TikTok Scraper — Video, Profile & Hashtag Data

Scrape TikTok video metadata, profile analytics, hashtag trends, search results, and comments without needing a TikTok API key. Get structured JSON data for any public TikTok content with a single API call.

What data can you get?

Profiles — Full profile data for any TikTok user: username, display name, follower count, following count, total likes, bio, verified status, avatar URL, and video count. Works with profile URLs or @usernames.

Videos — Video metadata from any TikTok profile or video URL: video ID, description, likes, comments, shares, views, music/sound used, duration, creation time, and hashtags. Supports both individual video URLs and bulk extraction from profiles.

Hashtag — Discover trending videos for any hashtag. Get video metadata for content tagged with a specific hashtag, including engagement metrics and author information.

Search — Search TikTok and get structured results: video metadata, engagement stats, author info, and more. Equivalent to searching TikTok's discover page but as clean JSON data.

Tips

• Use residential proxies — TikTok aggressively blocks datacenter IPs. Residential proxies are strongly recommended for reliable scraping.
• Rate limiting is built in at 1 request per 2 seconds to avoid blocks and respect TikTok's servers.
• Combine actions — Use search or hashtag to discover content, then videos to get full metadata, and comments for audience analysis.
• Schedule daily runs to track follower growth, engagement trends, and content performance over time.
• The embedded data approach extracts TikTok's server-rendered JSON from the page HTML, which is more reliable than trying to interact with the dynamic JavaScript frontend.
