## Pricing

from $1.50 / 1,000 videos

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## Douyin Profile Videos Scraper – Cheap & No Login

Scrape videos and image posts from public Douyin (抖音) profiles: captions, hashtags, likes, comments, shares, saves, durations, music, video and image URLs. No login or cookies. Pay only per video.

**Why this scraper**

- 💸 **From $1.50 / 1,000 videos** — priced per result, not per page.
- 🎯 **Pay only for what you get**: unavailable profiles cost a small flat fee; set a maximum cost per run and the scraper stops right there.
- 🧾 **Clean, consistent fields** across runs, ready for spreadsheets and pipelines.
- ⚡ **No browser, no login**: lightweight requests, starts in seconds, runs on 256 MB.

### What data you get

| Field | Example / meaning |
|---|---|
| `url`, `id`, `mediaType` | `https://www.douyin.com/video/7520189033478114594`, `video` or `images` |
| `text`, `hashtags` | caption and parsed #topics |
| `diggCount`, `commentCount`, `shareCount`, `collectCount` | likes, comments, shares, saves |
| `playCount` | real play count with **Include play counts** on (paid add-on), otherwise `null` |
| `createTimeISO`, `isPinned` | publish time, pinned to the profile |
| `duration`, `coverUrl`, `videoUrl`, `images` | seconds, cover image, video file, image-post slides |
| `author` | nickname, Douyin ID, sec_uid, verification |
| `music` | track title, artist, audio URL |

### How to use

1. Add Douyin profile links (from the app's share button or the web) or <code>sec_uid</code> values.
2. Set **Max videos per profile** (default 20, minimum 10).
3. Need views? Turn on **Include play counts**.
4. Optional: **Only posts newer than** and **Skip pinned posts**.
5. Run and export as JSON, CSV, Excel, or pull via API.

A run summary (per-profile status, counts) is saved to the `OUTPUT` record of the run's key-value store.

### Pricing

Pay per event — you are charged only for results delivered:

| Event | Free plan | Starter | Scale | Business+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Video | $3.00 / 1,000 | $2.00 / 1,000 | $1.80 / 1,000 | **$1.50 / 1,000** |
| Filtered video | $0.50 / 1,000 | $0.30 / 1,000 | $0.30 / 1,000 | **$0.30 / 1,000** |
| Add-on: play count | $1.00 / 1,000 | $0.80 / 1,000 | $0.80 / 1,000 | **$0.70 / 1,000** |
| Unavailable or empty target | $0.0020 each | | | |
| Actor start | $0.0005 per run | | | |

Set **Maximum cost per run** in the run options to cap spend — the scraper stops before exceeding it.

### FAQ

**Are play counts included?** Yes, as an option. Douyin hides play counts in its feeds (most Douyin scrapers return `0`). Turn on **Include play counts** and each video gets its real count from a separate statistics lookup, billed as a small add-on per video. Off, `playCount` is `null`.

**Do share links work?** Yes: `https://v.douyin.com/…` links are resolved automatically.

**What if a profile is private or empty?** It is listed in the run's `OUTPUT` record and billed the small flat unavailable-profile fee.

**Do I need an account or cookies?** No. Only publicly visible Douyin data is collected, without logging in.

### Data & privacy

Only publicly visible data is collected. To bill correctly and keep the scraper healthy, each run reports its input (the profiles and options you entered), result counts, charges and upstream request counts to FeedPull's own monitoring, tied to a pseudonymous id of your Apify account. Scraped results go only to your dataset. Inputs and per-target details are deleted after 90 days; only aggregate counts are kept.
