 4

These representations are continuous - they must remain true throughout your use.

Market research and competitive analysis
Academic research
Journalism and investigative reporting
Internal business intelligence
Brand monitoring
Recruitment research where consistent with applicable employment law

4.7 Reselling the Actor's Service

Reselling raw Actor outputs as your own data product or scraping-as-a-service
Sharing your Apify credentials to provide third parties indirect access
Building competing API services using Actor outputs

4.8 AI Training Without Authorization

Using Actor outputs as training data for commercial AI/ML models without separate licensing authority from the source platform

4.9 Sensitive Targeting

Specifically targeting or profiling based on health conditions, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, political opinions, or other sensitive characteristics
Targeting children under 16 (or local age of consent for data processing)

4.10 Privacy Law Violations

Processing personal data of EU/UK/California/Israeli residents without complying with applicable privacy law
Failing to honor data subject access, deletion, or objection requests
Processing data for purposes incompatible with its publication context

5. SOURCE PLATFORM TERMS - YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

5.1 Acknowledgment

The Actor accesses publicly visible data on third-party platforms ("Source Platforms") through the Third-Party API Providers (HarvestAPI / Scrape Creators). Source Platforms include LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, X (Twitter), Meta/Facebook, Linktree, Komi, Pillar, Linkbio, Linkme, and Amazon.

5.2 Your Sole Responsibility

You acknowledge:

(a) You are solely responsible for ensuring your downstream use of data obtained through the Actor complies with the Source Platform's Terms of Service
(b) The Publisher makes no representation that any specific use is permitted under any Source Platform's terms
(c) The Third-Party API Providers, not the Publisher, bear responsibility for the lawfulness of the data collection itself
(d) You should review Source Platform terms before commercial use:
- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/user-agreement
- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/legal/page/global/terms-of-service/en
- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/static?template=terms
- X: https://twitter.com/en/tos
- Reddit: https://www.redditinc.com/policies/user-agreement
- Meta: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms
- Linktree: https://linktr.ee/s/terms/

5.3 Cease-and-Desist Compliance

If you receive a cease-and-desist letter or other legal demand from a Source Platform regarding your use of Actor outputs, you must:

(a) Cease the contested use immediately
(b) Notify UnseenUser within 48 hours via UnseenUser's Apify profile contact form (https://apify.com/UnseenUser)
(c) Cooperate with the Publisher as needed to mitigate
(d) Not assert against the Publisher any claim arising from your inability to use the Actor for that Source Platform

6. DATA PROTECTION - REFLECTING ACTUAL ARCHITECTURE

6.1 Roles Under Privacy Law

For purposes of GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA, Israel's Privacy Protection Law (PPL) including Amendment 13, and equivalents:

You (the User) are the Data Controller of any personal data you obtain through the Actor and subsequently process for your own purposes
HarvestAPI and Scrape Creators are the entities that collect data from source platforms - they bear the responsibilities of data processors or controllers (depending on context) for the collection itself
The Publisher acts solely as a software vendor, not as a data controller or processor, because the Publisher does not store, retain, or substantively process personal data - the Actor merely passes API responses through

6.2 No Data Retention by the Publisher

The Publisher confirms:

(a) The Publisher does not maintain a database of personal data obtained through the Actor
(b) The Actor passes data from the Third-Party API directly to you on the Apify platform - data does not flow through the Publisher's infrastructure
(c) Apify's standard execution and operational logging may include limited information about Actor runs (input parameters, run duration, data volume) - this is governed by Apify's own privacy practices
(d) The Publisher does not access, view, or analyze your Actor outputs except as needed for technical support if you specifically share them with the Publisher

6.3 Your Obligations as Data Controller

Where your use of the Actor involves processing personal data, you are responsible for:

(a) Establishing a lawful basis for your processing (consent, legitimate interest with documented balancing test, contract, etc.)
(b) Providing transparent notice to data subjects as required by applicable law
(c) Honoring data subject access, rectification, erasure, restriction, and portability requests
(d) Implementing appropriate security measures
(e) Conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments where required
(f) Appointing a Data Protection Officer if your operations require one
(g) Registering databases with applicable supervisory authorities
(h) Honoring opt-out requests for direct marketing
(i) Cross-border transfer safeguards where data crosses borders

6.4 Israel's Amendment 13 - User Compliance

If your use of the Actor involves Israeli residents' personal data, you must comply with the Privacy Protection Law as amended (Amendment 13, effective August 14, 2025). These obligations are yours as the data controller, not the Publisher's as the software vendor.

6.5 Sensitive Data Targeting Restrictions

You will not use the Actor to specifically target, profile, or build datasets focused on:

Health or medical conditions
Religious beliefs
Political opinions
Sexual orientation or gender identity
Genetic or biometric data
Criminal history
Children under 16

7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

7.1 Actor Code

The Actor's source code, schemas, documentation, and branding are owned by the Publisher. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Actor for permitted purposes during your active subscription/run with Apify.

7.2 Output Data

The Publisher claims no ownership over the public data the Actor returns. Source Platforms may have copyright, database rights, or other rights in their data; data subjects may have copyright in user-generated content. Your use of output data must respect these rights independently.

7.3 Restrictions

You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or reuse the Actor's code in a competing actor.

7.4 Feedback

Feedback you provide may be used by the Publisher to improve products without compensation to you.

8. PRICING AND PAYMENT

8.1 Apify Platform Billing

Pricing is administered through Apify's pricing models. Apify processes all payments. Apify's payment terms govern refunds and disputes.

8.2 Pricing Changes

The Publisher may change Actor pricing with at least 14 days' notice via the Actor's Apify listing.

8.3 No Refunds for Misuse

If your access is suspended or terminated for breach of these Terms, you forfeit any unused balance and are not entitled to refunds.

9. SERVICE AVAILABILITY AND CHANGES

9.1 No Uptime Guarantee

The Actor depends on:

(a) The Apify platform
(b) Underlying API providers (HarvestAPI, Scrape Creators)
(c) Source Platforms' continued public accessibility

Any of these may change behavior, restrict access, or become unavailable without notice. The Publisher makes no uptime guarantees.

9.2 Service Discontinuation

The Publisher may discontinue any Actor at any time. Reasonable notice will be provided when feasible.

10. DISCLAIMERS

10.1 "AS IS" Service

THE ACTOR IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ACCURACY OF DATA.

10.2 No Representation of Lawfulness

The Publisher makes no representation that your specific use of the Actor or the data it returns is lawful in your jurisdiction or under any Source Platform's terms. The burden of determining lawfulness for your use case is yours.

10.3 No Endorsement of Source Content

Content returned by the Actor was created by third parties. The Publisher does not endorse, verify, or take responsibility for it.

11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

(b) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID THROUGH APIFY FOR USE OF THE ACTOR IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT

11.2 Excluded Damages

Claims arising from your processing of personal data obtained through the Actor
Reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of defending such claims

12.2 Defense

The Publisher may assume defense at your expense. You will cooperate with the Publisher's defense.

12.3 Scope

The indemnification covers reasonable, foreseeable third-party claims arising from your use. It does not extend to:

Claims arising from the Publisher's gross negligence or willful misconduct
Claims regarding the Actor's source code itself (those are the Publisher's responsibility)
Claims regarding the Third-Party API Provider's data collection (those are their responsibility)

13. SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION

13.1 Termination by the Publisher

The Publisher may terminate your access for material breach, illegal use, breach of warranty, or upon credible legal demand.

13.2 Effects of Termination

Your license ends, you must cease use, and applicable provisions survive.

15.7 Language

English controls. Translations are for convenience only.

15.8 Publisher Identification for Legal Process

Upon receipt of valid legal process (subpoena, court order, or equivalent) directed through Apify's official channels, the Publisher's full legal identity may be disclosed as required by law. This Section ensures that you have a valid path to legal recourse if needed.

16. ACKNOWLEDGMENT

17. THIRD-PARTY AI SERVICE USAGE (OPT-IN)

17.1. The Actor offers optional enrichment events that call a third-party AI provider (Anthropic or OpenAI) using an API key that You provide via the aiEnrichmentApiKey input. Enrichment events do not run unless You provide the key AND opt in to the specific event (enableIndustryClassification and/or enableAiBrief).

17.2. When You provide an AI API key via the aiEnrichmentApiKey input, that key is used only during the current Actor run, passed in-memory to the AI provider's HTTPS endpoint, and discarded when the run ends. The Publisher does not persist, log, or substantively process the key. The Actor's log sanitizer actively redacts the key format if it ever appears in a logged line (defense in depth).

17.3. You are responsible for the usage, billing, rate limits, and compliance obligations arising from Your AI provider account. The Publisher does not pay for or receive revenue from Your AI provider's charges; those are billed directly from Anthropic / OpenAI to You based on tokens consumed. Typical costs on Your LLM bill: approximately $0.50 per 1,000 industry classifications and approximately $1.00 per 1,000 AI briefs when using the "cheap-default" model tier.

17.4. AI-generated enrichment output (industry classifications and brand briefs) is derivative commentary on public TikTok data, produced by the third-party AI model with no human review. You are responsible for how You use that output. The Publisher makes no warranty of accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any specific purpose for AI-generated content.

17.5. The AI provider's own terms of service govern Your use of the AI service through the Actor: Anthropic Usage Policies (https://www.anthropic.com/legal) and OpenAI Policies (https://openai.com/policies/). You should review the applicable policy before enabling AI enrichment events.

17.6. The Publisher may at any time add, remove, or change the AI providers and models supported, with notice via CHANGELOG.md.

🛡️ Actor-Specific ToS Addendum - TikTok Search & Discovery

This addendum supplements the Master Terms of Service V4.0. By running this Actor, you accept both the Master ToS and this addendum.

A. Architectural Disclosure

This Actor is a software wrapper. It accepts your input parameters, calls Scrape Creators' TikTok search and discovery endpoints, and returns the response data to you on the Apify platform. The Publisher does not store, log, or substantively process the data returned.

B. Nature of Data Returned

User search results (public TikTok creator profiles), hashtag data, keyword search results, popular creators and hashtags by region, song details and videos using songs, and trending feed videos by region. Includes substantial personal data: creator usernames, display names, photos, follower counts.

C. Permitted Use Cases

Trend discovery and content marketing strategy, influencer identification and audit, hashtag research for marketing campaigns, music/sound trend analysis for marketers and rights-holders, academic research on viral content, building creator-economy analytics products.

D. Specifically Prohibited Uses

In addition to Master ToS Section 4 prohibitions, you may NOT:

Build creator-stalking tools that track individual creators across regions or over time without their knowledge
Republish trending video content in commercial products without licensing from creators
Manipulate trending dynamics - coordinated viewing/sharing/commenting that violates TikTok's terms
Build TikTok substitutes that aggregate creator content as a TikTok alternative
Train commercial AI models on TikTok content without proper licensing
Identify and contact minors through this data (TikTok has many users under 18)

E. TikTok Platform ToS Considerations

TikTok's Terms of Service prohibit automated scraping. TikTok actively blocks scraping and may pursue companies whose downstream products visibly substitute for or compete with TikTok. If TikTok issues a cease-and-desist, notify the Publisher within 48 hours.

F. Minor Protection

TikTok has a substantial user base under age 18. Do not specifically target minors based on data from this Actor. Comply with COPPA (US), GDPR-K (EU), and equivalent children's privacy laws.

G. Music and Sound Data

Music rights are owned by labels, publishers, and artists. TikTok has licensing agreements with rights-holders. Extracting songs from TikTok for use elsewhere is not licensed by TikTok's agreements. You may use song-virality data for analysis but may not download or republish the songs themselves.

Trending data varies dramatically by region. Trending in one region does not predict trends elsewhere. Some content trending in Region A may be culturally inappropriate or illegal in Region B. Exercise editorial judgment when promoting trends across regions.
