## Pricing

from $0.80 / 1,000 profiles

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

### TikTok Profile Scraper: Exact Stats, No Login

This TikTok profile scraper returns one row per creator: the exact follower, following, like and video counts, the bio and bio link, the verified and commerce flags, account age, every privacy setting, LIVE status and up to the 10 latest posts with their play counts. Give it handles or profile URLs, get one row per value in your order. No login, no cookies, no API key. You pay per profile delivered; missing handles and status rows are free.

Add a memory name and every scheduled run also tells you what changed since the last one: followers gained or lost, likes gained, new posts and their ids.

### Quick start

1. Paste handles or profile URLs into **TikTok handles or profile URLs**, one per line: `nike`, `@khaby.lame`, `https://www.tiktok.com/@mrbeast`.
2. Keep **Include the latest posts** on (free). Turn on **Read each post's details** if you want posting cadence, engagement rate and the like, comment, share and save counts per post (saves exact, the rest as TikTok reports them: 4 significant digits above 10,000).
3. Optional: type a **Memory name** such as `weekly-creators` and schedule the run to track growth between runs.
4. Click **Start**. Download the rows as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the API.

### What you get

One `profile` row per creator, flat, with field names compatible with the most used TikTok scraper (`fans`, `heart`, `video`, `diggCount`, `playCount`). Unknown values are `null`, never `0`. Fill rates below were measured on 54 real profiles on 2026-09-25 (Apify run `ZdEXzlkiUBTqEXgxw`, details run `tZJv0CIiOaO2aQOCd`).

| Field | What it holds | Example (@nike) | Filled |
|---|---|---|---|
| `followerCount`, `followingCount`, `heartCount`, `videoCount`, `friendCount` | Exact counts from TikTok's statsV2 block (the page prints rounded figures) | 9,239,551 followers, 49,159,223 likes, 1,085 posts | 54 of 54 (100%) |
| `uniqueId`, `nickName`, `id`, `secUid`, `profileUrl`, `avatar` | Identity and avatar URLs (with `avatarExpiresAt`) | nike, Nike | 54 of 54 (100%) |
| `signature` | The bio text | Just Do It. | 51 of 54 (94%) |
| `bioLink`, `bioLinkRisk` | The bio link and TikTok's own risk score for it | http://empli.fi/niketiktok, 3 | 24 of 54 (44%) |
| `signatureHandles` | Instagram, YouTube, X, Snapchat handles, emails and phone numbers found in the bio | `{ "platform": "email", "value": "mgmt@..." }` | 17 of 54 (31%) |
| `signatureLinks` | Every URL written in the bio text | linktr.ee/... | 3 of 54 (6%) |
| `verified`, `isOrganization`, `commerceUser`, `commerceCategory`, `ttSeller` | Badges and business account data | true, Sports, Fitness & Outdoors | verified 13 of 54 (24%), category 3 of 54 (6%) |
| `createTimeISO`, `accountAgeDays`, `nickNameModifyTimeISO`, `uniqueIdModifyTimeISO` | Account creation and last rename times | 2017-03-20, 3,475 days | created 54 of 54 (100%), name change 42 of 54 (78%) |
| `privateAccount`, `commentSetting`, `duetSetting`, `stitchSetting`, `downloadSetting`, `followingVisibility`, `openFavorite`, `isEmbedBanned` | Every openness setting | false, 0, 0 | 54 of 54 (100%) |
| `isLive`, `roomId` | Whether the account is streaming LIVE right now | false | 54 of 54 (100%) |
| `latestPosts` | Up to the 10 latest posts, plus up to 3 pinned posts first (`isPinned`), each with caption, play count, cover, video URL with expiry and `postedAtApprox` | 10 posts | posts 54 of 54 (100%), 10 posts 43 of 54 (80%), with a pin 36 of 54 (67%) |
| `averagePlays`, `medianPlays`, `maxPlays`, `minPlays`, `totalPlaysLatest` | Computed over the latest posts, pinned posts left out | 149,270 average, 93,350 median | 54 of 54 (100%) |
| `postsPerWeek`, `daysSinceLastPost`, `engagementRate` | Posting cadence and (likes + comments + shares) / plays; with post details on | 1.59 per week, 0.041282 | 54 of 54 (100%) with details |
| per post `createTimeISO`, `diggCount`, `commentCount`, `shareCount`, `collectCount`, `hashtags`, `musicName`, `subtitleLinks` | Per post stats with post details on (saves exact; likes, comments and shares as TikTok reports them, 4 significant digits above 10,000) | 3,993 likes, 76 comments | 609 of 609 posts (100%); caption files 205 of 609 posts (34%) |
| `followerDelta`, `heartDelta`, `videoDelta`, `newPostIds`, `newPostsCount`, `previousRunAt`, `isFirstSeen` | Change since the previous run under the same memory name | +1 follower and 0 new posts, two runs 3 minutes apart | every row from the second run on |

Play counts are shown as TikTok reports them: rounded to 4 significant digits on every TikTok page (for example 27,900 or 2,400,000,000). Like, comment, share and save counts are exact.

A private account's card is served by TikTok and delivered with `privateAccount: true`, `latestPosts: null`, `latestPostsReason: "private_account"` and `videoCount: null`. A handle TikTok does not know gets a free status row with status `not_found`.

### How much does it cost to scrape TikTok profiles?

You pay per profile delivered, plus a small start fee per run. Missing, invalid and duplicate handles, status rows and the run summary are free, and every option is free, including post details and the memory.

| Event | FREE and BRONZE | SILVER | GOLD | PLATINUM | DIAMOND |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Profile (per 1,000) | $1.00 | $0.90 | $0.80 | $0.55 | $0.28 |
| Actor start (per run, per GB of memory) | $0.002 | same | same | same | same |

Measured on Apify: 54 profiles with their latest posts took 15 seconds (0.28 s per profile) and USD 0.0029 of platform usage; with post details, 104 seconds (1.92 s per profile). The profile page answered on the first try for 54 of 54 profiles and the embed page for 54 of 54.

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| `profiles` | array of strings | `["nike", "khaby.lame"]` in the Console | Handles or profile URLs. `nike`, `@nike`, `https://www.tiktok.com/@nike` and `tiktok.com/embed/@nike` all work. |
| `maxProfiles` | integer | 10 in the Console, 0 (no cap) through the API | Stop after this many profiles; later values get a free `skipped` row. |
| `includeLatestPosts` | boolean | true | Up to the 10 latest posts from the creator's embed page, free. |
| `fetchPostDetails` | boolean | false | One extra page per post for the per post stats, cadence and engagement, free but slower. |
| `memoryName` | string | none | Named memory for run over run changes. |
| `resetMemory` | boolean | false | Forget the snapshots under the memory name first. |
| `tryDirectFirst` | boolean | true | First attempt from the Apify platform IP, retries through the proxy. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify datacenter | Egress for retries. No residential proxy is needed. |
| `maxConcurrency` | integer | 4 | Profiles fetched in parallel, 1 to 8. Rows keep your order. |

Every value gets exactly one row in your order: a `profile` row, or a free `status` row with `status` (`not_found`, `private`, `unavailable`, `blocked`, `invalid`, `duplicate`, `skipped` or `failed`) and a `message`. The last row is a `summary` with counters.

### FAQ

#### Do I need a TikTok account, cookies or an API key?

No. The profile page and the embed page are read the way a signed out visitor reads them, over plain HTTP. Nothing in the input asks for a credential.

#### Does it return all of a creator's videos?

No. TikTok serves a creator's post history only to logged in devices, so this Actor returns the profile card plus up to the 10 latest posts (pinned posts first, flagged) with their play counts. For the full stats of specific posts use the TikTok Video Scraper with their URLs.

#### Are the follower and like counts exact?

Yes. The page prints rounded figures and carries the exact ones in its statsV2 block; the row returns the exact follower, following, like, video and friend counts. Play counts on the latest posts are rounded by TikTok to 4 significant digits.

#### How do I track follower growth between runs?

Put a name in memoryName and use it on every run. Each row then carries followerDelta, heartDelta, videoDelta, the ids of posts new since the previous run and previousRunAt. The memory is a named key value store the Actor creates itself.

#### What about private accounts?

The profile card of a private account is served and returned with privateAccount true; its posts are not, so latestPosts is null with the reason private\_account. A handle TikTok does not know gets a free status row.

#### Can I see whether a creator is live right now?

Yes. isLive is true when the profile page carries a room id, which TikTok sets while the account is streaming.

#### Why does this Actor run with limited permissions?

Least privilege. It reads and writes only its own run storages, and the optional cross run memory is a named key value store it creates itself.

### What this Actor does NOT do

- It does not return a creator's full post history. TikTok serves it only to logged in devices; we measured 63 of 63 signed requests answered empty. You get up to the 10 latest posts plus pinned posts. For any post by URL use the TikTok Video Scraper.
- It does not return followers or following lists, comments, likes given, reposts or playlists.
- It does not log in, and it never asks for cookies or credentials.
- It does not return exact play counts: TikTok rounds them to 4 significant digits on every page.
- Follower changes need a memory name; without one the change fields are `null`.

### API example

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/automation_craft~tiktok-profile-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"profiles": ["nike", "khaby.lame"], "maxProfiles": 10, "memoryName": "weekly-creators"}'
```

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('automation_craft/tiktok-profile-scraper').call({ profiles: ['nike', 'mrbeast'], fetchPostDetails: true });
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
for (const row of items.filter((r) => r.type === 'profile')) console.log(row.uniqueId, row.followerCount, row.engagementRate);
```

# Actor input Schema

## `profiles` (type: `array`):

One value per line: nike, @nike, https://www.tiktok.com/@nike or tiktok.com/embed/@nike. A handle has 2 to 24 letters, digits, dots or underscores. Every value gets exactly one row, in the order given; duplicates, post URLs and anything that is not a handle get a free status row.

## `maxProfiles` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many profiles are delivered. Values after the cap are not fetched and get a free status row with status skipped. 0 means no cap.

## `includeLatestPosts` (type: `boolean`):

Free. Adds latestPosts: up to the 10 latest posts from the creator's embed page (plus up to 3 pinned posts, flagged isPinned) with caption, play count as TikTok reports it (4 significant digits), cover and video URLs, and the average, median, highest and lowest plays over them. Turn off for the card only (one request per profile).

## `fetchPostDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Free but slower. Opens the page of every latest post for its publish time, exact like, comment, share and save counts, hashtags, music and caption file links; this fills postsPerWeek, daysSinceLastPost and engagementRate. Measured on Apify: 10 to 13 extra pages per profile make a run take about 1.6 seconds more per profile (54 profiles in 104 seconds instead of 15, all 609 post pages answered).

## `memoryName` (type: `string`):

Optional. A name for a snapshot memory kept between runs. With it every row carries followerDelta, heartDelta, videoDelta, newPostIds and previousRunAt against the previous run under the same name. Profiles are delivered and charged on every run; if the memory cannot be opened the change fields are null and a status row says so.

## `resetMemory` (type: `boolean`):

Forget every snapshot stored under the memory name before this run starts; every profile then counts as first seen.

## `tryDirectFirst` (type: `boolean`):

When on, the first request for each page goes straight from the Apify platform and every retry goes through the proxy below on a fresh session. Measured on Apify: the platform IP answered the profile and embed pages on the first try and 2 to 3 times faster. Turn off to send every request through the proxy.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

The proxy used for retries (and for every request when the option above is off). Apify datacenter proxy by default; no residential proxy is needed.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many profiles are fetched at the same time, 1 to 8. Rows are still written in your order.
