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 List Scraper Scrape video lists from TikTok user profiles. Collects comprehensive metadata for each video including description, view counts, likes, comments, shares, duration, thumbnail, music info, and more. ### ✨ Features - **User Profile Scraping** — Provide TikTok profile URLs to collect all published videos - **Comprehensive Metadata** — View count, likes, comments, shares, saves, duration, creation time - **Music & Author Info** — Track title, artist name, author username and ID - **Pagination Support** — Automatically paginates through all user videos - **Configurable Limits** — Set max results per profile (or unlimited) - **No Proxy Needed** — Works from datacenter IPs without residential proxies ### 🔧 How It Works 1. Fetches the TikTok user profile page to extract the user's `secUid` 2. Calls TikTok's internal API to retrieve the video list with cursor-based pagination 3. Extracts and normalizes video metadata into a flat, clean structure 4. Pushes results to the Apify dataset sorted by creation time (newest first) ### 📥 Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `profiles` | Array of URLs | TikTok user profile URLs (e.g., `https://www.tiktok.com/@username`) | | `max_results` | Integer | Maximum videos per profile. `0` = unlimited. Default: `50` | | `request_timeout` | Integer | HTTP timeout in seconds. Default: `30` | ### 📤 Sample Output ```json { "id": "7613428831285808402", "desc": "Cat does something adorable 🐱", "createTime": "2025-09-15T08:30:00Z", "createTimestamp": 1726389000, "duration": 15, "playCount": 1250000, "diggCount": 98000, "commentCount": 1200, "shareCount": 5600, "collectCount": 3400, "thumbnail": "https://p16-sign-sg.tiktokcdn.com/...", "webpage_url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@meowtakeover/video/7613428831285808402", "music": { "title": "Original Sound", "authorName": "meowtakeover" }, "author": { "uniqueId": "meowtakeover", "id": "123456789", "secUid": "MS4wLjAB..." }, "fetched_at": "2026-03-22T12:00:00Z" } ```` ### ⚠️ Notes - **Rate Limiting**: The Actor includes built-in delays between requests to avoid being rate-limited by TikTok - **Private Profiles**: Only public profiles can be scraped. Private accounts will return no results - **Memory**: 256 MB is sufficient for most use cases. Increase to 512 MB for very large profiles (10,000+ videos) - **Video Content**: This Actor collects video **metadata** (not the actual video files). For downloading videos, use our [TikTok Videos Watermark-Free Scraper](https://apify.com/gentle_cloud/tiktok-videos-scraper) # Actor input Schema ## `profiles` (type: `array`): List of TikTok user profile URLs to scrape videos from. Example: https://www.tiktok.com/@username ## `max_results` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of videos to collect per profile. Set to 0 for unlimited. ## `request_timeout` (type: `integer`): HTTP request timeout in seconds. ## Actor input object example ```json { "profiles": [ { "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@meowtakeover" } ], "max_results": 50, "request_timeout": 30 } ``` # 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 = { "profiles": [ { "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@meowtakeover" } ], "max_results": 50, "request_timeout": 30 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("gentle_cloud/tiktok-video-list-scraper").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 📖?
