## What's an Apify Actor?
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
## Actor mẫu — Free token pool + actor Store
Gọi **bất kỳ actor free** trên Apify Store; **token** lấy từ Google Doc (xoay khi hết quota). Form **Input** clone từ actor gốc — **không sửa code** khi đổi actor.
Chi tiết nhân bản: **[CLONE.md](./CLONE.md)**
### Nhân bản nhanh
```bash
## 1 lần
apify secrets add GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT '{"type":"service_account",...}'
apify login
## Mỗi actor Store mới — chỉ 1 lệnh (+ apify push)
npm run setup -- clockworks~tiktok-comments-scraper
apify push
````
Sửa tay tối thiểu: `template.config.json` → `targetActorId`.
### Cách hoạt động
```
Input (form clone từ Store) → Actor proxy → API + token từ Google Doc → Actor Store → Dataset
```
- Token: Google Doc `KEY`, mỗi dòng `apify_api_...`
- Hết free: thử dòng tiếp theo
- Config: `template.config.json` + secret `GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT`
### File quan trọng
| File | Khi clone |
|------|-----------|
| `template.config.json` | Đổi `targetActorId` |
| `npm run setup -- user~actor` | Tự cập nhật input schema + actor.json |
| `src/*` | **Không sửa** |
| Google Doc | Thêm/bớt token (không push) |
### Test local
`input.json` — field theo actor vừa `setup` (xem `.actor/input_schema.json`).
```bash
set GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT={"type":"service_account",...}
npm start
```
# Actor input Schema
## `profiles` (type: `array`):
Add one or multiple TikTok usernames or user IDs you want to scrape. You can enter the usernames one by one, or use the Bulk edit section to add a prepared list.
## `profileScrapeSections` (type: `array`):
If a profile has reposted videos, you can scrape them by selecting 'Reposts' Allowed values: videos (Videos), reposts (Reposts).
## `profileSorting` (type: `string`):
Select Latest to scrape the most recent videos first, Oldest - the oldest videos first, Popular - the most popular videos first. Date filters only work with Latest and Oldest. Only supported for Videos section
## `resultsPerPage` (type: `integer`):
The number of posts that will be scraped from every profile.
## `oldestPostDateUnified` (type: `string`):
Optional filter. Only videos uploaded after or on this date will be scraped. Alternatively, specify how old the scraped videos should be in days. Putting 1 will get you only today's posts, 2 - yesterday's and today's, and so on.
## `newestPostDate` (type: `string`):
Optional filter. Only videos uploaded before or on this date will be scraped.
## `mostDiggs` (type: `integer`):
Scrapes only videos with less hearts than the number you add. Doesn't work with date filters
## `leastDiggs` (type: `integer`):
Scrapes only videos with no less hearts than the number you add. Doesn't work with date filters
## `maxFollowersPerProfile` (type: `integer`):
Optional charged filter. Scrapes only profiles with less followers than the number you add.
## `maxFollowingPerProfile` (type: `integer`):
Optional charged filter. Scrapes only profiles with less following profiles than the number you add.
## `excludePinnedPosts` (type: `boolean`):
Tick to exclude pinned posts from profiles. Pinned posts are usually the first videos on a profile's page.
## `shouldDownloadVideos` (type: `boolean`):
Tick to download TikTok videos. Note that this will increase time and costs needed to extract the data.
## `shouldDownloadCovers` (type: `boolean`):
Tick to download TikTok video cover images (thumbnails). Note that this will increase time and costs needed to extract the data.
## `downloadSubtitlesOptions` (type: `string`):
Choose how to handle subtitles and audio transcription for input videos. Subtitles are provided by TikTok for some videos, and transcription means that this Actor will use speech-to-text AI to generate video transcript. Transcripts are charged as an extra event according to your plan.
## `shouldDownloadSlideshowImages` (type: `boolean`):
Tick to download TikTok slideshow images. Note that this will increase costs and time required for scraping.
## `shouldDownloadAvatars` (type: `boolean`):
Tick to download authors' profile pictures. Note that this will increase time and costs needed to extract the data.
## `videoKvStoreIdOrName` (type: `string`):
Name (or ID) of the Key Value Store where the videos and other media like thumbnails will be stored. Omit to store in the default one. Using this option will provide a named Key-Value store can help bypass data retention and store the content forever until the store is manually deleted.
The Key-Value store's name can consist of a versatile combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, or hyphens, all without any spaces.

run_input = {}
# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("emt_getdataforu/tiktok-profile-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)
# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
