## What's an Apify Actor?

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.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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.

# README

## TikTok User Profile Scraper

Scrapes **public** TikTok user profiles and outputs structured JSON (same shape as parsing `webapp.user-detail` from `__UNIVERSAL_DATA_FOR_REHYDRATION__`).

### Input

The Console form is grouped into sections (usernames → user IDs → URLs → proxy & performance). JSON keys:

| Key | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `usernames` | Handles (`@name` or `name`), bulk list. |
| `userIds` | Numeric TikTok IDs as strings, bulk list. |
| `urls` | Full profile URLs. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Apify Proxy; set `useApifyProxy` to `false` for **direct-only** (no fallback). |
| `requestGapMs` | Delay between jobs (default `750`). |
| `maxRetries` | Per-fetch retries on network errors (default `3`). |

Provide at least one entry across `usernames`, `userIds`, or `urls`.

### Local runs

Input is **not** stored in the repo. On Apify, use the task/input UI. Locally, set `APIFY_LOCAL_STORAGE_DIR` to a folder whose default key-value store contains `INPUT.json` (for example `storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json` after `apify run` or your own copy). Running `python -m src` without that file yields empty input.

### Behaviour

1. **Direct** HTTPS to TikTok (no proxy) first.  
2. If blocked or incomplete HTML, **datacenter** Apify proxy (if enabled).  
3. Then **residential** proxy, up to **3** attempts per URL.  
4. After the first successful fetch via residential, **all following jobs** use residential only.  
5. Results are **deduplicated** by `unique_id` (first occurrence wins), then pushed to the dataset.

Optional `src/require.json` / `src/profile_overlay.json` in the image can fill sparse fields (same as the standalone extractor).

### Output

One dataset item per unique profile — fields include `uid`, `unique_id`, `nickname`, stats, avatars, `share_info`, `biz_account_info`, etc.

### Legal

Data is taken from publicly visible pages only. You are responsible for compliance with TikTok’s terms and applicable law.
