This question is in regards to "TikTok data extractor" and "TikTok comments scraper". Does my access to the scraped data expire at some point? For example, I exported the data into an excel sheet, will the link to the video under "videometa/downloadaddr" stop working at some point in time? or if i stop paying the subscription cost?

Hello, thank you for opening the issue and for the interesting question!

Let's clarify: the links that point to the "downloaded media" (i.e. the downloadaddr) point to the key-value store generated by the run. You can check all of them by going from the menu on the left to Storage->key-value store. In short: these are "databases" stored on our platform for you and will hold your data for a set amount of time (or indefinitely, if you name them, check out this page). This means that as long the appropriate key-value store exists, you will be able to access the downloaded media.

Beware that key-value store have a monthly payment when they are stored on Apify. If you are subscribed the amount due will be detracted by your credit and eventually you will receive an invoice if the credit is not sufficient. In this case, the access to the key-value stores will be restricted from writing, but not from reading (so you will still be able to access the data) (more information here) but you will still be billed from the storage consumption. If you become a free user (stop paying the subscription) it's basically the same but the storage limit is set and not modifiable and also very small, making you hit the hard limit very easily.

Hope this clarifies a bit, feel free to ask more questions. Happy scraping!
