TikTok Scraper: Videos, Comments, Hashtags & Profiles

This TikTok scraper gets videos by profile, keyword search, hashtag or video link, plus comments, profile details, followers and following of public accounts. Every video comes with its description, hashtags, mentions, post date, views, likes, comments, shares, saves, duration, music, author details, cover and video links. You pay only for real, unique rows, and IDs are always text, so long TikTok IDs never get rounded.

What you can use it for

• Scrape a TikTok profile to collect a creator's videos, newest first, with optional profile details (bio, followers, total likes).
• Search TikTok by keyword for brand monitoring, trend research and content ideas.
• Scrape TikTok hashtags to see which videos run under a campaign or trend.
• Scrape TikTok comments to read audience reactions, one row per comment.
• Fetch single videos from links to refresh views and likes for videos you already track.
• Scrape TikTok followers and following of public accounts for influencer and audience research.

Fair billing

• Only real videos, comments and users are charged. No demo, mock or placeholder rows, ever. If the data source sends one, it is dropped and counted in the run summary.
• No start fee, no per-run fee, no per-query fee, no minimum charge.
• Same price on every Apify plan, free plan included.
• Free Apify plan: up to 100 results per run (10 videos fetched by link, 10 profiles), so you can try it. Paid plans have no limit.
• Date, view and like filters and all limits are enforced by the Actor itself. Videos outside your filters are skipped and not charged.
• Max rows per input item and Max comments per video are exact: you never get, or pay for, more than you asked.
• Duplicates are never charged. A video found by a search and a hashtag is saved once.
• An empty run costs nothing for results.
• When you hit your spending limit, the run stops cleanly.

Output

One row per video, comment or user, with a type field. Field names never change between runs. Example video row (media links shortened):

{
  "type": "video",
  "id": "7470969622276164906",
  "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@stoolpresidente/video/7470969622276164906",

  "views": 141567, "likes": 18651, "comments": 152, "shares": 237, "saves": 274,

  "author": { "id": "6659752019493208069", "username": "stoolpresidente", "nickname": "Dave Portnoy", "followers": 4248754, "verified": true },

  "location": null,
  "source": "profile",
  "input": "stoolpresidente",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-02-01T10:00:00.000Z"
}

Comment rows have type: "comment", id, videoId, videoUrl, text, author (id, username, nickname), likes, repliesCount, postedAt, scrapedAt. User rows have type: "user", id, username, nickname, bio, followers, following, likesTotal, videosCount, verified, avatarUrl, url, source, input, scrapedAt. Missing values are null.

Each run also writes a SUMMARY record to the key-value store. For every input item it lists rows delivered, comments, whether the profile row was saved (profileRow, or profileSkippedBecause when it was not fetched), rows skipped by dates or filters, duplicates, placeholder rows dropped, and why it stopped (limit reached, no more results, not found, temporary error, spending limit, free plan limit or data source unavailable).

Pricing

$1 per 1,000 videos; $6.50 per 1,000 videos fetched by link; $0.50 per 1,000 comments; $1 per 1,000 followers or following; $6.50 per 1,000 profiles

Videos from profiles, searches and hashtags are "videos"; videos from your own links are "videos fetched by link". User rows from Followers of and Following of are "followers or following"; the user row that Include profile details adds for each profile is a "profile", because each one needs its own lookup. Prices are preliminary and may change after measurement.

Integrations

• MCP for AI agents: connect the Apify MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT or another MCP client and the agent can run this Actor as a tool.
• Schedules and webhooks in Apify Console for daily or hourly runs.

FAQ

Do I need a TikTok account or login? No. You only need an Apify account. You never enter TikTok credentials or cookies.

How many videos can I get? Up to 1,000,000 rows per input item on paid plans, and up to 100 results per run on the free Apify plan. TikTok decides how deep a profile, search or hashtag feed goes, so very old videos may not be reachable.

Why did I get fewer results than I asked for? Open the SUMMARY record. It says for each input why it stopped: no more results, videos skipped by your dates or filters, duplicates, not found, the spending limit or the free plan limit. TikTok feeds can also leave out some posts, or return different videos for the same request. For videos you track, add their links to Video links.

What about private accounts? Only public data is collected. Private accounts, and deleted or region-restricted videos, return nothing or show not found in the summary, and nothing is charged for them.

Can I schedule it? Yes. Create a schedule in Apify Console, for example a daily hashtag run with Posted after set, and connect an integration to get the new rows.

Do the video and cover links last? No. TikTok media links expire after some hours, so download files soon after the run.

Is it legal to scrape TikTok? The Actor collects only public data. You are responsible for how you use it: follow TikTok's terms and the laws where you live, and take care with personal data (for example under GDPR). This is not legal advice.

Tips

• Set Posted after on profiles: the profile feed is newest first, so the run stops as soon as it reaches older videos.
• Set Max rows for the whole run when you combine many sources with comments and want a firm total.
