🧭 Tips

• Direct video lookups: use videoUrls when you already know the exact TikTok links you want.
• Broad trend monitoring: combine hashtags and searchQueries in one run to compare topic-driven discovery with keyword-driven discovery.
• Unlimited collection: set maxVideosPerInput to 0 when you want to keep collecting until no more public videos are available.
• Global cap: use maxTotalVideos to keep large mixed-source runs predictable.
• Profile archive windows: combine videosPublishedBeforeDate and videosPublishedAfterDate to focus profile scraping on a specific publication period.

⚙️ Best Practices

• This actor works with public TikTok data only. Private, deleted, restricted, or unavailable content may return partial data or no result.
• videosPublishedBeforeDate and videosPublishedAfterDate apply to profile video collection, not direct video URLs, hashtags, or search queries.
• Media links can expire over time. If you need long-term retention, store downloaded assets in your own storage after the run.
• For the cleanest analysis, run separate jobs for very different goals, such as one run for creator research and another for hashtag monitoring.

⚖️ Legal & Ethical Considerations

• Respect TikTok's Terms of Service and use the actor responsibly.
• Handle personal data carefully and comply with applicable privacy laws such as GDPR or CCPA.
• Avoid misuse of scraped data for spam, harassment, or deceptive practices.
• Review local laws and platform rules before using data in commercial or regulated workflows.

❓ FAQ

Can I combine profiles, hashtags, search queries, and video URLs in one run? Yes. You can use any combination of those inputs, and the actor will save one dataset row per video.

What happens when I set maxVideosPerInput to 0? The actor keeps collecting videos for each profile, hashtag, or search query until no more public results are available.

Does maxTotalVideos apply across all sources? Yes. It limits the total number of saved video rows across video URLs, profiles, hashtags, and search queries.

Do date filters work for hashtags and search queries? No. videosPublishedBeforeDate and videosPublishedAfterDate are for profile video collection.

Can I scrape reposts from TikTok profiles? Yes. Add "reposts" to profileScrapeSections if you want reposted videos in addition to standard profile videos.
