TikTok Scraper & Downloader Pro

Fast TikTok scraper for profiles, hashtags, posts, comments and no-watermark videos — with industry-standard output format.

What can it do?

• #️⃣ Hashtags — scrape videos for any hashtag feed
• 🎬 Post URLs — full details of specific videos: likes, comments, shares, collects, music + no-watermark MP4 URL
• 💬 Comments — extract comments for every scraped video
• 🔍 Search (experimental) — keyword video search. See Search notes below
• ⬇️ Downloads — save videos (no-watermark), covers, avatars, slideshow images and music covers to the Key-Value store
• 🎛️ Filters — sort profile videos (latest/oldest/popular), date ranges, min/max likes, exclude pinned posts
• 📤 Industry-standard output format — output fields (authorMeta, musicMeta, videoMeta, diggCount, playCount, ...) follow the de-facto standard TikTok dataset format, so most existing integrations and scripts keep working without changes

Output

Dataset contains video items (standard format), one user item per profile and comment items:

{
  "type": "video",
  "id": "7681719358225239326",
  "text": "Well… that didn't go as planned #comedy",
  "createTimeISO": "2026-09-04T12:00:00.000Z",
  "authorMeta": {
    "id": "127905465618821121",
    "name": "khaby.lame",
    "profileUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@khaby.lame",
    "nickName": "Khabane lame",
    "verified": true,
    "avatar": "https://..."
  },
  "musicMeta": { "musicName": "original sound", "musicId": "123" },
  "webVideoUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@khaby.lame/video/7681719358225239326",
  "videoMeta": { "duration": 48, "coverUrl": "https://...", "format": "mp4" },
  "diggCount": 307006,
  "shareCount": 5208,
  "playCount": 2210497,
  "collectCount": 1234,
  "commentCount": 6972,
  "noWatermarkUrl": "https://...",
  "hashtags": [{ "id": "", "name": "comedy" }],
  "isPinned": false,
  "isSlideshow": false
}

Failed inputs push an error item (input, error, errorCode) instead of crashing the run, so partial results are always kept.

🔍 Search (experimental)

Search scraping TikTok's web app is the hardest surface — TikTok aggressively blocks it. This actor ships a multi-engine pipeline (three browser engines + fallback). For reliable results, provide a real msToken:

1. Open tiktok.com in your browser
2. DevTools → Application → Cookies → copy the msToken value
3. Paste it into the actor input

Without msToken, search often returns a SEARCH_QUERY_NOT_FOUND error item. Other modes (profiles, hashtags, posts, comments) work without it.

Proxy

For best success rates (especially comments and large runs), use Apify Residential proxy:

"proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }

Ethics & privacy

This scraper only extracts publicly available data and does not collect private user data (emails, gender, location). Scraped content may contain personal data — use it in accordance with GDPR and TikTok's terms of service.

Limitations

• Followers/following lists, stories, reposts, subtitles and AI descriptions are not supported yet
• Profile results are capped by TikTok's public pagination
• musicURLs may return a MUSIC_NOT_FOUND error item when the source feed is blocked
