FAQ
Q: Do I need a TikTok account, cookies, or a proxy?
A: No. The actor uses TikTok's public search API accessible to anonymous visitors. No authentication or proxy is required.
Q: What is the statsV2 field and why does it matter?
A: TikTok's standard integer stats overflow at approximately 2 billion (signed 32-bit limit). The statsV2 field stores counts as strings, providing accurate numbers for large creators. The actor always reads from statsV2 first.
Q: Are video and cover image URLs permanent?
A: No. TikTok's CDN URLs are signed and expire, typically within 24 hours. Use postUrl as the stable reference to the video. Download or cache media promptly after scraping.
Q: Can I search for a specific creator's content?
A: Use @username as a query (e.g. @khaby.lame). Results include posts that mention that creator, though it is not equivalent to fetching their profile feed directly.
Q: What is the poi field?
A: Point of Interest — the location tag a creator attaches to a post. It only appears when the creator tagged a specific place. It includes name, city, country, and category.
Q: How many results can I get per query?
A: Up to 500. TikTok returns approximately 12 results per search page and the actor paginates automatically until the limit or has_more: false is reached.
Q: Why might I get fewer results than my maxResultsPerQuery setting?
A: TikTok search has a finite result pool per query, typically 50–200 unique videos. Once TikTok signals no more results, the actor stops regardless of the limit.
Q: Can I search in a specific language or country?
A: Queries can be in any language. The results reflect TikTok's global index for that keyword. Region targeting is not currently supported as a direct input parameter.
