Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## TikTok Video Scraper Get **full TikTok video data** from video links — plays, likes, comments, shares, saves, author profile, music, hashtags, mentions, duration, and exact posting time — as JSON, CSV, or Excel. No login, no cookies, no browser. Paste video URLs (or short links, or bare video IDs) and get structured records back. **Pay per result** — you're charged per video delivered. Removed or private videos are reported and **not charged**. --- ### What can I use it for? - **Campaign & influencer tracking** — monitor the exact play/like/comment/share/save counts of sponsored posts over time. - **Competitor analysis** — measure which of a competitor's videos actually perform, and what sounds and hashtags they ride. - **Trend research** — engagement ratios (saves-to-plays, shares-to-plays) are the virality signals; get them as numbers, not screenshots. - **Social listening & AI** — descriptions, hashtags, and engagement in a stable schema, ready for dashboards or models. - **UGC rights & attribution** — resolve any short link to its canonical video, author, and music credit. --- ### Input | Field | Required | Description | |-------|----------|-------------| | **Video URLs or IDs** | ✔ | Any mix of full links (`https://www.tiktok.com/@user/video/123…`), short links (`vm.tiktok.com/…`, `vt.tiktok.com/…`), or bare numeric video IDs. Each video is one billable result. | | **Proxy configuration** | – | **Automatic by default:** datacenter proxy first, escalating to RESIDENTIAL only if TikTok blocks it — you don't pay residential rates unless it's actually needed. | ### Output One record per video: ```json { "videoId": "7650013911164488991", "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@nba/video/7650013911164488991", "description": "🏆 Knicks mount the largest comeback in NBA Finals History…", "createTime": "2026-06-18T02:11:40+00:00", "playCount": 27000000, "likeCount": 1900000, "commentCount": 8049, "shareCount": 70900, "saveCount": 86021, "authorHandle": "nba", "authorName": "NBA", "authorVerified": true, "authorFollowerCount": 27100000, "authorTotalLikes": 1100000000, "authorVideoCount": 22900, "musicTitle": "original sound", "musicIsOriginal": true, "hashtags": ["nbafinals", "nba", "basketball", "knicks"], "mentions": [], "durationSeconds": 133, "coverUrl": "https://p16-sign.tiktokcdn-us.com/…", "categories": ["Sports News", "Sports"], "language": "en", "countryCreated": "US", "isAd": false, "isPinned": false, "isAiGenerated": false, "duetEnabled": true, "stitchEnabled": false } ```` All five engagement counters (including **saves**, which most tools skip) come as real integers — no "27M" strings to parse. Every video also carries its author's **follower count, total likes, and video count** (free influencer context, no extra request), TikTok's own **content categories**, and an **AI-generated-content flag**. ### Reliability - **Fail-loud contract** — a changed TikTok page format raises a loud error instead of silently delivering hollow records. - **Dead videos handled per-item** — a removed, private, or region-locked video is reported with the exact reason (and not charged) while the rest of the batch continues. - **Tiered proxy** — datacenter first, automatic escalation to residential only when blocked. - **Resumable** — if a run is aborted or capped, resurrect it: already-delivered videos are never re-scraped or re-charged. ### Usage from code ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("") run = client.actor("electrabot.info/tiktok-video-scraper").call( run_input={"videoUrls": [ "https://www.tiktok.com/@nba/video/7650013911164488991", "https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMabcdef/", ]} ) for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(item["authorHandle"], item["playCount"], item["hashtags"]) ``` ### FAQ **Why did one of my videos fail?** TikTok reports removed, private, and region-locked videos with a status code; we surface the exact reason per video in the run's `SUMMARY` and don't charge for it. The rest of the batch continues. **Do you download the video files?** No — this actor delivers the video's *data* (stats, author, music, hashtags), not the media file. **Can it scrape a whole profile or hashtag?** This actor is deliberately focused on video URLs — that's what keeps it fast and cheap. Tell us in the Issues tab if you'd use a profile scraper. **Is scraping TikTok legal?** This actor accesses only publicly available video pages. You are responsible for complying with applicable laws and TikTok's Terms of Service. *** ### Disclaimer **This is an unofficial tool.
