2024-01-04

Features

2023-12-29

Features

Boosting for profiles is back: tick the "Boost profile scraping" option and it will be faster.

2023-11-18

Fixes

Fixed a bug where scraping comments and profiles fail. (tiktok-profile, tiktok-comments, tiktok-paid)

2023-09-29

Features

You can now search for profiles (Accounts) by username.

The actor will then search for the profiles and scrape the videos of each profile. (tiktok-profile)

2023-08-29

Fixes

Cheerio has been unblocked, you can now scrape posts quickly again, if you request <= 15 videos for tiktok-hashtag, tiktok-sound or <= 30 for tiktok-profile Features
You can now disable cheerio/HTTP querying in the input by setting disableCheerioBoost and disableEnrichAuthorStats to true. This will help if the problem with quick scraping arises ever again. (tiktok-hashtag, tiktok-profile, tiktok-sound, tiktok-free, tiktok-paid)

2023-08-21

Changes

Temporarily, boosting with Cheerio and additional querying for missing author stats has been disabled. It will be returned soon, once TikTok blocking is bypassed

2023-08-15

2023-08-14

Features

Features

2023-07-28

Features

Output now contains submittedVideoUrl in addition to webVideoUrl. It copies the post url in the input and may differ from the webVideoUrl, but both would lead to the same post. Will be present if you input direct post URLs. (tiktok-video, tiktok-comments-scraper)

2023-07-26

Fixes

Videos with sensitive content, which require a login, are now skipped gracefully (tiktok-video, tiktok-comments-scraper)

2023-07-25

BREAKING CHANGES

Proxies have been removed from input. Apify's datacenter proxies are always chosen, as they used to be by default (for all scrapers)
Scrape info about private/empty channels has also been removed from input, and set to true by default. If you applied this option and set it to false previously, you should experience no changes (tiktok-profile, tiktok-paid, tiktok-free)

Changes

The maximum memory is now limited to 4096 MBs for all pay-per-result actors (tiktok-hashtag, tiktok-profile, tiktok-sound, tiktok-video)

2023-07-11

Fixes

2023-06-26

Fixes

Fixed a bug when in some cases it would not return any comments. (tiktok-comments-scraper)
Fixed a bug during reply counting. Previously it would sometimes stop too early, especially if the requested number is low. (tiktok-comments-scraper)
If the author stats are missing, the scraper will now make an additional quick request to the author page to get them. These stats get cached, so the query is made only one time. (tiktok-profile-scraper, tiktok-hashtag-scraper, tiktok-sound-scraper)

2023-06-23

Features

You can now scrape replies. Note that currently it's not guaranteed that all of them are going to get scraped. (tiktok-comments-scraper)
Scraping is up to 4x faster if you limit maxResultsPerPage to 30 for posts and 15 for hashtags. This is because the scraper can utilize non-browser requests without the need to scroll. (tiktok-profile-scraper, tiktok-hashtag-scraper, will be added to tiktok-scraper once it is converted to a price-per-result system).
Added oldestPostDate and scrapeLastNDays to only scrape posts from now up to a certain date. (tiktok-profile-scraper)

2023-05-25

Features

You can now scrape videos using some music at URLs like https://www.tiktok.com/music/plan-7214283318660073474 (tiktok-sound-scraper)

Features

Fixes

Won't wait for the first XHR response with hashtags if the data in the initial script is enough.
Doesn't try to retry on 404 pages or private accounts anymore

2023-04-12

Features

Progress now tracks the last video reached while scrolling at a certain page (both for hashtags and profiles) and the comments scraped for a post. If scrolling fails (e.g. due to a captcha) the crawler will try to restore the scroll at the last video/comment, so as not to scroll all the way down again. If restoration fails though, it should fall back to the old behavior and print a warning.
Change default shouldRetryStuckComments to true, since now it's possible to restore scroll in such cases.
When comment or post list crawlers manage to scrape new videos by scrolling, retryCount is reset to 0.

Fixes

The hashtag route now catches the initial XHR response that adds usually up to 15 new videos which previously weren't scraped
Added failed request handler to post detail route, so that no matter what error happens during comment scrape, it's going to push partial results if retries are exhausted.

2023-04-03

Features

2023-03-07

Fixes

Hotfixed broken post URLs

2023-03-06

Fixes

Don't stop scrolling if there are still more videos to load (this happened when the initial videos count was less than exptected, now we check dynamically if there are more videos to load)

2023-02-22

Fixes

Don't get stuck if all videos or comments were already loaded before scrolling (this bug happened when there were less than 20 videos or comments)

2023-02-03

Fixes

Improved scrolling for videos that got stuck on 30 videos loaded. It is still a bit clunky and there is a lot of blocking but should work with few retries.

2023-01-27

Features

loginCookies are no longer required for scraping comments
The comment crawling is rewritten to scrape from underneath the post
no login sessions are created or managed anymore by the actor
loginCookies on input are deprecated and generate warning in the log

2022-2-1

Features

Add the possibility to scrape comments under login using loginCookies
Add login session management to avoid blocking of the account used for scraping comments
Searching hashtag and number of views for this hashtag are now stored in the output

Fixes

Actor does not deduplicate videos for different hashtags - improves the accuracy of the number of outputted items
Improved logs

2022-1-14

Fixes

fixed scraping of authorMeta data from scripts - affected: post urls and first batch of videos for hashtag and profile

2022-1-10

Fixes

updated scraping of hashtags and profiles - TikTok randomly displays two types of scripts with data
fixed number of output items to be the same as resultsPerPage
fixed Timed out error when waiting for the xhr response with data - the scraper now scrolls until it receives the response or the waiting/scrolling times out
more readable error messages
fixed progress caching
empty strings are no longer accepted as hashtag, postUrl or profile

2022-1-4

Fixes

updated scraping of individual posts - TikTok randomly displays two types of scripts with data

2021-10-20

Fixes

when page.waitingForResponse timeouts, it retires the session and restarts browser. This should prevent looping of timeouts on request retries

Features

TikTok sometimes sends a request for the same data two times. This behavior won't affect total number of outputted data, specified on input. (Also duplicity videos for a hashtag/profile searches will be scraped only once, but won't be counted into the number of outputted data for the specific search)
Sometimes there are more than 6 videos loaded on the search page. The scraper won't push them into the outputted results, so that the number of results remains consistent according to the specification on input.

2021-10-18

Fixes

computation of outputLength is no longer dependent on persisted progress, meaning scraping of more than one hashtag/profile is now working properly

2021-10-15

Fixes

handlePageFunction does not timeout when resultsPerPage are set low

2021-10-14

Features

New output structure
Added the possibility to scrape more than the first page of results (regulated by resultsPerPage input)
Scrapes user profiles defined on input by username in profiles
Added optional attributes maxConcurrency, maxRequestRetries and resultsPerPage to input
If resultsPerPage is not specified, it defaults to 10 and minimal value is 1
