## 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`).

**TikTok Viral Products Scraper** is the premier competitor ad spy and product research tool for modern e-commerce founders, dropshippers, DTC brands, and TikTok Shop sellers. Stop guessing which products might sell. Instantly uncover **battle-tested, scaling video ads** that have been generating profit for weeks across TikTok.

***

### 💡 Why Track Scaling TikTok Video Ads?

The #1 reason e-commerce brands fail is spending money testing unproven products with untested ad creatives.

Top 7-figure dropshippers use a simple, reliable strategy: **Find products where competitors are spending thousands of dollars running video ads for 30+ days**, then model their winning video hooks and optimize the product offer.

This Actor completely automates that discovery process:

- **🔥 Profitability Signal (Ad Longevity)**: Calculates exactly how many consecutive days each ad has been running. If a brand has been running an ad for 30+ days, it is virtually guaranteed to be profitable.
- **🎥 Direct Video MP4 Streaming Links**: Watch the exact creative hook, pacing, and visual storytelling directly via CDN links.
- **🛍️ Competitor Landing Pages**: Follow the ad's outbound link directly to the competitor's Shopify store, Amazon listing, or sales funnel.
- **📈 Virality & Reach Scoring**: Pinpoint top-of-funnel reach tiers (`1M+`, `100k-1M`) and multi-country scaling footprints.
- **🛡️ Zero Cookies Required**: Extracts data natively from official public transparency repositories with zero account risk.

### ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

#### What makes an ad a "Scaling Winner"?

When an advertiser keeps paying for an ad creative for 30 consecutive days or more, it means their return on ad spend (ROAS) is solidly positive. Filtering by `onlyScalingWinners: true` lets you skip untested creative experiments and see only battle-tested winners.

#### Can I download the video creative MP4?

Yes! Each record includes the direct `videoUrl` streaming link pointing to high-definition video assets on TikTok's CDN.

#### Do I need a TikTok account or cookies?

No. The scraper accesses official public transparency registries and does not require user accounts, passwords, or cookies.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
