No coding required – you can run it from the Apify Console or via API.

Download videos and music from TikTok at scale with the most reliable TikTok Video Downloader. This high-performance Actor provides a seamless way to extract content in bulk, offering high-speed processing and high-speed persistent storage for long-term data accessibility.

Note: This tool is a dedicated downloader. It does not search TikTok by hashtag or profile; it extracts and stores media from the specific TikTok URLs you provide.

🚀 What does TikTok Video Downloader do?

The TikTok Video Downloader is a professional-grade scraper designed to extract high-quality media files directly from TikTok.

Key features include:

• 🔗 Bulk Downloads: Input hundreds of URLs and scrape them simultaneously.
