## Pricing

from $5.00 / 1,000 operational query events

This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

#### 1. Are the downloaded MP4 videos completely free of watermarks?

Yes! The API strips all TikTok overlays, moving watermarks, and end-screen logos, delivering clean, original-quality MP4 video streams.

#### 2. Can I extract the audio music track separately as an MP3?

Yes. Every response includes direct CDN links to the isolated MP3 audio track along with song title and artist metadata.

#### 3. Does the API support shortened mobile share links?

Yes. The API automatically follows and resolves shortened links (e.g. 'vm.tiktok.com/...' and 'vt.tiktok.com/...') to their canonical video endpoints.

#### 4. What resolutions are supported for video downloads?

Depending on the original creator upload, the API extracts up to 1080p Full HD (minimum 720p) with no quality compression.

#### 5. How fast are downloads and extraction requests?

Average response latency is ~200ms – 400ms, returning direct high-speed CDN URLs hosted directly on TikTok's edge infrastructure.

#### 6. Do I need TikTok session cookies or user login tokens?

No. The API handles all token exchange, session rotation, and anti-bot verification transparently with zero account requirements.

#### 7. How does Pay-Per-Event (PPE) pricing work?

Free users pay $0.10 per run. Paid Apify subscribers pay $0.005 per query ($5.00 per 1,000 video extractions). Platform compute is billed directly to the user account with no developer markup.

#### 8. Can I run batch download tasks for multiple videos?

Yes! You can trigger concurrent Actor runs or batches via the Apify API or integrate with n8n/Make to process dozens of links simultaneously.

#### 9. How are results saved in Apify?

Each run saves direct CDN video links, audio MP3 URLs, author stats, and cover art directly into your Apify Dataset and Key-Value store.

#### 10. How are expired or private video links handled?

If a video is private or deleted, the API returns a clean HTTP 400 with a detailed error code, preventing pipeline stalls.

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
