$0.29 per 1,000 videos on the Starter plan ($0.35 Free, $0.25 Scale, $0.22 Business). The prefilled run (3 videos) costs under $0.01.

Why this one

• Any link works. Full URLs, photo post URLs, vm.tiktok.com / vt.tiktok.com short links from the share button, or bare IDs.
• Creator size on every row. The creator's follower count and verified badge come with each video.
• Where it was posted from. country is the country TikTok records for the post.
• Photo posts included. Slideshows come back with every image URL.
• Honest per-link status. Every run saves a summary (OUTPUT) with each link's status: ok, not_found (deleted or never existed), invalid or blocked. Deleted videos cost nothing. If TikTok refuses a link on every retry, the run is marked failed instead of quietly returning less.
• Fast and light. Plain HTTP, no browser: 50 videos in 10-25 s, the first row 3-8 s after the start (five test runs, October 2026).

Notes:

• TikTok rounds large counters on its web pages (67.3M plays shows as 67300000); 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 and photos are signed by TikTok and stop working about 2 days after the run. Download the images you need soon after the run.
• The same video given twice (as a URL and as an ID, or as a URL and a short link) comes back, and is charged, once.
• country and topics come from the video's page. If TikTok refuses the page on every retry, the row comes from TikTok's video API instead, which has everything else but not those two (null).

FAQ

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

Can I track a video's stats over time? Yes: schedule a run with the same links (daily or hourly) and compare plays, likes and the rest across runs by videoId.

Can I download the video file? Yes: videoFileUrl is a direct link to the MP4 in the best quality TikTok serves, and it opens from any computer with no login (tested from two other networks than the one that collected it). Download it before videoFileExpiresAt, about 2 days after the run.

Comments? Not in this Actor.
