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 Creator Videos Scraper Enter one or more TikTok creator usernames and get **every public video** from each profile, with full metadata and engagement stats. --- ### 中文说明 输入一个或多个 TikTok 达人用户名，抓取每位达人的**全部公开视频**，含完整元数据和互动指标。 **输入参数** | 字段 | 类型 | 说明 | |------|------|------| | `creators` | 数组（必填） | 达人用户名（可带或不带 `@`）或主页链接，每行一个 | | `maxVideos` | 整数 | 每个达人最多抓取的视频数；`0` = 全部 | | `proxyConfiguration` | 对象 | 代理设置，**强烈建议用住宅代理（RESIDENTIAL）** | **输出（Output schema）** 每条记录对应一个视频，主要字段： | 字段 | 说明 | |------|------| | `id` / `url` | 视频 ID / 链接 | | `text` | 文案 | | `createTime` / `createTimeUnix` | 发布时间（ISO / 时间戳） | | `durationSeconds` | 时长（秒） | | `cover` / `dynamicCover` | 静态 / 动态封面 | | `width` / `height` | 分辨率 | | `playCount` | 播放量 | | `diggCount` | 点赞 | | `commentCount` / `shareCount` / `collectCount` | 评论 / 分享 / 收藏 | | `hashtags` | 话题标签数组 | | `music` | 音乐：`{ id, title, authorName, isOriginal }` | | `isPinned` | 是否置顶 | | `authorUsername` / `authorNickname` / `authorId` / `authorVerified` | 达人信息 | 控制台 **Output** 标签会以带封面缩略图的表格呈现以上结果。 **工作原理**：用真实浏览器打开达人主页，先读取服务端渲染的视频数据；再调用 TikTok 自身的 `item_list` 接口翻页——用页面内置的签名函数 `byted_acrawler.frontierSign` 对每次请求重新签名（`X-Bogus`），跟随 `cursor` 翻到底，从而拿到达人**全部**公开视频，不依赖任何第三方 actor。 **注意**：只能抓取公开视频；返回数量可能略少于主页显示的总数（差额为私密/地区限制/已删除）。请务必使用住宅代理。 --- ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `creators` | array (required) | Usernames (with or without `@`) or full profile URLs. | | `maxVideos` | integer | Max videos per creator. `0` = all available. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings. **Residential proxies recommended.** | ```json { "creators": ["mrbeast", "@khaby.lame", "https://www.tiktok.com/@zachking"], "maxVideos": 0, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ```` ### Output One dataset record per video: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `id`, `url` | Video ID and canonical URL | | `text` | Caption / description | | `createTime`, `createTimeUnix` | Publish time (ISO + epoch) | | `durationSeconds` | Video length | | `cover`, `dynamicCover` | Thumbnail images | | `width`, `height` | Resolution | | `playCount` | Views | | `diggCount` | Likes | | `commentCount`, `shareCount`, `collectCount` | Engagement | | `hashtags` | Array of hashtag titles | | `music` | `{ id, title, authorName, isOriginal }` | | `isPinned` | Whether the video is pinned on the profile | | `authorUsername`, `authorNickname`, `authorId`, `authorVerified` | Creator info | #### Example record ```json { "id": "7300000000000000000", "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@zachking/video/7300000000000000000", "text": "Magic trick #magic", "createTime": "2024-11-01T12:00:00.000Z", "durationSeconds": 12, "playCount": 12000000, "diggCount": 800000, "commentCount": 5400, "shareCount": 22000, "hashtags": ["magic"], "music": { "id": "...", "title": "original sound", "authorName": "zachking", "isOriginal": true }, "isPinned": false, "authorUsername": "zachking", "authorVerified": true } ``` ### How it works The actor opens each profile in a real Chromium browser (via Crawlee's `PlaywrightCrawler`) and reads the server-rendered video data. To page through the creator's **entire** back-catalog it calls TikTok's `item_list` API directly: 1. It captures the exact `item_list` request the page issues itself (which carries TikTok's full expected parameter set). 2. For each subsequent page it swaps the `cursor` on that template and **re-signs the request with TikTok's own in-page signer** (`window.byted_acrawler.frontierSign`, producing the required `X-Bogus`), then fetches from inside the page so the request carries the page's cookies (`msToken`). 3. It follows the server-provided `cursor` until `hasMore` is false. This is fully self-contained — no dependency on any third-party actor — and reliably returns every public video, not just the most recent batch. Browser fingerprinting plus residential proxies keep block rates low. ### Notes - Only **public** profiles/videos are accessible. The returned count may be slightly below the profile's stated total — the difference is private, region-locked, or deleted posts. - Always run with **RESIDENTIAL** proxies (the input default); datacenter IPs are blocked. - TikTok rotates its request-signing internals periodically. If a run ever returns zero, the signer hook in `src/main.js` (`frontierSign`) is the place to update. # Actor input Schema ## `creators` (type: `array`): TikTok 达人用户名（可带或不带 @）或主页链接，每行一个。TikTok creator usernames (with or without @) or full profile URLs, one per line. ## `maxVideos` (type: `integer`): 每个达人最多抓取的视频数；填 0 表示抓取全部。Maximum number of videos to scrape per creator. Set 0 to scrape all available videos. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): 强烈建议使用住宅代理（RESIDENTIAL）——TikTok 会封锁机房 IP。Residential proxies are strongly recommended; TikTok blocks datacenter IPs. ## Actor input object example ```json { "creators": [ "charlidamelio", "@khaby.lame", "https://www.tiktok.com/@zachking" ], "maxVideos": 0, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
