TikTok Hashtag Scraper - Videos, Views & Captions

TikTok hashtag scraper for the videos posted under any hashtag: one row per video with plays, likes, comments, shares and saves, the caption, the author, the sound, and a video link. Search words, creators, sounds and single video links work too, and every video costs the same. Nothing to log into.

The thing to know before your first run: a hashtag feed is what TikTok shows a visitor today, not the full history of the tag, and a creator's profile gives only their newest 10 or so videos. The limit covers the whole run unless you fill in Videos per input.

Input	Hashtags or tiktok.com/tag/ links; also search words, profiles, sound links and video links
Output	One row per video: plays, likes, comments, shares, saves, caption, hashtags, author, sound, branded flag, both video file links, and the input that found it. On request: creator numbers, size and place, subtitles, comments, image copies
Ceiling	2,000 videos per run, or per input; about 10 per profile
Account needed	None
Price	$0.25 per 1,000 videos on the Free plan, a little less on paid plans. The free plan's $5 a month covers about 20,000

🔍 What TikTok Hashtag Scraper does

It walks the feed behind each tag and flattens every video into one row. Search words, profiles, sounds and video links go in their own boxes and come back in the same shape.

The same video showing up under two of your inputs is returned once and billed once, labelled with the first. You can keep only videos above or below a like count or inside a date range, cap how many come from one creator, or have the run read ten times your limit and return the most liked, most played, newest or oldest.

A few field names are TikTok's own: diggCount is likes, collectCount is saves, and isAd marks branded content.

▶️ How to scrape TikTok hashtags

1. Open TikTok Hashtag Scraper and click Try for free.
2. Type tags into Hashtags, one per line, or fill in any of the other boxes.
3. Set Max videos per run, or Videos per input to give each one its own share. Start at 50 while you look at the output.
4. Switch on any extras you want, then click Start.
5. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it from the Apify API.

Give it at least one input. A run with nothing in any box ends with one free BAD_INPUT row, not a sample.

💰 How much does it cost to scrape TikTok hashtags?

$0.25 per 1,000 videos on the Free plan. Paid plans pay a little less: $0.248 on Starter, $0.246 on Scale and $0.244 on Business. On the free plan, the $5 Apify gives you each month covers about 20,000 videos.

You pay for videos delivered. A comment row, when you ask for comments, is charged as a result at the same price. Diagnostic rows, a video found twice, and videos a sort reads but does not return are not charged. The likes and date filters and the image copies are optional add-ons, off unless you set them. They are free until 9 November 2026, and from that day:

Add-on	Price
Likes and date filters	$0.01 per 1,000 videos they check and leave out, the same on every plan
storeImages	$0.25 per 1,000 image copies on the Free plan, a little less on paid plans

📥 What you give it

{
  "hashtags": ["cats", "spacex"],
  "resultsPerInput": 50,
  "sortBy": "mostLiked",
  "minLikes": 1000
}

Field	Default	What it is
hashtags	none	Tags, with or without #. The form opens with cats filled in as an example, which is a starting point rather than a default.
startUrls	none	Or paste links like https://www.tiktok.com/tag/cats. A plain word or #word here counts as a hashtag too. Anything else is skipped and named in the run log.
searchQueries	none	Words to search for, one search per line.
profiles	none	Usernames or profile links. Each gives that creator's newest videos, about 10. No row for the profile itself.
musicUrls	none	Sound links or the number at the end of one. Each gives videos that use that sound.
videoUrls	none	Links to single videos, share links included.
resultsPerPage	50	Videos for the whole run, 1 to 2,000. Not used when resultsPerInput is set.
resultsPerInput	none	Videos for each hashtag, search, profile, sound and link, 1 to 2,000.
sortBy	feed	feed keeps TikTok's order. mostLiked, mostPlayed, newest or oldest read up to ten times your limit (2,000 at most per input) and return the top ones.
minLikes, maxLikes	none	Optional add-on. A video whose like count could not be read is left out.
postedAfter, postedBefore	none	Optional add-on. Dates in UTC, like 2026-10-01; before is exclusive.
postedWithinDays	none	Optional add-on. The last this many days. Use it instead of postedAfter.
maxVideosPerCreator	none	At most this many videos from one creator in the run.
excludePinned	false	Profiles only: leave out the videos a creator pinned.
includeCreatorStats	false	Add the creator block. About a second per creator.
includeVideoDetails	false	Add width, height and place. Reads each video's own page.
includeSubtitles	false	Add TikTok's own subtitles, when it has them.
commentsPerVideo	none	Up to 200 comments under each video, as their own rows.
storeImages	false	Optional add-on. Keep copies of the images in this run's storage.
sessionCookies	none	Optional: your own session, used only for your run. You are responsible for using it within the site's terms. The field is stored encrypted.
proxyConfiguration	off	Leave it off. It is there if you want to send traffic through your own servers.
notionConnector, notionParentId	none	Optional. Write each video into a Notion database as well as the dataset.

A filter value that cannot be used, like a minLikes above maxLikes, stops the run before any lookup with a free BAD_INPUT row, rather than returning videos you did not ask for.

📤 What you get back

A real row from a real run. The caption starts with emoji, so it is cut short here, and the media links are trimmed:

{
  "ok": true,
  "type": "video",
  "id": "7417800442127633707",
  "webVideoUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@lilpawdrama/video/7417800442127633707",
  "text": "...#cat #cutecat #catsoftiktok #catlover #cats #funny #pets #usa_tiktok",
  "createTime": "2024-09-23T11:34:25.000Z",
  "hashtags": ["cat", "cutecat", "catsoftiktok", "catlover", "cats", "funny", "pets"],
  "region": "US",
  "playCount": 136727,
  "diggCount": 22693,
  "commentCount": 127,
  "shareCount": 437,
  "collectCount": 1968,
  "downloadCount": 803,
  "isAd": true,
  "video": { "duration": 30, "cover": "https://p16-common-sign.tiktokcdn-us.com/...", "playAddr": "https://v45.tiktokcdn-us.com/...", "downloadAddr": "https://v45.tiktokcdn-us.com/..." },
  "music": { "id": "7136445672676411393", "title": "Cute", "authorName": "Aurel Surya Lie", "original": false, "duration": 179 },
  "author": { "id": "7412528791307715627", "uniqueId": "lilpawdrama", "nickname": "lilpawdrama", "avatar": "https://p19-common-sign.tiktokcdn-us.com/..." }
}

Every row ends with the newer columns, and the extras you switch on come after them. Here is how a real row ended on 24 October 2026, from the nasa profile with every extra on, links trimmed:

{
  "sourceInput": "nasa",
  "sourceType": "profile",
  "hashtagInfo": null,
  "musicAlbum": null,
  "authorProfileUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@nasa",
  "mentions": [],
  "creator": { "followerCount": 2136111, "followingCount": 23, "heartCount": 11352112, "videoCount": 59, "verified": true, "privateAccount": false, "bio": "Making the seemingly impossible, possible.✨", "bioLink": "science.nasa.gov/...", "accountCreatedAt": "2026-07-20T15:55:49.000Z" },
  "videoWidth": 720,
  "videoHeight": 1280,
  "location": null,
  "subtitles": null,
  "subtitlesLanguage": null,
  "storedImages": { "cover": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/.../records/image-....jpg?signature=...", "authorAvatar": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/...", "musicCover": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/...", "photos": [] }
}

On a hashtag row hashtagInfo reads like { "id": "5216", "name": "cats", "viewCount": 439996153779, "creatorCount": 30102752 }.

Field	How to read it
id	Unique per video. Use it as your dedupe key across runs.
createTime	When it was posted, as an ISO timestamp.
playCount and the other counters	As TikTok reports them at read time. A counter TikTok did not send reads 0.
video.playAddr, video.downloadAddr	Signed links that stop working after a short while.
music, musicAlbum	null when the video has no sound, or the sound has no album.
hashtagInfo	Filled on hashtag rows, null on the others.
location	null when the creator tagged no place.

🧾 Reading the output

Three kinds of row land in your dataset.

Row	How to spot it	Billed
A video	ok: true and type: "video"	yes
A comment, when you asked for them	ok: true and type: "comment", with videoId	yes, as a result
A diagnostic	ok: false and an errorCode	no

Filter on type == "video" and you have your videos. An input that fails gets its own row, and the run moves on to the next one.

Code	What it means
NOT_FOUND	TikTok has no such tag, account, sound or video, or the account is private.
NO_RESULTS	Nothing came back for the whole run, or nothing matched your filters.
RATE_LIMITED	That input would not answer this run. Re-running usually clears it.
NOT_SERVED	This request was not served this run. Re-run it later. Runs before 13 October 2026 wrote BLOCKED here.
TIME_LIMIT	The run neared its time limit and stopped, keeping every video it had delivered. If none had come back by then, the run still ends as succeeded, with an amber status message.
BAD_INPUT	Nothing to look up, or a filter value that cannot be used. The run ends straight away as succeeded, and the row names the field.

The Overview table shows five columns, so a diagnostic row reads as a nearly blank line there. Open the row itself or download the JSON and everything is present.

💡 What people use it for

• Finding which posts under a niche tag actually travelled: sort by most played and keep the top 50.
• Building a list of the creators behind a tag: one video per creator, with creator numbers switched on.
• Building a swipe file of hooks: caption, sound, length and play count in one table.
• Separating branded posts from organic ones with isAd before reporting on reach.

From a trending tag to the people behind it, in two runs:

1. Run TikTok Trending Hashtags for your country and copy the hashtag column.
2. Paste those tags here with Videos per creator at 1 and Add creator numbers on, then sort the rows on creator.followerCount.

🚧 What it does not do

• No replies under comments and no follower lists. Replies and comments in bulk are in the table below.
• The feed is not an archive.
• A profile stops at about 10 videos, the newest ones on the public profile.
• A sort ranks what the feed serves, not TikTok's own all-time list.
• Media links expire. They are signed and short lived, unless you keep image copies.
• A counter TikTok does not send reads as 0. On a fresh video that can mean "not published yet" rather than none.
• An empty input ends the run with a BAD_INPUT row instead of returning a sample.
• It is not an official TikTok tool. Dami's Studio is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by TikTok, or by any other company named on this page.

❓ Questions people ask

Do I need a TikTok account to scrape hashtags?

No. The cookie field is optional.

Is the limit per hashtag or per run?

Per run, unless you fill in Videos per input: then each hashtag, search, profile, sound and link gets that many.

Why did I get fewer videos than I asked for?

TikTok stopped handing out more of that feed, an earlier input had already used the run's allowance, or your filters left the rest out. A narrow filter on a busy tag stops after ten pages in a row with no match.

Do the video links expire?

Yes, both file links and the image links are signed and expire. Switch on image copies if you need the pictures to last as long as the run's storage.

Can I call it from code or connect it to an AI assistant?

The API tab has code for Python, JavaScript and the CLI. MCP clients like Claude and ChatGPT use https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,dami_studio/tiktok-hashtag-scraper; coding assistants can load our skill file. All three bill your Apify account at the same price.

Is scraping TikTok legal?

This reads public videos only, never private accounts or messages. Results can still contain personal data, which GDPR and similar laws cover, so have a reason for collecting it. A bio can hold contact details, and the rules on cold contact apply to those. TikTok's own terms still apply to what you do with the data. Apify's write-up on the legality of web scraping is a good starting point, and we are not lawyers.

🆘 If something breaks

Open the Issues tab on the actor page. Include the inputs you used and the run ID, and the log is usually enough for us to see what happened.
