## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## TikTok Video Scraper 🎬

**Paste any TikTok link — get the full post data back as clean, structured JSON.** Works with regular video URLs, photo posts, short share links (`vm.tiktok.com`, `vt.tiktok.com`, `tiktok.com/t/…`) and even bare post IDs. No login, no cookies, no browser extensions.

---

### ✨ What you can do with it

- 📊 **Track post performance** — monitor plays, likes, comments, shares and saves for any post over time.
- 🎯 **Analyze competitors & campaigns** — pull exact stats for the posts that matter to you.
- 🧲 **Vet influencers** — check real engagement on the posts they pitch you.
- 🔗 **Expand short links in bulk** — turn `vm.tiktok.com/…` share links into canonical URLs + full data.
- 🤖 **Feed your pipeline** — push results straight into Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, or your own app via the Apify API.

### 🎁 What you get for each post

Caption, post date, play / like / comment / share / save / repost counts, duration, cover image, direct media URLs, hashtags, mentions, music/sound details, photo-post images, and the author's profile with follower / like / video counts.

### 🚀 How to use it

1. Add one or more **post URLs** (any format — full URL, short link, or post ID).
2. Click **Start** — results stream into the dataset as they're scraped.
3. Export as **JSON, CSV or Excel**, or read them via the API.

#### Example input

```json
{
  "postUrls": [
    "https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7231338487075638570",
    "https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMabc123/"
  ]
}
````

### 💰 Pricing

This actor uses **pay-per-event** pricing: you pay a small fee per post scraped. No subscriptions, no minimums — scrape 3 posts or 30,000 and pay only for what you get.

### ❓ FAQ

**Does it work with photo (carousel) posts?**
Yes — photo posts return the same record with `isPhotoPost: true` and the image URLs in `images`.

**Do I need a TikTok account or cookies?**
No. The actor only reads public pages.

**Why did a post come back empty?**
The post is deleted, private, age-restricted or region-blocked. Those can't be read publicly.

**Is this legal?**
The actor only collects publicly available data. You are responsible for how you use the data — see Apify's [terms](https://apify.com/terms-of-use) and consult local regulations for your use case.
