What does this actor do?

• Filter by Creative Center video content tag (Beauty & Care, Fashion, etc.)
• 5 supported countries (United States, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia)
• 7-day and 30-day trending periods
• Optional Creative Center cookies for authenticated page sizes (up to 100 per request)
• Request size follows remaining client limit (capped at 100)
• Optional video-page enrichment for duration and detailed stats (likes, comments, shares, plays, collects)
• Deduplication by video ID across pagination pages
• Proxy support via Apify Proxy

Example input

{
  "country": "United States",
  "limit": 40,
  "period": "7",
  "sort_by": "vv",
  "videoContentTag": "All",
  "enrichFromVideoPage": false,
  "cookies": [
    { "name": "sessionid_ads", "value": "..." },
    { "name": "csrftoken", "value": "..." }
  ],
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}

Output

Each dataset item uses the legacy field names (for client compatibility), plus CreativeOne extras. Missing values are null (never empty strings).

{
  "video_id": "7649219659287334158",
  "title": "he's loving it #loveisland @Kalshi",
  "duration_in_sec": null,
  "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@emilysentner/video/7649219659287334158",
  "thumbnail": "https://p16-common-sign.tiktokcdn-us.com/...",
  "region": "United States",
  "country_code": "US",
  "created_at": "2026-06-08T12:00:00.000Z",

  "six_second_views_rate": 0.04915050348027984,

  "author": {
    "id": "7065438769372987398",
    "uniqueId": "emilysentner",
    "name": "Emily",
    "profile_url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@emilysentner",
    "profile_picture_url": "https://p16-common-sign.tiktokcdn-us.com/...",
    "bio": "24 | NC",
    "followers": 1201540,
    "verifiedAccount": null,
    "privateAccount": null
  },
  "stats": {
    "diggCount": null,
    "shareCount": null,
    "commentCount": null,
    "playCount": null,
    "collectCount": null
  },
  "source": "creativeOne",
  "enrich_status": null
}

When enrichFromVideoPage succeeds, enrichment fills duration, stats, and account flags:

{
  "duration_in_sec": 74,
  "author": {
    "verifiedAccount": false,
    "privateAccount": false
  },
  "stats": {
    "diggCount": 5400000,
    "shareCount": 1800000,
    "commentCount": 85300,
    "playCount": 40300000,
    "collectCount": 437451
  },
  "source": "enriched",
  "enrich_status": "success"
}

If enrichment is enabled but the video page is blocked, CreativeOne fields remain and enrichment-only fields stay null:

{
  "duration_in_sec": null,
  "stats": {
    "diggCount": null,
    "shareCount": null,
    "commentCount": null,
    "playCount": null,
    "collectCount": null
  },
  "source": "creativeOne",
  "enrich_status": "failed"
}

Differences from the legacy version

This actor replaces the older Creative Center scraper. You can keep using country, limit, period, and sort_by, plus the same core dataset field names (video_id, author.profile_url, stats.diggCount, etc.).

Area	Legacy version	This version
Data source	Creative Center popular-video endpoints + Puppeteer video-page scrape	TikTok CreativeOne API (CreativeCenterGetTopContentsList) via CheerioCrawler
Countries	~25 countries	5 CreativeOne video markets: United States, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia
sort_by	vv, like, comment, repost as distinct sorts	Same input values kept for compatibility; like / comment / repost all map to CreativeOne engagement. New option: sixSecondViews
Enrichment	Always scraped each TikTok video page for duration and stats	Optional via enrichFromVideoPage (default false). Without it, duration/stats/verified flags are null
New inputs	—	videoContentTag, cookies (larger page sizes), enrichFromVideoPage, proxyConfiguration
Output extras	Core legacy fields only	Adds CreativeOne metrics: created_at, video_views, engagement_rate, six_second_views_rate, organic_video_views, author.followers, plus source / enrich_status
Missing values	Often empty strings / omitted fields	Always null when unknown
Pagination	Fixed scrape flow	Guest ≈ 4 videos/page; with Creative Center / ads cookies, up to 100 per request

Migration notes

• Schedules that pass unsupported legacy countries (e.g. United Kingdom) will fail — switch to one of the 5 supported countries.
• If you relied on likes/comments/shares in the dataset, enable enrichFromVideoPage (and preferably Apify Proxy).
• sort_by: "like" (or comment / repost) no longer sorts by that exact metric; CreativeOne only exposes views, engagement rate, and 6-second view rate.

Limitations

• Without cookies, TikTok typically caps each page at 4 videos; with ads/Creative Center cookies, up to 100 per request
• Duplicate videos across pagination pages are skipped automatically
• Supported countries: United States, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia
• Cookies are optional for basic CreativeOne access; they unlock larger page sizes when provided
• Video-page enrichment is slower and may be blocked for some videos
