Field names are lowercase snake_case, and the input keys match them. Long URLs and text are abbreviated for readability — the dataset contains the full values.

2. Export the dataset to CSV or JSON.
3. Feed description and hashtags into content, trend, or language analysis.

How much does TikTok Posts Scraper cost?

This Actor is billed per post returned (pay-per-event) on top of standard Apify platform usage. A run over 10 keywords at 100 posts each is billed as up to 1,000 results; keywords with fewer posts than the cap are billed for what they return.

See the Pricing tab for current rates and your plan's discounts.

FAQ

Do I need a TikTok account, cookies, or an API key? No. The Actor reads publicly available search results, so no login or credentials are required.

Can it scrape private accounts or restricted content? No. Only posts that are publicly visible are returned; private or restricted content is skipped.

How many posts can I get per keyword? Up to max_posts (default 100). Raise it for more; large pulls take longer and are billed per post returned.

Which keywords work best? Short, popular terms work best — brand names, creators, products, and topics.

Why do the numbers differ from what I see when logged in? Public views can show different play or like counts than a logged-in session. The dataset reflects what is publicly available at run time.

Is it legal to scrape TikTok? Public data only. Captions, usernames, and profile details may be personal data — only collect it when you have a legitimate reason, and follow Apify's legal guidance and the applicable terms.

Can I use it with the API, SDKs, or MCP? Yes — see the API tab above, or connect through the Apify MCP server.

A keyword is missing from the results. That keyword is logged with the reason (for example, a temporary failure or a rate limit). The rest of the run continues; re-run just that keyword if needed.

Notes and limitations

• Public posts only — private accounts and region-restricted content are not available.
• created_at is a Unix timestamp in UTC.
• video.play_url and video.download_url are time-limited media links; download them soon after the run if you need to keep the files. download_url is empty for some posts.
• Play and like counts are rounded by TikTok (e.g. 19200000 for "19.2M"), matching what the public page shows.

Run locally
