Hi Team,
While extracting data found many entries which didn't have bioLink present in the results but available in TikTok profile
JSON response from one of the run response http://jsonblob.com/1328182551805878272
Hello, thank you for opening this issue.
From the JSON you provided I can deduce that you used the search input with the gofundme-volunteer value. Unfortunately, when scraping the search page, the TikTok API does not offer the complete authorMeta object, but only some information, the bioLink not being one of them.
It is possible, if you want to, to do a new search for the profiles you scraped (you can use this same scraper but also the this one https://console.apify.com/actors/0FXVyOXXEmdGcV88a/input). You can also automate this process by integrating the actors (see https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/actors).
We are sorry for the confusion and we want to help you get all the data you need. If you have any other question please feel free to ask.
Happy scraping!

Thanks for your response Luigi.
I verified that the approach mentioned above works and we are able to get bioLink.
2 suggestions:
- It is rather misleading to put
bioLinkin output of this scraper if that's never working. - Is there any options to get
bioLinkavailable in this scraper itself, scarpingbioLinkfrom another actor will incur us additional cost
Regards
The scraper is capable of getting the bioLink property, but only when you scrape for the profiles (meaning you add the username as an input for the actor,) like this run https://console.apify.com/actors/OtzYfK1ndEGdwWFKQ/runs/pj2JDPAQc0kq2X1Uw#output.
We are currently in the process of reworking some of our actors and the changes you are asking may be implemented in a new iteration of the renewal process, but it's gonna take some time. I will not close this issue and I will notify you when there will be any news in this matter.
Thank you for your patience.
Hi again,
thanks for the feedback. As my colleague explained it is possible to get this with another run, though I understand it means more costs on your side. I made a note in our system for a case more users will ask for it, but for now we won't be implementing it.
Hope the Actor will still be of use to you! I'm gonna close the issue for now, but if anything else comes up, please, do reach out.
