What is Shadow Ban?

A shadowban on TikTok means your video won't appear in search results or on the For You Page, limiting its reach. This Actor checks the indexEnabled property to determine if a video is shadowbanned.

    "https://www.tiktok.com/@username/video/1234567890",
    "https://vm.tiktok.com/shortlink"

}

Input Parameters

• urls (required) - Array of TikTok video URLs to check. Supports both full URLs and short links (vm.tiktok.com, vt.tiktok.com)
• maxRetries (optional) - Number of retry attempts per URL with new proxy IP (default: 3, max: 5)
