# TikTok Video Metrics (`exaktadev/tiktok-video-metrics`) Actor Returns engagement metrics (views, likes, comments, shares, saves, reposts) plus author, music and video metadata for any public TikTok video URL. - **URL**: https://apify.com/exaktadev/tiktok-video-metrics.md - **Developed by:** [Exakta Plus](https://apify.com/exaktadev) (community) - **Categories:** Social media, Automation, Videos - **Stats:** 1 total users, 0 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing Pay per usage This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

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 Metrics Apify Actor that returns full engagement metrics for any **public TikTok video URL** — no login required. ### What you get ```json { "found": true, "videoId": "7651786089237138709", "username": "dienisolita", "metrics": { "playCount": 2767, "diggCount": 411, "commentCount": 6, "shareCount": 23, "collectCount": 31, "repostCount": 0 }, "author": { "uniqueId": "dienisolita", "followerCount": 1200000, "heartCount": 28900000, "videoCount": 509 }, "music": { "title": "som original", "authorName": "ruan", "original": true }, "video": { "durationSec": 12, "width": 576, "height": 1024 }, "createdAt": "2026-06-16T00:38:12.000Z" } ```` `playCount` = views, `diggCount` = likes, `collectCount` = saves, `repostCount` = reposts. ### How it works 1. **Cookie priming** — visits `tiktok.com` to obtain the `ttwid` cookie that gets past the WAF. 2. Fetches the video page with that cookie + realistic browser headers. 3. Parses the embedded `__UNIVERSAL_DATA_FOR_REHYDRATION__` JSON (`webapp.video-detail`). The signed mobile API (`aweme/v1/feed`) is not used (it needs X-Gorgon/X-Argus signing). ### Usage #### Standby mode (HTTP API — recommended) ``` GET https://.apify.actor/?url=https://www.tiktok.com/@user/video/123 GET https://.apify.actor/?urls=, ``` Returns the metrics JSON directly. Single URL → object; multiple → array. #### Batch run (input) ```json { "urls": ["https://www.tiktok.com/@user/video/123"] } ``` Results are pushed to the default dataset. ### Notes - Depends on TikTok's internal page JSON, which can change without notice. `found: false` with a `reason` is returned on WAF block / private / removed videos. - From datacenter IPs the WAF is more aggressive — use Apify proxy (residential) if you see frequent `found: false`. ### Local development ```bash npm install npm test # parser unit tests npm start # runs the Actor locally (tsx) ``` # Actor input Schema ## `urls` (type: `array`): List of public TikTok video URLs to fetch metrics for. Used in batch (normal) runs. In Standby mode, pass URLs via the ?url= / ?urls= query string instead. ## Actor input object example ```json { "urls": [ "https://www.tiktok.com/@dienisolita/video/7651786089237138709" ] } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "urls": [ "https://www.tiktok.com/@dienisolita/video/7651786089237138709" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("exaktadev/tiktok-video-metrics").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
