TikTok Profile & Videos API

Get TikTok profiles and their latest videos as clean rows: every video's plays, likes, comments, shares, saves, caption, hashtags, mentions, sound, cover and post date, and each creator's followers, following, total likes, video count, bio, bio link, verified badge and join date.

Paste usernames or profile URLs. No TikTok account, no cookies, no login.

$0.29 per 1,000 videos on the Starter plan ($0.35 Free, $0.25 Scale, $0.22 Business); profile rows are free with videos. The prefilled run (2 profiles, 100 videos) costs about $0.03.

Why this one

• Videos and profiles, each in their own table. Videos go to the main dataset; each creator's profile (followers, following, likes, videos, bio, bio link, join date) goes once to a separate 👤 Profiles dataset, free with every video run.
• Exact follower and like totals. Profile counters are TikTok's exact numbers (86,878,951 followers for @zachking, not "86.9M").
• Date filter. postedAfter stops at the first video older than your date, so a daily or weekly monitor only pays for new posts. postedBefore closes the range.
• The profile's own tabs. Latest, Popular or Oldest, as on TikTok, plus the Reposts section (videos the creator reposted) and an option to skip pinned videos.
• Profile-only mode. Set maxVideosPerProfile to 0 to get just the profile rows: a quick way to enrich influencer lists.
• Sponsored posts flagged. isAd marks posts TikTok labels as an ad or paid partnership.
• Fails loudly, never silently. Every run saves a per-profile summary (OUTPUT) with its status (ok, not found, private, blocked) and why it stopped. If TikTok refuses a profile on every retry, the run is marked failed instead of quietly returning less.
• Fast and light. Plain HTTP, no browser.

Input

Field	What it does	Default
profiles	Usernames (with or without @) or profile URLs, e.g. zachking, @khaby.lame, https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok. vm.tiktok.com short links to a profile work too.	zachking, khaby.lame
maxVideosPerProfile	Videos per profile, in the order below (pinned videos come first in latest, as on TikTok); with reposts too, both count toward it. 0 = profile rows only. Up to 5,000.	50
profileSorting	latest (newest first, pinned first), popular (TikTok's Popular ranking: pinned videos, then mostly the most played, not strictly by plays) or oldest: the profile's tabs on TikTok.	latest
profileSections	videos (their own), reposts (other creators' videos they reposted), or both.	videos
postedAfter	Skip videos posted before this date (YYYY-MM-DD). Via the API you can also pass 7 days, 12 hours, ... Older pinned videos are skipped, not counted.	–
postedBefore	Skip videos posted after this date (the whole day counts), or a relative time such as 30 days.	–
excludePinnedPosts	Leave out the videos the creator pinned to the top of the profile.	false
proxyConfiguration	Apify Proxy. Datacenter (the default) works; switch to residential only if a run reports blocks.	Apify datacenter

Example:

{
  "profiles": ["zachking", "https://www.tiktok.com/@khaby.lame"],
  "maxVideosPerProfile": 100,
  "postedAfter": "2026-09-01"
}

A creator's top 20 on TikTok's Popular tab, and the videos they reposted:

{
  "profiles": ["zachking"],
  "maxVideosPerProfile": 20,
  "profileSorting": "popular"
}

{
  "profiles": ["zachking"],
  "profileSections": ["reposts"]
}

Output

Two datasets, profile by profile in your order:

• 🎬 Videos (the default dataset): one row per video, each profile's videos in TikTok's order for profileSorting (by default pinned first, then newest first), then its reposts if you asked for them. Views: 📊 Overview (🖼️ Cover, 🏷️ Username, 👤 Creator, 📝 Caption, 🔗 TikTok, 📌 Pinned, 📢 Ad, ▶️ Plays, ❤️ Likes, 💬 Comments, 🔁 Shares, 📅 Posted), 📈 Stats (🏷️ Username, 🔗 TikTok, ▶️ Plays, ❤️ Likes, 💬 Comments, 🔁 Shares, 🔖 Saves, 🔃 Reposts, 👥 Followers, ⏱️ Duration, 📅 Posted) and 🔎 Details (🖼️ Cover, 🏷️ Username, 🔗 TikTok, ⬇️ Video File, 🤖 AI Label, 💬 Has Captions, 🌐 Caption Language, 📺 Quality, 💾 File Size, ➕ Creator Following, ❤️ Creator Likes, 🎬 Creator Videos, 🎙️ Original Sound).
• 👤 Profiles: one row per profile. View 📊 Overview: 🖼️ Photo, 🏷️ Username, 👤 Name, 📝 Bio, 🔗 TikTok, ✔️ Verified, 👥 Followers, ➕ Following, ❤️ Likes, 🎬 Videos, 📅 Joined, 🌐 Bio Link.

With maxVideosPerProfile: 0 the profile rows are what you get: they go to the default dataset (its 👤 Profiles view shows them; these are the rows you pay for) and, as always, to the 👤 Profiles dataset. A value TikTok didn't send is null (never an empty string or a made-up 0).

Notes:

• A video's own counters are rounded by TikTok on its web pages when they're large (411.7K plays shows as 411700); small numbers are exact. Now and then TikTok sends a video's plays, likes, shares and saves as 0 next to real comments; those come as null.
• Image links expire. cover, photos and avatar are signed by TikTok and stop working about 2 days after the run. Download the images you need soon after the run.
• Private accounts are hidden from logged-out visitors, so they're reported as private in OUTPUT with no rows (also with maxVideosPerProfile: 0), and they cost nothing.

Run summary (OUTPUT)

{
  "results": 210,
  "inputs": [
    {"input": "zachking", "status": "ok", "results": 70, "stopReason": "max_results", "username": "zachking"},
    {"input": "some_private_user", "status": "private", "results": 0, "stopReason": "private", "error": "account is private"}
  ]
}

status per profile: ok, not_found, private, invalid (not a username or profile URL), blocked (TikTok refused it on every retry; the run fails so you notice), stopped (your spending limit was reached). stopReason for ok profiles: max_results, posted_after, posted_before (with oldest), end (no more videos) or profile_only.

Pricing

Pay per result, no start fee and no minimum. Example: 1,000 videos cost $0.29 on the Starter plan.

Your Apify plan	Per 1,000 videos (or profiles in profile-only mode)
Free	$0.35
Starter	$0.29
Scale	$0.25
Business	$0.22

You pay only for rows that reach your dataset. Profile rows that come with a video run are free; in profile-only mode (maxVideosPerProfile: 0) each profile row costs the same as a video. Not-found, private and invalid inputs cost nothing. When your spending limit is reached, the run stops.

A video found under several profiles in one run is one row and one charge: it comes back once, under the first profile that found it, and the run summary counts the repeats for each profile (alreadyDeliveredUnderEarlierInput).

FAQ

Do I need a TikTok account? No. The Actor reads only what TikTok shows logged-out visitors.

How many videos can I get per profile? As many as the profile shows publicly, up to 5,000 per profile per run. In our tests TikTok served every page we asked for (350+ videos from @tiktok).

Can I monitor creators? Yes: schedule a daily run with postedAfter: "2 days" (via the API or a saved task) and dedupe on videoId.

How do I join videos to profiles? Join input on videos to the profile you entered, or authorUsername on a profile's own videos to username on profiles (a repost's authorUsername is the creator who made it).

Can I get a creator's most popular videos? Yes: profileSorting: "popular" reads the profile's Popular tab in TikTok's order: pinned videos first, then mostly the most played, but TikTok doesn't sort it strictly by plays (on @zachking a 1.1B-play video came 22nd). For a strict order, sort the rows on plays. With a date range, Popular reads the whole list to find the videos in it, so it's slower than Latest.
