How does the "search term" feature work

Closed

My research team and I love your tiktok scraper program, it has been an absolute game changer for us! Recently, we decided to try the search term feature. How does that work? Sometimes it gives us 100s of results, sometimes we get 50 or less. We told it to scrape videos (not profiles) and we never get the same ones twice, which is both good and bad.
any advice or a meeting would be much appreciated Thank you and keep up the good work

Hi, thanks for your interest in the scraper! We're indeed currently experiencing difficulties with search scrape (sometimes it's fully blocked, sometimes gets few results) and will be working on it. We'll notify when it's fixed

Hi. Just a small update. I've manually checked newest TT's web version (the one we scrape), and with their newest version they tend to cut scrolling below 100 results. Although when I'm logged in, I get the old version (I guess it could be attached to me via A/B testing so we can't replicate it in the scraper). We'll be looking for other ways to use API to get more results, in particular by using mobile version

Thank you for your assistance! The hashtag scraper has worked very well for us, yielding many results. We recently ran into topics that didn't have a consistent hashtag so needed search terms. I appreciate your help and look forward to continuing your programs! We are looking at comments later and I did a trial of your comment scraper and it works amazingly! Thank you again!!

Hi! Thanks for patience. In the recent weeks we had a small update that should improve the number of results for search from ~100 to up to 200-300 in some cases. Although we have discovered that for some specific search queries (especially related to NSFW/NSFL topics) we will still collect <100 results).

I've mentioned that we were experimenting with mobile version, and we still are, but we can't give you any ETA regarding this. We are going to track the result count progress in another similar issue, so subscribe if you'd like to receive more progress on it https://console.apify.com/actors/GdWCkxBtKWOsKjdch/issues/dtesBD6jUGUUJNtLC
