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 Scraper — Hashtags & Profiles Scrape **TikTok** videos by hashtag or user profile — no login, no API key required.

This actor uses US residential proxies to maximize result coverage. - Some accounts and hashtags may have restricted visibility depending on TikTok's policies. - Results may vary based on TikTok's anti-bot protection. The actor uses a stealth Chromium browser to maximize success rate. # Actor input Schema ## `searchType` (type: `string`): What to scrape: hashtag videos or profile videos ## `query` (type: `string`): What to scrape: - Hashtag: e.g. 'digitalmarketing' (without #) - Profile: e.g. 'garyvee' (without @) ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of videos to scrape (default: 50) ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchType": "hashtag", "query": "digitalmarketing", "maxItems": 30 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `overview` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
