⚡ Performance Tips

• Memory: 256 MB is sufficient for most runs. Use 512 MB+ for download mode with many videos.
• Speed: ~2-3 seconds per video extraction. Profile/hashtag listing is fast (~1 second).
• Rate Limits: Built-in 1-second delay between requests. Increase timeout if TikTok is slow.
• Download Mode: Video files are stored in Apify Key-Value Store with public download links. Links expire when the store is deleted.

🔧 Technical Notes

• Uses yt-dlp for reliable TikTok data extraction
• Video, profile, download, and music modes work from datacenter IPs
• Hashtag mode returns statistics via TikTok public API (may require residential proxies on some datacenter IPs)
• Video download URLs from yt-dlp expire after 2-4 hours; use download mode for persistent storage

📝 Limitations

• Search: TikTok keyword search is not supported (requires authentication). Use hashtag mode as an alternative.
• Comments: Comment extraction is not supported (TikTok API requires authentication).
• Private profiles: Only public profiles can be scraped.
• Live streams: Not supported.
• Hashtag videos: Hashtag mode returns statistics only (video count, view count). Extracting individual videos from hashtag pages requires residential proxies due to TikTok IP blocking.
• Trending: Trending mode is temporarily unavailable from datacenter IPs. TikTok blocks /explore and /foryou pages. Residential proxy support is planned.
• Some videos: Certain TikTok videos may block specific IP ranges. If extraction fails for a video, try again later or use a different video URL.
