What is the TikTok Scraper?

The TikTok Scraper is an all-in-one TikTok data extractor that turns any username, hashtag, video URL or keyword into structured JSON. Unlike single-purpose scrapers, it covers five modes in one actor — profiles, videos, hashtags, search and trending — so you don't wire up (and pay for) five separate tools.

Profiles and videos run over pure HTTP with Chrome-TLS fingerprinting; hashtags and trending use a real-browser signature engine that talks directly to TikTok's own API. Both run on Apify datacenter IPs with no residential proxy and no login, which keeps runs fast and reliable. Built for growth marketers, agencies, researchers and developers who need TikTok data at scale without maintaining anti-bot infrastructure.

Use cases

• Influencer discovery: Pull follower counts, likes, bio links and verified status for thousands of @usernames to shortlist creators.
• Hashtag & trend research: Track videos under #hashtag or the TikTok trending feed to spot rising formats and sounds early.
• Competitive intelligence: Monitor a competitor's TikTok profile stats and content cadence on a schedule.
• Market & product research: Scrape TikTok videos around a product keyword to gauge demand and creator interest.
• Content analytics: Export views, likes, comments, shares, bookmarks and music metadata to build TikTok dashboards in Sheets or BI tools.

What you can scrape

Mode	Input	What you get	Proxy/cookies
profiles	@username	Followers, bio, likes, video count, avatar, verified, secUid	None — pure HTTP
videos	Video URL	Full video metadata + optional comments	None — pure HTTP

Input

Provide a mode and a list of inputs. Full reference is in the input schema. Minimal example:

{
  "mode": "profiles",
  "inputs": ["@charlidamelio", "@khaby.lame"]
}

Scrape a hashtag or the trending feed (no cookies needed):

{
  "mode": "hashtags",
  "inputs": ["#fitness", "#cooking"],
  "maxResultsPerInput": 30
}

Field	Type	Default	Description
mode	string	profiles	profiles, videos, hashtags, search, trending
inputs	array	—	Usernames, URLs, hashtag names, or keywords
maxResultsPerInput	integer	20	Max results per input (1–500)
includeComments	boolean	false	Fetch top comments for each video
commentsPerVideo	integer	20	Comments per video (1–100)
includeTranscript	boolean	false	Add a text transcript per video (free TikTok captions, Whisper fallback)
postsFrom	string	""	Keep only videos published on/after this date (YYYY-MM-DD)
postsTo	string	""	Keep only videos published on/before this date (YYYY-MM-DD)
sessionCookies	array	[]	TikTok cookies — required to unlock search
proxyConfig	object	datacenter	Residential is optional; datacenter is the default

Session cookies (only needed for search)

TikTok guards keyword search behind a verify-captcha for anonymous sessions, so search requires TikTok session cookies. Profiles, videos, hashtags and trending all work without cookies.

1. Open TikTok in Chrome → DevTools (F12) → Application → Cookies → tiktok.com
2. Copy sessionid, ttwid, s_v_web_id, msToken, odin_tt
3. Paste in the sessionCookies field:

[
  { "name": "sessionid",  "value": "abc123..." },
  { "name": "ttwid",      "value": "1|xyz..." },
  { "name": "msToken",    "value": "Pzfj..." }
]

Output

Every record has a type field: profile, video, hashtag, or comment. Video example (most-used fields):

{
  "type": "video",
  "video_id": "7123456789012345678",
  "video_url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@username/video/7123456789012345678",
  "description": "Caption text #hashtag #fyp",
  "published_at": "2026-03-29",
  "author_username": "username",
  "author_followers": 125000,
  "plays": 2400000,
  "likes": 180000,
  "comments": 3200,
  "shares": 8900,
  "bookmarks": 12000,
  "engagement_rate": 0.107,
  "virality_score": 75,
  "is_viral": true,
  "music_title": "original sound",
  "hashtags": ["decathlon", "sport", "fyp"]
}

Every video also carries a free virality signal: engagement_rate (total engagement ÷ views), a 0–100 virality_score, and an is_viral flag — so you can sort and filter creators by performance, not just raw counts.

Profile example (with lead-gen contact extraction):

{
  "type": "profile",
  "username": "khaby.lame",
  "nickname": "Khabane lame",
  "verified": true,
  "followers": 162261878,
  "following": 80,
  "likes": 2635847991,
  "videos_count": 1335,
  "emails": ["business@example.com"],
  "bio_links": ["https://linktr.ee/creator"],
  "sec_uid": "MS4wLjABAAAA..."
}

Pricing

This actor uses PAY_PER_EVENT: $0.008 per result ($8 per 1,000 results), plus a tiny per-run start fee. You're charged only for results actually scraped — no charge for failed runs. Compute runs at 512 MB on datacenter, so there's no residential-proxy surcharge on the four cookie-free modes.

Automate & schedule

Schedule the TikTok Scraper to run daily or weekly for fresh creator stats and trend data, or wire it to Google Sheets, Slack, a webhook or your CRM via Apify integrations, Make, Zapier and n8n. Recurring runs keep your TikTok dataset current — set it once and forget it. To call it from n8n or code, POST to https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/dltik~tiktok-scraper/runs and fetch the dataset items when the run finishes.

FAQ

Is there an official TikTok API, and is it free? TikTok's official API is limited, approval-gated and doesn't expose most public data. The TikTok Scraper needs no account or API key for profiles, videos, hashtags and trending.

Can I scrape TikTok without a proxy? Yes. Four of the five modes run on Apify datacenter IPs with no proxy and no cookies. Only keyword search needs cookies because TikTok gates it behind a captcha.

Why does search require cookies? TikTok shows a verify-captcha to anonymous sessions on /search (even on residential IPs). Providing a logged-in sessionid cookie bypasses that wall. Profiles, hashtags and trending are public feeds and don't hit it.

Does it return a user's video list? Profile mode returns full profile metadata (followers, likes, bio, secUid). For a creator's individual videos, use hashtags/search/trending or the videos mode on specific URLs.

What are the best alternatives to the official TikTok API? Actor-based scrapers like this one are the common alternative — no OAuth, no quota approval, structured JSON, and CSV/Excel export from Apify.
