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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## TikTok Video Insights Scraper ### TikTok Video Insights Scraper Extract detailed public metadata from TikTok videos — likes, views, comments, shares, bookmarks, author info, hashtags, music, description, and more — using one or multiple video URLs. #### Features - Single URL or batch of URLs - Test mode for Apify automated checks (no real crawling needed) #### Why Use It? - Social media analytics & trend research - Competitor / influencer monitoring - Content performance tracking - Marketing intelligence & audience insights - Building TikTok datasets for AI/ML #### How to Use 1. Enter one TikTok video URL (or multiple in `urls`) 2. Run → results appear in the Dataset tab (JSON, CSV, Excel, etc.) #### Input Parameters ```json { "testMode": false, "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@username/video/1234567890123456789", "urls": [ "https://www.tiktok.com/@user1/video/9876543210987654321", "https://www.tiktok.com/@user2/video/1122334455667788990" ] } ```` #### Input Parameters | Field | Type | Required | Description | Default / Prefill | |--------------------|-----------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------| | `testMode` | boolean | No | Skips real crawling and pushes 2 dummy sample results. Used by Apify automated tests. Leave **OFF** for normal use. | false (prefill: true for Apify QA) | | `url` | string | No\* | Single TikTok video URL (video page or hashtag page accepted) | — | | `urls` | array | No\* | List of multiple TikTok video URLs (overrides `url` if both are provided) | — | \* At least one of `url` or `urls` must be provided in normal mode (when `testMode` is false). #### Output / Dataset Schema Each row in the Dataset represents one processed video. ```json { "videoUrl": "string", "authorHandle": "string", "authorName": "string", "description": "string", "hashtags": ["string"], "likes": "string|null", "comments": "string|null", "shares": "string|null", "bookmarks": "string|null", "views": "string|null", "music": "string", "scrapedAt": "string (ISO datetime)", "pageTitle": "string" } ``` #### Example Output Item ```json { "videoUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@charlidamelio/video/7123456789012345678", "authorHandle": "@charlidamelio", "authorName": "Charli D'Amelio", "description": "POV: you're my new bestie 🫶 #fyp #bestie", "hashtags": ["#fyp", "#bestie"], "likes": "2840000", "comments": "45000", "shares": "120000", "bookmarks": "89000", "views": "52000000", "music": "original sound - charli d'amelio", "scrapedAt": "2026-02-12T14:35:22.147Z", "pageTitle": "POV: you're my new bestie 🫶 #fyp #bestie | TikTok" } ``` #### Output Fields (Dataset Schema) Each row in the Dataset represents one processed TikTok video. | Field | Type | Example / Notes | Description | |----------------|-----------------|------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------| | `videoUrl` | string | "https://www.tiktok.com/@user/video/123..." | The input URL of the video | | `authorHandle` | string | "@username" | Author's TikTok handle (with @ prefix) | | `authorName` | string | "John Doe" | Author's display name / nickname | | `description` | string | "POV: you're my new bestie 🫶 #fyp" | Video caption / text overlay | | `hashtags` | array\[string] | \["#fyp", "#bestie"] | Hashtags extracted from description | | `likes` | string | null | "2840000" or null | Number of likes (as string) or null if hidden | | `comments` | string | null | "45000" or null | Number of comments | | `shares` | string | null | "120000" or null | Number of shares | | `bookmarks` | string | null | "89000" or null | Number of bookmarks / saves | | `views` | string | null | "52000000" or "Hidden" | Number of views (often hidden) | | `music` | string | "original sound - charli d'amelio" | Music / sound track name | | `scrapedAt` | string | "2026-02-12T14:35:22.147Z" | ISO timestamp when data was scraped (UTC) | | `pageTitle` | string | "POV: you're my new bestie 🫶 #fyp #bestie | TikTok" | Browser page title (for reference/debugging) | #### Cost & Notes - Recommended: start with 1–5 URLs per run, scale up gradually - US $0.05 per result - US $ 50.00 for 1,000 Results #### 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 #### Legal & Compliance This Actor uses browser automation on public pages — compliant with TikTok's public content access. Do not use for private/personal data collection without legitimate basis (GDPR/CCPA). See TikTok Terms of Service and Apify blog: Is Web Scraping Legal?
