Tiktok Hashtag Scraper

What does TikTok Hashtag Scraper do?

TikTok Hashtag Scraper extracts public videos from TikTok hashtags and returns clean, structured video data you can use for trend research, creator discovery, content monitoring, and social media analytics.

To try it, enter one or more hashtag names, hashtag URLs, or numeric challenge IDs, choose the maximum number of videos per hashtag, optionally set a region, and run the Actor. The results are stored in an Apify dataset and can be downloaded or consumed through the Apify API.

Because this Actor runs on the Apify platform, you also get scheduling, API access, monitoring, dataset exports, webhooks, and integrations with tools such as Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, and your own backend.

Why use TikTok Hashtag Scraper?

TikTok hashtags are one of the fastest ways to understand what people are watching, copying, remixing, and sharing. This Actor helps you turn those public hashtag pages into a structured dataset without manually opening TikTok and copying video information one by one.

Use TikTok Hashtag Scraper to:

• Track trending videos for a campaign hashtag.
• Discover creators posting under a niche topic.
• Monitor brand, product, event, or competitor hashtags.
• Compare engagement across regions.
• Build datasets for social listening, reporting, or content research.
• Feed TikTok hashtag data into dashboards, spreadsheets, and internal tools.

The Actor focuses on one job: scraping TikTok hashtag videos. It does not scrape comments, profiles, followers, or unrelated TikTok sections. If you need those, see the related TikTok Actors section below.

How to scrape TikTok hashtags

1. Open TikTok Hashtag Scraper on Apify.
2. Add hashtag names, URLs, or IDs to the Hashtag names, URLs, or IDs field.
3. Set Maximum videos per hashtag.
4. Enable Parse all videos only if you want the Actor to keep paging until no more videos are available.
5. Set a two-letter Region code such as US, GB, IN, or UA.
6. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
7. Open the dataset to preview, download, or send the results through the Apify API.

Example hashtag inputs:

{
    "hashtags": ["dance", "#fitness", "https://www.tiktok.com/hashtag/fyp"],
    "maxResults": 100,
    "parseAll": false,
    "region": "US"
}

Input

TikTok Hashtag Scraper has a simple input form. Click the Input tab on the Actor page to configure a run.

Field	Type	Description
hashtags	Array of strings	TikTok hashtag names, hashtag URLs, or numeric challenge IDs.
maxResults	Integer	Maximum number of videos to scrape per hashtag. Ignored when parseAll is enabled.
parseAll	Boolean	If enabled, the Actor keeps loading available videos until TikTok returns no more pages.
region	String	Optional two-letter region code used for localized hashtag results.

You can use plain names such as dance, names with a hash sign such as #fitness, full URLs such as https://www.tiktok.com/hashtag/fyp, or numeric challenge IDs if you already know them.

Output

The Actor stores each scraped TikTok video as one dataset item. You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel, or access it programmatically through the Apify API.

Example output item:

{
    "video_id": "7350000000000000000",
    "title": "Example TikTok video caption",
    "content_desc": "Example TikTok video caption",
    "author": {
        "nickname": "Creator Name",
        "unique_id": "creatorhandle",
        "avatar": "https://example.com/avatar.jpeg"
    },
    "cover": "https://example.com/cover.jpeg",
    "play": "https://www.tiktok.com/@creatorhandle/video/7350000000000000000",
    "duration": 21,
    "play_count": 125000,
    "digg_count": 9500,
    "share_count": 320,
    "comment_count": 140,
    "download_count": 0,
    "collect_count": 870,
    "create_time": 1710000000
}

Actual fields may vary depending on what TikTok returns for a specific video.

How much does it cost to scrape TikTok hashtags?

The final cost depends mainly on how many hashtags you enter, how high you set maxResults, and whether you enable parseAll. Small runs with a few hashtags and a limited number of videos usually finish quickly. Large hashtag discovery jobs can take longer because the Actor has to paginate through more result pages.

To control cost:

• Start with a small maxResults value to test the output.
• Use parseAll only when you really need every available video.
• Split very large keyword lists into several runs if you want easier monitoring.
• Schedule recurring runs only for hashtags you actively track.

Apify shows usage and run details in the Console, so you can monitor performance and adjust your input for future runs.

Tips and advanced options

• Use region codes to compare localized hashtag results, for example US vs. GB.
• Use exact campaign hashtags when tracking branded content.
• Use broader niche hashtags for creator discovery and trend research.
• Keep parseAll disabled for routine monitoring unless you need exhaustive historical collection.
• Export to CSV or Excel for quick analysis, or use the Apify API for automated pipelines.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

Is TikTok Hashtag Scraper an official TikTok API?

No. TikTok Hashtag Scraper is an independent Apify Actor for extracting publicly available TikTok hashtag video data. It is useful when you need structured TikTok hashtag data for analysis, automation, or monitoring.

Is it legal to scrape TikTok hashtag data?

This Actor is designed to extract publicly available data. However, your results may contain personal data, such as public usernames, profile images, captions, or creator information. Personal data is protected by laws such as the GDPR in the European Union and other privacy regulations around the world.

You should only scrape and process personal data when you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you are unsure whether your use case is compliant, consult a qualified legal professional.

Does this Actor scrape private TikTok data?

No. The Actor is intended for public TikTok hashtag video data. It does not log in to user accounts, bypass private profiles, or extract private account information.

Can I scrape multiple TikTok hashtags at once?

Yes. Add multiple hashtag names, URLs, or IDs to the hashtags input. The Actor processes each one and stores all video results in the same dataset.

Can I scrape all videos from a TikTok hashtag?

Enable parseAll if you want the Actor to keep loading available pages until no more videos are returned. For very large hashtags, this can increase run time and usage, so it is best to test with a limited maxResults first.

Why do I get fewer videos than my max results?

TikTok may return fewer available videos for a hashtag, region, or pagination path than the number you requested. Results can also vary over time and by region.

Can I use the data in Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, or my own app?

Yes. Apify datasets can be exported manually or consumed through API calls. You can also connect Actor runs to Apify integrations, webhooks, and automation tools.

What should I do if a run fails?

Check the run log first. The Actor logs progress for hashtag resolution, page fetching, retries, and pushed result counts. If the issue persists, open the Issues tab on the Actor page and include the input you used, the run ID, and a short description of what happened.

Can you build a custom TikTok scraper or workflow?

Yes. If you need a custom TikTok workflow, additional fields, a different output format, scheduled monitoring, or integration with your internal systems, use the Actor page support options to describe what you need.
