TikTok Scraper API – Stats, Transcripts & Profiles, No Login

TikTok Scraper API: Engagement Rate, Transcripts & View Counts, No Login

Get TikTok view counts, engagement rate, transcripts and exact follower counts from links or usernames, with no login, no cookies and no API key. Paste video links or usernames. You get one tidy row per video with views, likes, comments, shares, saves and engagement rate, and one row per creator with exact followers, average views and average engagement rate.

Try it for half a cent. Click Start and the prefilled run finishes in about 12 seconds. Its rows are free, and the $0.005 start fee comes out of the $5 credit Apify's free plan gives you every month.

$0.25 per 1,000 videos on the Bronze plan, about 90% below the $3 of the most-used TikTok scraper. Every month your first 300 videos, 100 profiles and 100 transcripts are free. Each run has the $0.005 start fee, so put many links in one run.

Built for tracking known videos and creators. It doesn't do keyword search, and it returns at most 10 videos per profile. If you need a creator's full history, this isn't the right tool, see what it doesn't do.

🔍 What does it do?

• Video stats by link or ID. Views, likes, comments, shares, saves, reposts, caption, hashtags, mentions, language, publish time, length, music, country, ad and AI-generated flags, plus the author's followers. Photo posts work too, with their image links.
• Engagement rate, worked out for you. Every video row has engagementRate: (likes + comments + shares) / views, in percent. Every creator row has avgViews, medianViews, avgLikes and avgEngagementRate over the videos we read, up to 10, so you can vet an influencer in one row at no extra cost.
• Transcripts from TikTok's own captions. About half of the videos in our tests had captions (97 of 187). The text comes back in the same row, in any language TikTok has it. No speech-to-text, so a video without captions stays empty and isn't charged.
• Exact profile numbers. Followers and total likes to the last digit, video count, bio, link in bio, business category and account age.
• Sounds and hashtags (beta). Total videos and views, plus up to 10 top videos.
• Monitoring. Give a monitor name and a schedule: each run returns only videos it hasn't returned before, and repeats cost nothing.

🚫 What it doesn't do

• More than 10 videos per profile, hashtag or sound. That's what TikTok's public embed pages show. TikTok's list API refuses plain clients, and we don't get around that with signed requests or disguised browsers.
• Keyword search, comments, followers lists, video downloads. Not available this way.
• Private accounts, or anything that needs a login.
• Every hashtag, every time. Hashtags are beta: in our tests TikTok answered for roughly 3 in 10 to 2 in 3 of hashtags per run, and which ones changes. The rest report UNAVAILABLE and aren't charged. Try again later, or use profiles and sounds.
• Exact video counts. TikTok rounds views and likes on public pages (1,700,000). Saves and small numbers are exact, and so are profile followers and total likes.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a TikTok account, cookies or an API key? No. Only an Apify account.

How do I get a TikTok creator's engagement rate? Put the username in profiles and read avgEngagementRate. It's the average of (likes + comments + shares) / views across the videos we read, up to 10, and sampleVideos says how many that was. Averages use every video read, even ones your filters drop. TikTok rounds large counts, so treat the rate as close, not exact.

Why are the averages empty? The creator row needs videos to average. They stay empty with maxVideosPerSource: 0, or when the creator turned embeds off.

How much does a run cost? Half a cent to start, plus the rows above the free quota. The prefilled run returns 5 rows, inside the free quota, and Apify's free plan gives you $5 of credit every month for the start fee.

Which videos does a profile return? The ones on the creator's public embed page: up to 10, mostly recent but not strictly newest first. Some creators turn embeds off. You still get the profile row, and RUN_SUMMARY says VIDEOS_NOT_SHOWN.

Why are some cover links dead after a while? TikTok's image links expire. Save the image if you need it later.

Why is isAd true on some normal videos? It's TikTok's own flag, passed on as is.

How do I track numbers over time? Schedule the same video links or profiles daily and store each dataset, or send them to a sheet with an Apify integration.

Is this legal? It reads public data that any logged-out visitor sees, and it is not affiliated with TikTok. Creators' content stays theirs, and TikTok's terms and robots rules, including its limits on AI crawlers, may apply to how you use the data. Check them for your use, and don't use profile data to contact or profile individuals without a lawful basis.

🤖 Use it from code

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/k-data-lab~tiktok-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"videoUrls":["https://www.tiktok.com/@nasa/video/7698805564884733198"]}'

Works the same from Python, n8n, Make and Zapier through their Apify integrations.

🧠 Use it from AI agents (MCP)

Add it as a tool in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client: https://mcp.apify.com?tools=actors,k-data-lab/tiktok-scraper. It returns plain JSON and needs no TikTok login, so an agent can call it straight away.

The agent is asked to	Input to send
Get views and likes of a TikTok	{ "videoUrls": ["<video link>"] }
Read what is said in a TikTok	{ "videoUrls": ["<video link>"], "includeTranscript": true }
Get a creator's follower count	{ "profiles": ["<username>"], "maxVideosPerSource": 0 }
Get a creator's engagement rate or average views	{ "profiles": ["<username>"] }
Get a TikTok's captions or subtitles as text	{ "videoUrls": ["<video link>"], "includeTranscript": true }
List a creator's recent videos	{ "profiles": ["<username>"] }

Every field is optional, but you need at least one video, profile, hashtag or sound. Read views, likes, comments, shares, saves, engagementRate and transcript on video rows, followers, totalLikes, avgViews and avgEngagementRate on profile rows. Lists stop at 10 videos, and keyword search isn't available.
