## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

### What is TikTok Profile Scraper?

TikTok Profile Scraper extracts **complete profile data** from TikTok accounts — exact follower counts, engagement stats, verified badge, category, cross-platform links — and optionally all their posted videos with download URLs.

Every number is an exact integer. No "160M" approximations — you get `160560832`.

#### Profile data points (23 fields)

| Field | Description | Example |
|-------|-------------|---------|
| `uid` | Numeric user ID | `127905465618821121` |
| `uniqueId` | TikTok handle | `khaby.lame` |
| `secUid` | Secure user ID | `MS4wLjABAAAA...` |
| `nickname` | Display name | `Khabane lame` |
| `signature` | Bio text | `If u wanna laugh...` |
| `avatarUrl` | Profile picture URL | `https://p16-common-sign...` |
| `profileUrl` | Full profile URL | `https://www.tiktok.com/@khaby.lame` |
| `followerCount` | Exact followers | `160560832` |
| `followingCount` | Following count | `85` |
| `totalFavorited` | Total likes received | `2578623240` |
| `awemeCount` | Number of videos | `1315` |
| `favoritingCount` | Liked videos count | `0` |
| `verified` | Verified creator | `true` |
| `category` | Creator category | `Public Figure` |
| `privateAccount` | Private profile | `false` |
| `region` | Most frequent video region | `US` |
| `language` | App language | `vi` |
| `accountCreatedAtIso` | Account creation date | `2025-08-22T02:33:37.000Z` |
| `insId` | Instagram handle | `khaby00` |
| `twitterId` | Twitter handle | |
| `youtubeChannelId` | YouTube channel ID | |
| `scrapeTimestamp` | When scraped | `2026-04-04T12:00:00.000Z` |

#### Video data points (61 fields per row when Include Videos is on)

Each video row includes 40 video fields plus 21 embedded profile fields — all in one flat row for easy CSV export. Download URLs (with and without watermark) are included at no extra cost.

### Why use this scraper?

#### Profile data without buying videos

Other scrapers force you to buy video results just to see profile stats. We give you standalone profile data — follower counts, bio, verified status, category — without scraping a single video.

#### Exact numbers, not approximations

Follower counts are exact integers (`160560832`, not `160.6M`). Total likes are exact (`2578623240`, not `2.6B`). No integer overflow bugs on large accounts.

#### Fields you won't find elsewhere

- **`category`** — "Public Figure", "Entertainment", etc. Most scrapers don't include this.
- **`insId`**, **`twitterId`**, **`youtubeChannelId`** — cross-platform links in one call.
- **`secUid`** — needed for advanced API integrations. Most scrapers omit this.
- **`accountCreatedAtIso`** — when the account was created. Not available in most scrapers.
- **`language`** — the user's app language.

#### Videos included on demand

Toggle "Include Videos" to get all posted videos with exact engagement stats and download URLs. Profile data is embedded in every video row — no need for a separate lookup.

### Use cases

- **Influencer discovery** — search profiles by follower count, category, and engagement rate
- **Competitive analysis** — compare follower growth and content output across creators
- **Lead generation** — extract contact info (bio links, cross-platform handles) for outreach
- **Content audit** — analyze a creator's entire video catalog with engagement metrics
- **Brand safety** — check verified status, category, and content themes before partnerships

### How much does it cost?

**Profile** — charged per dataset row (always):

| Plan | Price per 1,000 | Price per item |
|------|----------------|----------------|
| Free | $6.00 | $0.006 |
| Starter | $3.75 | $0.00375 |
| Scale | $3.50 | $0.0035 |
| Business | $3.00 | $0.003 |

**Add-on: video** — charged per video (only when Include Videos is on):

| Plan | Price per 1,000 | Price per item |
|------|----------------|----------------|
| Free | $3.00 | $0.003 |
| Starter | $2.50 | $0.0025 |
| Scale | $2.00 | $0.002 |
| Business | $1.50 | $0.0015 |

| Scenario | Cost (Free plan) |
|----------|------|
| 10 profiles only | $0.06 |
| 1 profile + 50 videos | $0.45 |
| 10 profiles + 50 videos each | $4.50 |

Apify also charges a small one-time Actor Start fee ($0.00005) per run.

### Input

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `profileUrls` | string[] | *required* | TikTok profile URLs or @usernames to scrape. |
| `includeVideos` | boolean | false | Fetch the user's posted videos. Each video is a separate charged item. |
| `maxVideosPerProfile` | integer | 50 | Maximum videos per profile (only used when Include Videos is on). |

### Good to know

**Multiple profiles in one run.** Pass an array of profile URLs or usernames and get all data in a single dataset.

**Usernames accepted.** You can pass full URLs (`https://www.tiktok.com/@khaby.lame`), handles with @ (`@khaby.lame`), or bare usernames (`khaby.lame`).

**Private accounts.** Profile data (follower count, bio, etc.) is available for private accounts. Videos are only available for public accounts.

**Two output tabs.** The dataset has a "Profiles" tab and a "Videos" tab for easy filtering.

**Profile data in every video row.** When Include Videos is on, each video row includes all 21 profile fields (prefixed with `profile`) — no need for a separate profile lookup.

### Integrations

Connect this actor to your workflow with [Apify integrations](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations):

- **Make (Integromat)** — trigger workflows when new data is available
- **Zapier** — push data to Google Sheets, Slack, or databases
- **Google Drive** — export directly to spreadsheets
- **Webhooks** — notify your API when the run completes
- **Apify API** — programmatic access for custom pipelines

### Legal and personal data
