# Douyin video downloader: file link, stats and caption

**Use case:** 

Paste a Douyin video link (douyin.com/video/... or a v.douyin.com share link) and get the direct video file link, cover image, caption, hashtags, music and the like, comment, share and save counts. File links expire after a few hours, so download them right after the run.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Douyin Scraper 抖音 - Video, Comments, Profile & Hot Search](https://apify.com/kalilfagundes.w/douyin-scraper.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/kalilfagundes.w/douyin-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
