## What's an Apify Actor?
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: Extract public profile data from any TikTok account
TikTok profile scraper that pulls public account data from any username into a flat dataset you can export immediately. Give it a list of usernames and you get follower counts, following counts, total likes, video counts, bio links, avatar URLs, and verification status, all in one structured row per account.
No browser needed, no login required.
### Why scrape TikTok profile data
Follower counts and engagement stats are not visible in bulk anywhere on TikTok. There is no export button, and there is no way to monitor multiple accounts at once without a scraper.
If you are vetting influencers, you need to see follower counts, total likes, video output, and whether the account is verified before you contact anyone. This actor does that for any number of accounts in one run.
### Use cases
- Research influencer accounts before reaching out for partnerships
- Track how a competitor's follower count and video output change week to week
- Build a database of TikTok creators in a niche with their stats and bio links
- Monitor brand account growth across multiple markets on a schedule
- Verify whether an account is real and active before any deal
- Collect profile data for NLP research or creator recommendation systems
### Input
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|-----------|------|-------------|
| `usernames` | array | TikTok usernames or profile URLs. Accepts `@username`, plain `username`, or full profile URL. Required. |
#### Example input
```json
{
"usernames": [
"bellapoarch",
"charlidamelio",
"https://www.tiktok.com/@khaby.lame"
]
}
````
### What data does this actor extract?
One flat row per profile. Every stat is mapped to a top-level field, no nested objects.

### Scheduling: monitor TikTok accounts over time
Put this on a repeating schedule to track how follower counts, video output, and engagement change over time. Each run appends fresh rows with a new `scrapedAt` timestamp.
To schedule a run:
1. Click "Save as a new task" after setting up your input
2. Open the "Schedule" tab
3. Set your interval (daily or weekly works well for growth tracking)
4. The actor runs automatically and adds new results to the dataset
### FAQ
**Do I need a TikTok account or login?**
No. The actor only works with public profile pages. No TikTok login or credentials are needed.
**Does it work with full profile URLs?**
Yes. You can pass `https://www.tiktok.com/@bellapoarch`, `@bellapoarch`, or just `bellapoarch`. All three work the same way.
**What if a profile is not found?**
The actor pushes an error row with `searchQuery` and an `error` field explaining what went wrong, then continues with the remaining usernames.
**Can I scrape hundreds or thousands of profiles?**
Yes. Paste as many usernames as you need. The actor processes them all with no hard cap.
### Integrations
Connect with other apps via [Apify integrations](https://apify.com/integrations): Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier, and more. Set up [webhooks](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/webhooks) to trigger the next step in your workflow the moment a run finishes.
