Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## TikTok Scraper Scrape publicly available TikTok data (videos, user profiles, hashtags, and search results) at scale **without requiring TikTok login credentials or API keys**. Designed using **Crawlee + Playwright** to intercept XHR/Fetch network responses directly from TikTok's internal APIs, bypassing DOM obfuscation and bot mitigation. --- ### Features - 🎥 **Video & Post Scraping**: Extract captions, upload timestamps, author metadata, audio track metadata, video engagement stats (likes, shares, comments, plays), hashtags, video/cover URLs, and optional AI subtitles. - 👤 **Profile Scraping**: Extract user bio, follower count, following count, total video count, total heart/like count, verification status, and avatar image URLs. - #️⃣ **Hashtag Scraping**: Extract hashtag name, total video count, and total view count. - 🔍 **Search Query Scraping**: Search TikTok by keywords targeting Videos (`/video`) or Users (`/user`). - ⚡ **Priority Processing Logic**: Automatically prioritizes direct `postURLs` first when provided, before processing `profiles`, `hashtags`, or `searchQueries`. - 🎯 **Date & Engagement Filtering**: Filter posts early by relative age (e.g. `'7 days'`, `'2 weeks'`, `'1 month'`), ISO dates, minimum likes (`leastDiggs`), or maximum likes (`mostDiggs`) to save compute & storage. - 💾 **Binary Media Downloads**: Download full-resolution video binaries, covers, avatars, and audio covers directly into Apify Key-Value Store. - 🤖 **Optional AI Transcription**: Decoupled AI subtitle transcription mode (`downloadSubtitlesOptions: "TRANSCRIBE_ALL_VIDEOS"`). - 🚨 **Machine-Readable Error Emission**: Never fails silently — emits explicit error records (`PROFILE_PRIVATE`, `NOT_FOUND`, `POST_SENSITIVE`, `RATE_LIMITED`) with full context. --- ### How to Use #### Step 1 — Define your target inputs Specify any combination of: - **`postURLs`**: Array of direct video links (highest priority execution). - **`profiles`**: Array of TikTok usernames (e.g. `["khaby.lame", "tiktok"]`). - **`hashtags`**: Array of hashtag names (without `#`). - **`searchQueries`**: Array of raw search terms (with mandatory `searchSection` set to `"/video"` or `"/user"`). #### Step 2 — Configure filters & media options - Filter by date (`oldestPostDateUnified`, `newestPostDate`). - Filter by engagement (`leastDiggs`, `mostDiggs`). - Enable binary downloads (`shouldDownloadVideos`, `shouldDownloadCovers`, `shouldDownloadAvatars`). - Enable AI transcription (`downloadSubtitlesOptions`). #### Step 3 — Run & Export Click **Start** and export your structured dataset in **JSON, CSV, Excel, or JSONL**. --- ### Input Reference ```json { "postURLs": [ "https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7123456789012345678" ], "profiles": [ "khaby.lame" ], "hashtags": [ "fitness" ], "searchQueries": [ "gym workout" ], "searchSection": "/video", "resultsPerPage": 30, "oldestPostDateUnified": "7 days", "newestPostDate": "2026-12-31", "mostDiggs": 500000, "leastDiggs": 1000, "shouldDownloadVideos": false, "shouldDownloadCovers": false, "shouldDownloadAvatars": false, "shouldDownloadMusicCovers": false, "downloadSubtitlesOptions": "NONE", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` *** ### Sample Outputs #### 1.

The scraper automatically filters out older content before pushing records to the dataset. - **For custom features or issues:**\ Open an issue in the **Issues** tab on Apify Console. # Actor input Schema ## `profiles` (type: `array`): List of TikTok usernames to scrape (without the @ symbol). ## `postURLs` (type: `array`): List of direct TikTok video URLs (processed with highest priority if provided). ## `hashtags` (type: `array`): List of hashtag names to scrape (without the # symbol). ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): List of search terms to query on TikTok search. ## `searchSection` (type: `string`): Search tab section to target.
