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.

The API returns a maximum of 10 sounds per page (`pageSize` limit). - Cover art and audio URLs are CDN-hosted and may expire; download them promptly if needed. - `user_count` shows how many TikTok videos currently use this sound. - `create_time` is converted from Unix timestamp to ISO 8601 format. - Total available sounds: 879,000+ and growing. ### ❓ FAQ #### **Q: Do I need a TikTok account?** **A:** No, this tool uses specialized endpoints and does not require login, cookies, or account access. #### **Q: What's the difference between Hot and New?** **A:** `Hot` (orderBy: 1) shows the most popular sounds by usage. `New` (orderBy: 2) shows recently added sounds to the library. #### **Q: Are these sounds royalty-free?** **A:** These sounds are from TikTok's "Unlimited Sounds" library, which are available for use on TikTok.
