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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## TikTok Profile Scraper A simple Apify actor for scraping public TikTok profile information by username. ### Features - Scrape TikTok public profile metadata - Extract follower, following, likes, and video counts - Retrieve profile images and bio details - Detect verified, business, and organization accounts - Export structured JSON datasets - Compatible with Apify datasets and integrations --- ### Input The actor accepts the following input schema: ```json { "usernames": ["nike"], "maxRequestsPerCrawl": 100 } ```` #### Input Fields | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-----------------------|---------------|----------|----------------------------------------------------| | `usernames` | Array | Yes | List of TikTok usernames to scrape | | `maxRequestsPerCrawl` | Integer | No | Maximum number of requests allowed during crawling | *** ### Example Input ```json { "usernames": [ "nike", "tiktok" ], "maxRequestsPerCrawl": 50 } ``` *** ### Output The actor returns one dataset item per TikTok profile. #### Example Output ```json { "id": "208464585232822272", "short_id": null, "username": "nike", "nickname": "Nike", "profile_url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@nike", "bio": "Just Do It.", "sec_uid": "MS4wLjABAAAA_3ndMt8d_tECTdpKgCxcx238tOnQZX-20wqN01aMui5zQ7hsqSdff-jC5qYC-Cl_", "avatar_thumb": "https://p19-common-sign.tiktokcdn-us.com/tos-useast5-avt-0068-tx/e0b0ac7b6ad6447a8e923fd1eb162f2c~tplv-tiktokx-cropcenter:100:100.jpeg?dr=9640&refresh_token=ebb4791e&x-expires=1780077600&x-signature=MaWd%2BW3qDZXfY5ihVjq1Yyh12eE%3D&t=4d5b0474&ps=13740610&shp=a5d48078&shcp=81f88b70&idc=useast8", "avatar_medium": "https://p19-common-sign.tiktokcdn-us.com/tos-useast5-avt-0068-tx/e0b0ac7b6ad6447a8e923fd1eb162f2c~tplv-tiktokx-cropcenter:720:720.jpeg?dr=9640&refresh_token=d7d1ff35&x-expires=1780077600&x-signature=%2BuzBappc2U3i6upYlKoKlwoJz48%3D&t=4d5b0474&ps=13740610&shp=a5d48078&shcp=81f88b70&idc=useast8", "avatar_large": "https://p16-common-sign.tiktokcdn-us.com/tos-useast5-avt-0068-tx/e0b0ac7b6ad6447a8e923fd1eb162f2c~tplv-tiktokx-cropcenter:1080:1080.jpeg?dr=9640&refresh_token=ddc24662&x-expires=1780077600&x-signature=BWQPO7cRoY3v6UEadq%2FG%2FweWYGs%3D&t=4d5b0474&ps=13740610&shp=a5d48078&shcp=81f88b70&idc=useast8", "verified": true, "private_account": false, "is_secret": false, "is_commerce_account": true, "commerce_category": "Sports, Fitness & Outdoors", "is_seller": false, "is_organization": true, "is_ad_virtual": false, "is_embed_banned": false, "ftc": false, "bio_link": "http://empli.fi/niketiktok", "language": "en", "created_at": 1490044565, "created_at_iso": "2017-03-20T21:16:05.000Z", "username_last_changed_at": 0, "nickname_last_changed_at": 0, "followers": 8500000, "following": 90, "likes": 43600000, "video_count": 1075, "digg_count": 0, "friend_count": 41, "duet_setting": 0, "stitch_setting": 0, "comment_setting": 0, "download_setting": 0, "following_visibility": 2, "open_favorite": false, "relation": 0, "profile_tabs": { "music": false, "questions": true, "playlists": true, "can_expand_playlist": true }, "is_live": false, "room_id": null, "recommend_reason": null, "canonical_url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@nike", "share_title": "Nike on TikTok", "share_desc": "@nike 8.5m Followers, 90 Following, 43.6m Likes - Watch awesome short videos created by Nike" } ``` *** ### Available Output Fields #### Profile Information - `id` - `short_id` - `username` - `nickname` - `profile_url` - `bio` - `sec_uid` #### Profile Images - `avatar_thumb` - `avatar_medium` - `avatar_large` #### Account Status - `verified` - `private_account` - `is_secret` - `is_commerce_account` - `is_seller` - `is_organization` - `is_ad_virtual` - `is_embed_banned` #### Engagement Metrics - `followers` - `following` - `likes` - `video_count` - `digg_count` - `friend_count` #### Settings & Visibility - `duet_setting` - `stitch_setting` - `comment_setting` - `download_setting` - `following_visibility` - `open_favorite` #### Additional Metadata - `language` - `bio_link` - `created_at` - `created_at_iso` - `canonical_url` - `share_title` - `share_desc` *** ### Dataset View The default dataset overview includes: - Avatar - Username - Display name - Verification status - Followers - Likes - Video count - Following count - Bio - Business category - Profile URL - Account creation date *** ### Usage #### Run on Apify 1.
