FAQ

• Q: How do I find the aweme ID of a Douyin video?
  • The aweme_id is the numeric ID in any Douyin video URL. For example, in https://www.douyin.com/video/7658216586767060264, the aweme_id is 7658216586767060264. You can also paste the full URL directly.
• Q: Can I use video URLs instead of aweme IDs?
  • Yes! The actor automatically extracts aweme_id from Douyin video URLs (douyin.com/video/...), share URLs (iesdouyin.com/share/video/...), and short URLs (v.douyin.com/...).
• Q: Can I download multiple videos at once?
  • Yes! Simply add multiple video URLs or aweme IDs to the videos array. Each one will be processed individually with automatic rate limiting.
• Q: What quality is the no-watermark download?
  • The actor automatically selects the highest available quality MP4 stream, typically 1080p H.264 for the best compatibility.
• Q: What if a video doesn't exist or is deleted?
  • Invalid videos will return an error record with details. The downloader will continue processing remaining videos.
• Q: What is the difference between download_url_no_watermark and download_url_watermark?
  • download_url_no_watermark provides a clean video without any Douyin branding. download_url_watermark includes the standard Douyin watermark overlay.
• Q: Can I get just the audio/music?
  • Yes! The music_play_url field provides a direct link to the audio/music track (MP3 format).
• Q: What does horizontal_type mean?
  • horizontal_type = 1 means the video is horizontal/landscape. horizontal_type = 0 means vertical/portrait.
• Q: What data formats can I export?
  • Apify supports exporting results as JSON, CSV, Excel (XLSX), XML, HTML, and RSS.
• Q: Are the download URLs permanent?
  • No, Douyin CDN URLs are temporary and expire after a few hours. Download the videos promptly after extraction.

Rate limit exceeded	Too many concurrent requests	Wait a few minutes and try again
Partial results	Some videos failed while others succeeded	Check error records in the output for details
