Cost estimation

A typical run processes one video in under 10 seconds and costs well under $0.01 in platform compute units. You can scrape hundreds of videos in a single run at very low cost.

Tips

• Batch by author — if you have several videos from the same author, include them all in one run. The Actor processes them more efficiently together.
• Very old videos — very old videos on accounts with thousands of posts may take longer to find or may not be available.

FAQ and support

Is this legal? This Actor accesses only publicly available data that any web browser can see. Always review TikTok's Terms of Service before use.

The download URL is missing for some videos. Some videos may not have a download URL available. This depends on the video's privacy settings and regional restrictions.

My video was not found. Very old videos on accounts with a large number of posts may not be reachable. Try with a newer video to confirm the Actor works for your use case.
