⬆️ Output

Every row has a type: "video", "profile" or "comment". Follower and following rows are profile rows with relation and connectedTo. In Apify Console, the Videos, Profiles and Comments tables show each kind with its own columns. Video rows also say how each video was found: searchQuery and searchRank for keywords, searchHashtag for hashtags, searchMusic for sounds, relatedTo for related videos, and source for the input it came from. A video found by two of your inputs is saved once.

A video row (found by the hashtag cooking, with files and subtitles on):

Profile rows have the creator's username, nickname, bio, bioLink, followers, following, likes, videos, verified, privateAccount and avatarUrl.

Each run also saves a short report with how many videos, profiles and comments it saved, and any input it could not scrape with the reason (for example, a username that does not exist).

How can I use TikTok data?

• Trend research: see which videos, hashtags and sounds take off, and when
• Influencer research: compare creators by followers, likes and how their recent videos perform
• Competitor tracking: follow what brands and competitors post and how it lands
• Audience research: read what people say in the comments
• Content planning: find the formats, captions and sounds that work in your niche

Use TikTok Scraper from your code

Run it from your own code with the Apify API or the Python and JavaScript clients:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("automly/tiktok-scraper").call(run_input={
    "profiles": ["khaby.lame"],
    "hashtags": ["cooking"],
    "resultsPerPage": 50,
})
for row in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    if row["type"] == "video":
        print(row["authorUsername"], row["views"], row["url"])

🤖 Use with AI agents (MCP)

This actor works as a tool for AI agents. Connect any MCP-compatible AI assistant or agent to the Apify MCP server at https://mcp.apify.com (sign in with your Apify account), and it can find this actor, fill in the input and read the results by itself. Ask in plain words, for example "Get the 20 latest TikTok videos for #cooking and their top comments", and the agent runs automly/tiktok-scraper with an input like {"hashtags": ["cooking"], "resultsPerPage": 20, "commentsPerPost": 10}. Every input and output field has a plain description, so the agent knows what to type and what each column means. Agent runs cost the same as runs you start yourself.

❓FAQ

How much does it cost?

You pay only for the results you get: videos, profile rows and comments each have their own price per 1,000. See the Pricing tab for the current prices. Every Apify account gets $5 of free usage each month.

How many videos can I get?

Up to 10,000 per profile, hashtag, keyword or sound. TikTok itself shows only part of a hashtag or search to visitors, so very large numbers there can come back shorter; a creator's own videos can be read much further back.

Why do big numbers look rounded?

TikTok shows some large counts rounded (for example 1.0M views), and gives them to everyone that way. Follower and like counts on profile rows are exact.

Can I download the video files?

Yes. Turn on Save videos and each video file, without the TikTok watermark, is saved to the run's storage with its link in videoMeta.downloadAddr. Covers, avatars and sound covers work the same way. Max size of saved files keeps a run from growing too big: once it is reached, rows keep coming without files. Video files are larger than you might expect (often 5 to 20 MB each), so allow for that.

Can I use the same field names as other TikTok scrapers?

Yes. Video rows also carry the counts under the names other popular TikTok scrapers use (playCount, diggCount, shareCount, commentCount, collectCount, webVideoUrl, createTimeISO), hashtags as objects with a name, and the nested authorMeta, musicMeta and videoMeta, so existing code keeps working.

Do I need a TikTok account?

No. You don't need a TikTok account, cookies or an API key.

Can I scrape private accounts?

No. Only public profiles, videos and comments. Inputs that don't exist are skipped and listed in the run report.

Can I connect TikTok Scraper to other tools?

Yes. Start runs and download results with the Apify API or the Python and JavaScript clients, send results to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets or Slack with Apify integrations and webhooks, or let AI assistants run it through the Apify MCP server at mcp.apify.com.

Is it legal to scrape TikTok?

This scraper only collects information that people chose to make public. It does not collect private data such as email addresses or phone numbers. Profiles, captions and comments can still contain personal data, which may be protected by laws such as GDPR, so only scrape it for a legitimate reason and ask a lawyer if you are unsure. You can read more in Is web scraping legal?

TikTok Scraper is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by TikTok.
