Pricing — how much does it cost to scrape TikTok profiles?

This Actor uses the pay-per-event pricing model. You are charged for two types of events:

Event	Description	Charged
profile-scraped	Resolving a TikTok profile	Once per profile
video-scraped	Saving a video to the dataset	Once per video

You can set a maximum spending limit on each run to control your costs. When the limit is reached, the scraper stops automatically.

Cost estimate

• The default run (15 videos from one profile) takes about 5 seconds and costs a fraction of a cent.
• To scrape all videos, set maxVideosPerProfile to 0. A large profile with thousands of posts takes a few minutes.

Tips for scraping TikTok profiles

• The default maxVideosPerProfile is 15, which is a good starting point for testing.
• Set maxVideosPerProfile to 0 to get all videos from a profile.
• You can pass multiple profile URLs in a single run.
• The scraper handles @handle values, full URLs, and raw secUid strings.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

Is it legal to scrape TikTok? This scraper collects publicly available data. Review the TikTok Terms of Service and your local laws before use. You are responsible for how you use the data.

What if a profile returns no results? The profile may be private, may not exist, or TikTok may have changed its page structure. Check the run log for error details.
