## Pricing

from $1.75 / 1,000 videos

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## TikTok Video Scraper: Views, Likes, Comments & More by URL (No Login)

Get full data for any TikTok video **without a TikTok account, cookies or API key**. Paste video URLs, short links or
ids and get clean, structured stats in JSON, CSV or Excel.

- **Engagement:** **views, likes, comments, shares, saves** and reposts (exact counts).
- **Content:** caption, hashtags, mentions, publish time, duration, resolution, caption language, **country it was
  posted from**, AI-generated and ad flags, cover image.
- **Sound:** sound id, title, author, original or not.
- **Author:** username, id, display name, verified badge, follower count.
- **Any link format:** `tiktok.com/@user/video/…`, short links (`vm.tiktok.com`, `vt.tiktok.com`) or
  bare video ids. Duplicates are removed after short links are resolved, so you never pay twice for one video.

### Reliable, no login needed

Tested on 200 random real videos: **200/200 delivered**, every core field (ids, counts, time, author, sound,
posting country) at 100%. Videos that were deleted or made private are listed in the run summary and not billed.

### Input

```json
{
  "videos": [
    "https://www.tiktok.com/@nasa/video/7691683140015820046",
    "https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMhvqjqjq/",
    "7686148096895569165"
  ]
}
```

### Output sample

```json

  "type": "video",
  "id": "7691683140015820046",
  "webVideoUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@nasa/video/7691683140015820046",

}
```

Field names are stable: new fields may be added, existing ones are never renamed or removed. Missing values are
explicit `null`. Each run writes a `SUMMARY` record (delivered, not found, skipped inputs).

### Pricing

| Event | Price per 1,000 |
|---|---|
| Video | $2.50 |
| Run start | $0.001 per run |

Higher Apify plans get automatic discounts. **1,000 videos ≈ $2.50.** Never charged: deleted, private or invalid
videos, and duplicates.

### Track a campaign's videos (scheduled)

Put your campaign or influencer video links in a task and schedule it daily: each run gives the current views, likes,
comments and shares, ready to chart growth in Google Sheets or Looker Studio.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,headply/tiktok-video-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
