Output

Each video produces a dataset item with the following structure:

{
    "videoUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@user/video/123",
    "videoId": "1234567890",
    "directUrl": "https://v16-webapp.tiktok.com/...",
    "title": "Video description text",
    "author": "Creator Name",
    "authorId": "123456789",
    "Cover": "https://p16-sign.tiktok.com/...",
    "duration": 15,
    "viewCount": 100000,
    "likeCount": 5000,
    "shareCount": 200,
    "commentCount": 150,
    "width": 576,
    "height": 1024,
    "quality": "540p",
    "fileSize": "1234567",
    "extractedAt": "2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z",
    "download": {
        "available": true,
        "url": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/.../records/...",
        "format": "mp4",
        "status": "completed",
        "fileSizeHuman": "1.5 MB"
    },
    "processingTime": 2500,
    "success": true
}

Dataset Views

The Actor provides four pre-configured dataset views:

1. Overview - Quick summary with video ID, title, author, and status
2. Statistics - Engagement metrics (views, likes, shares, comments)
3. Downloads - Download links and file information
4. Errors - Failed extractions with error details

State Persistence & Resumability

This Actor supports resumable runs. If a run is interrupted (migration, timeout, abort), it will automatically resume from where it left off on the next run with the same input.

State is automatically saved:

• Every 3 processed videos
• On Actor migration events
• On Actor abort events
• Before Actor exit

To disable state persistence, set enableStatePersistence: false in input.

Proxy Configuration

For better success rates, especially with high-volume extractions:

{
    "proxyConfig": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
        "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
    }
}

Error Handling

The Actor implements intelligent retry logic:

Error Type	Retryable	Behavior
Network timeout	✅	Exponential backoff
Rate limiting (429)	✅	Extended backoff
Server errors (5xx)	✅	Standard backoff
Video not found (404)	❌	Immediate fail
Private/restricted video	❌	Immediate fail
Invalid URL	❌	Immediate fail

Run Summary

After completion, a summary is saved to the Key-Value Store under the key RUN_SUMMARY:

{
    "total": 10,
    "processed": 10,
    "successful": 9,
    "failed": 1,
    "skipped": 0,
    "retried": 2,
    "downloads": {
        "enabled": true,
        "successful": 9,
        "failed": 0
    },
    "resumed": false,
    "completedAt": "2024-01-15T10:35:00.000Z"
}

Limitations

• TikTok direct URLs may expire (use downloadVideo: true for persistent links)
• Some region-restricted videos may not be accessible
