Tiktok Scraper

All-in-one TikTok data extraction for profiles, videos, followers, comments, search, hashtags, and music — in a single Apify Actor.

Fill only the input sections you need. Empty sections are skipped automatically. Results are split into separate, labeled datasets so each data type has its own clean table.

Built for influencer research, competitor intelligence, social listening, content analytics, lead generation, and data pipelines.

Why Choose This Scraper?

• One actor, seven workflows — profiles, videos, followers/following, comments, creator & video search, hashtags, and music
• Structured output — separate datasets for posts, profiles, connections, comments, search, hashtags, music, and errors
• Clockworks-style post views — Overview, Posts, Authors, Music, and Video tabs inside the Posts dataset
• Flat, export-ready fields — captions, engagement, author info, music, and video URLs without nested JSON cleanup
• Optional profile analytics — engagement rate, averages, posting frequency, and viral post count
• Mixed inputs — usernames, profile URLs, video URLs, video IDs, hashtags, and music IDs in the same run
• Partial success — one failed target does not stop the rest; errors are recorded in a dedicated dataset

Example — profiles + videos

{
  "profiles": ["taylorswift", "https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok"],
  "includeRecentPosts": true,
  "maxPostsPerProfile": 50,
  "includeProfileAnalytics": true,
  "videoUrls": [
    "https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7306132438047116586"
  ],
  "includeRelatedVideos": true,
  "maxRelatedVideos": 20
}

👤 Profiles

Field	Default	Description
Profiles	—	Usernames, profile URLs, or user IDs. One per line. Duplicates removed.
Include Recent Posts	true	Fetch recent videos for each profile.

Notes

• Public data only — only publicly available TikTok content is returned.
• Empty sections are skipped — you do not need to clear unused workflow fields.
• Freemium limits apply on the free plan (caps on list sizes and per-section maximums). Paid Apify users receive full configured limits.
• Duplicate inputs are removed automatically within each list.
• Numeric minimums — most limit fields require at least 10.
• Related videos depend on upstream API availability; some video IDs may return errors (check ⚠️ Errors).
• Per-target failures are logged and written to the errors dataset; other targets continue processing.
