FAQ

Q: Do I need a TikTok account?

A: No. This scraper works without TikTok authentication. It uses residential proxies to access public data.

Q: Why do usernames need to be without the @ symbol?

A: Enter just the username (e.g., charlidamelio not @charlidamelio). The scraper adds the @ prefix automatically.

Q: How is engagement rate calculated?

A: engagementRate = (likes + comments + shares) / views x 100. This is calculated per video and averaged across recent videos for profile-level metrics.

Q: Can I scrape private accounts?

A: No. Only public TikTok profiles and videos can be scraped. Private accounts return limited data (username, follower count only).

Q: Why are residential proxies required?

A: TikTok has aggressive anti-bot measures. Residential proxies are the default and provide the most reliable access. Datacenter proxies are almost always blocked.

Common Problems & Solutions

"Profile not found"

• Enter usernames WITHOUT the @ symbol
• Check if the profile is public on TikTok
• Verify the username exists by visiting tiktok.com/@username

"Rate limited" or scraping stops partway

• Reduce maxResults to 20-50
• Reduce videosPerProfile to 5-10
• Wait 15-30 minutes between runs
• The actor uses residential proxies automatically, but TikTok can still rate limit

"Engagement metrics seem wrong"

• Engagement rate = (likes + comments + shares) / views x 100
• Average metrics are based on publicly visible recent videos only
• Some videos may have view counts that haven't fully updated

"Demo data showing"

• Set demoMode: false in your input
