Confusing restriction: Can’t apply both date and popularity filters — need clearer guidance or combined option
Closed
When trying to scrape TikTok with the Apify Actor, I encountered the error: "You cannot use date and popularity filters at the same time."
This makes it difficult to pull recent videos that also meet basic engagement thresholds. As a user, I want to scrape recent content and apply a minimum popularity filter (e.g. 1000 likes) to avoid scraping irrelevant low-engagement videos.
👉 Could the Actor:
Provide clearer guidance or a UI warning before running, or
Allow combined filtering (e.g. date + min hearts)?
Impact: Currently unable to efficiently scrape relevant, fresh TikTok data for content insights.
Hello and thank you for opening this issue.
Unfortunately, combining these two filters basically because TikTok does not allow composite sorting. We are able to use one filter or the other because we are able to sort by newest/oldest OR by popularity. With the videos sorted we are able to put a threshold and avoid scraping the whole channel just to find out there are no videos to match the filters!
Personally I think the date filter is much more reliable. You can set up a schedule to scrape the video from a specific profile once a week so that you can get all the video posted in the last 7 days and then apply your criteria for retention (e.g. number of likes).
We are however sorry for the confusion and we do appreciate the feedback. As you can see from the screenshot we do have a warning in the property description tooltip but we will think a better way to convey this information.
As before, I'll close the issue since this is more of a question on how the scraper works. You can still reply in this thread, there is no need to open a new one, and you can keep asking question if you want to.
