TikTok Scraper - Profiles, Hashtags, Search & URLs at Scale

Bulk-scrape TikTok by hashtag, profile, search query, or direct URL. Get videos with view counts, likes, comments, shares, hashtags, music info, and author data — all without an API key, login, or third-party token.

What this TikTok Scraper does

Choose one of four modes and the actor returns a clean stream of TikTok data:

• Hashtag mode — pass #fyp, #smallbusiness, #crypto and get the top videos for each
• Profile mode — pass usernames and get the latest videos from each, with profile metadata
• Search mode — pass free-form queries (e.g. "iphone unboxing") and get search results
• URLs mode — pass any mix of TikTok URLs (videos, profiles, hashtag pages) and let the actor route automatically

For profiles you can filter by date range, sort by latest or popular, and exclude pinned videos.

How it works

The actor uses Playwright (with stealth) to load TikTok pages exactly the way the official TikTok web client does. It extracts the SIGI_STATE and __NEXT_DATA__ JSON blobs embedded in the HTML — TikTok's own internal state — and normalises them to a clean record schema. No reverse-engineered private APIs, no fragile DOM scraping.

Cost & speed

A 20-video hashtag scrape completes in 8–15 seconds. A 100-video profile scrape completes in 25–45 seconds. Memory usage is ~1 GB due to Chromium.

FAQ

Q: Do I need a TikTok account? No.

Q: Can I scrape private accounts? No. Only public videos and profiles.

Q: Why are some views fields null? TikTok occasionally omits the play count in profile-list responses. Pass the video URL through the actor again (URLs mode) to get the full stat block.

Q: Does this work for live streams? Live streams don't appear in the standard SIGI_STATE; only on-demand videos are returned.

Q: How do I avoid hitting TikTok's anti-bot defenses? The actor already uses stealth mode and a realistic user agent. For very large batches, run in smaller chunks (e.g. 100 videos per run) rather than 1,000+ in one go.
