Trying to scrape # videos not working

jindrich.bar avatar

Hello and thank you for your interest in this Actor!

From the logs, it seems that you have a syntax error in the Page Function you're supplying to the Actor (semicolon (;) that should be a comma (,)).

However, keep in mind that TikTok is a heavily protected site with many specific quirks and that this generic Actor might not be able to scrape it properly. If you want to get your data without additional hassle, I suggest you use the Tiktok Hashtag Scraper (which does exactly what you want).

I'll close this issue now, but feel free to reopen it if you have any additional questions. Thanks!

hey, don’t think the hashtag scraper does what I need unfortunately as I'm looking to track total # of videos to a sound. they have a sound scraper, but it pulls individual videos vs aggregate data (and most of the sounds im tracking have thousands of videos).
