Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## TikTok Scraper Extract data from TikTok — videos, hashtags, profiles, search results, comments, and music info. ### Features - **Hashtag scraping** — Scrape videos from any hashtag (e.g. `#viral`, `#funny`) - **Profile scraping** — Get all videos + full profile info for any TikTok account - **Video URL scraping** — Scrape specific videos directly by URL - **Search keyword scraping** — Search TikTok and get results for any keyword - **Comments** — Optional: scrape top comments for each video - **Music/Audio info** — Get song title, author, and audio details ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `hashtags` | `string[]` | Hashtags to scrape (without `#`) | | `profiles` | `string[]` | Usernames to scrape (without `@`) | | `videoUrls` | `string[]` | Direct TikTok video URLs | | `searchKeywords` | `string[]` | Keywords to search | | `maxVideosPerSource` | `number` | Max videos per input (default: 20) | | `scrapeComments` | `boolean` | Whether to scrape comments (default: false) | | `maxCommentsPerVideo` | `number` | Max comments per video (default: 20) | | `scrapeMusic` | `boolean` | Whether to include music info (default: true) | | `proxyConfiguration` | `object` | Proxy settings (Apify Residential recommended) | ### Output Each result is saved to the **Dataset**. Example output for a video: ```json { "type": "video", "sourceLabel": "hashtag:viral", "videoId": "7123456789012345678", "videoUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@user/video/7123456789012345678", "description": "This is so funny 😂 #viral #funny", "hashtags": ["viral", "funny"], "createTime": "2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z", "author": { "uniqueId": "some_user", "nickname": "Some User", "verified": false, "followerCount": 125000, "followingCount": 300, "heartCount": 2500000, "videoCount": 87 }, "stats": { "playCount": 1500000, "likeCount": 85000, "commentCount": 1200, "shareCount": 4500, "collectCount": 3200 }, "video": { "width": 1080, "height": 1920, "duration": 30, "coverUrl": "https://..." }, "music": { "title": "original sound", "authorName": "some_user", "original": true, "duration": 30 }, "comments": [ { "username": "commenter1", "text": "This is hilarious!", "likeCount": "234", "timestamp": "2d ago" } ] } ```` ### Proxy **Residential proxies are required.** TikTok blocks datacenter IPs aggressively. Use Apify Residential Proxy for best results. ### Cost estimate | Action | Approx. cost | |--------|-------------| | 100 videos (no comments) | ~$0.50 | | 100 videos + comments | ~$1.50 | | 1 profile (50 videos) | ~$0.30 | ### Notes - TikTok frequently changes its website structure. If scraped data is missing, the actor may need an update. - Scraping is rate-limited intentionally to avoid bans. - This actor uses **Playwright** with stealth fingerprinting to mimic real browsers. # Actor input Schema ## `hashtags` (type: `array`): List of TikTok hashtags (without #).
