Support direct TikTok video URL input as alternative to 'profiles'
Closed
Hello,
I would like to request support for using a direct TikTok video URL as input instead of a username in the "profiles" array. My use case involves automating processing based on specific videos, not entire profiles.
Currently, the Actor requires a 'profiles' array, like:
{ "profiles": ["garyvee"], ... }
But I’d like to input a TikTok video URL such as:
{ "videoUrls": ["https://www.tiktok.com/@username/video/1234567890"], ... }
This would allow me to bypass profile crawling and target specific videos directly, which would reduce crawl time and improve precision.
Is this currently supported or planned? If not, could this feature be considered?
Thanks!

Hi, thanks for asking! I'd recommend you to add some pre-processing in your automation, and just modify the URLs, e.g. with a JS snippet like this: "https://www.tiktok.com/@username/video/1234567890".replace(/\/(video|photo).*/, '')" - it will convert a video url to a user URL, as long as it's in the format you have written
We try to keep our scrapers minimalistic so that over time we don't get bogged down in handling a lot of niche logic - this way we can focus on bringing you new features and improving performance
Hope this helps! If you'd like to ask something more - feel free to reopen this issue
