TikTok Daily Posts Monitor — new posts per profile

Point it at a list of TikTok profiles, run it on a schedule, and get every post they published in the last day or two with full data: caption, exact timestamp, views, likes, comments, shares, saves, cover image, playable video address, hashtags, music, and the creator's follower count.

No login. No account. No proxy required — which is most of why it is cheap enough to run hourly across a long watchlist.

The thing no other TikTok scraper tells you

Every post-collection tool silently returns some of a busy day. This one tells you when that happened. Each profile comes back with a verdict:

windowCovered	Meaning
true	The profile's public posts reach back past the start of your period, so nothing inside it was missed.
false	The profile published more in the period than its public profile exposes. Some posts are missing — run more often to catch them.

If you are monitoring news accounts, that single flag is the difference between a dataset you can trust and one you merely hope is complete.

What it is built for, and what it is not

Built for: watching a set of profiles continuously — hourly, daily — and collecting what is new. Cheap per run, so frequent runs are the point.

Not built for: pulling a creator's back catalogue. TikTok's public profile exposes only its most recent posts, so a request for "the last 6 months" cannot be satisfied from a profile by anyone, and this Actor says so rather than returning a quiet fraction. If you already hold the post links, TikTok Post Data reads posts of any age, including years back.

Input

Field	Type	Description
TikTok profiles	list	One per line: https://www.tiktok.com/@name, @name, or name. Required.
Look back (days)	integer	Default 2. This Actor is built for 1–2 days; longer periods will often report windowCovered: false.
Max posts per profile	integer	0 = everything inside the period.
Posts in parallel	integer	Default 4.

Pricing

Pay per event, two of them:

• per post returned — the posts you actually get.
• a small per-profile check — because looking at a profile that posted nothing is still work. A quiet watchlist therefore costs very little, and a busy one scales with what it gives you.

Profiles that cannot be read are reported as free rows and never charged.

Limits, stated plainly

• A profile exposes only its most recent posts. For a typical creator that covers a day or more comfortably; for a very busy news account a 2-day window may not fit, and you will be told via windowCovered: false.
• Deleted, private and region-restricted posts cannot be read by anything without an account.
• Accounts that no longer exist are reported as account_unavailable rather than as an empty result, so a stale watchlist is visible instead of silently shrinking.
• Video addresses are signed by TikTok and expire within hours — download promptly if you need the file.
• Comments are not included; that is a different Actor.

FAQ

How often should I run it? Whatever your appetite for freshness: every few hours is a good default for news accounts, daily for slower ones. If a profile keeps reporting windowCovered: false, run it more often or shorten the look-back.

Will it return the same post twice across runs? Yes, if the post is still inside your look-back window — deduplicate on id. That is deliberate: re-reading a post also refreshes its view and like counts.

Do I need a proxy? No.

Can I get a creator's older posts? Not from a profile — see the limits above. Use TikTok Post Data with the post links if you have them.
