Cost & Proxy Notes

• Compute: very low (short browser sessions)
• Proxy: use residential group to avoid blocks (Apify proxy credits apply)
• Recommended: start with 1–5 URLs per run, scale up gradually

Limitations

• Only public videos (no private / restricted)
• Some stats (especially views) may be hidden by creator
• TikTok may change DOM/JSON structure → extraction can degrade over time
• Heavy batch runs may require stronger proxies or delays
