## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 User Scraper for Public Profile Enrichment

Turn known TikTok handles or public profile URLs into normalized creator profile records for influencer research, CRM enrichment, campaign planning, and AI-agent workflows. Each dataset row represents one public TikTok profile with identity, bio, public audience signals, verification, avatar, source provider, and collection time.

### Best fit for this Actor

Choose this Actor when you already have TikTok handles or profile URLs and need consistent profile records. For topic, video, hashtag, or creator discovery, start with the [TikTok Search Scraper](https://apify.com/khadinakbar/tiktok-search-scraper), then pass returned creator handles or profile URLs into this Actor.

### A practical creator-research scenario

A campaign researcher starts with selected TikTok handles from a discovery workflow. The Actor normalizes each profile, returns the creator's display name, bio, public counts, verification, avatar, and source metadata, and the researcher then exports the dataset into a creator shortlist or enrichment pipeline.

### Quick start input

```json
{
  "profileTargets": ["nike", "https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok"],
  "providerOrder": "scrapecreators-first",
  "maxProfiles": 10,
  "includeRawData": false
}
````

`providerOrder` supports ScrapeCreators-first and SociaVault-first routing, along with focused single-provider modes. The default route uses ScrapeCreators with SociaVault available as the managed fallback.

### What data you receive

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `username`, `profileUrl`, `userId`, `userSecUid` | TikTok profile identity |
| `nickname`, `bio`, `bioLink` | Public profile presentation and link |
| `verified`, `privateAccount`, `language` | Public profile flags and language |
| `followerCount`, `followingCount`, `heartCount`, `videoCount` | Public profile statistics at collection time |
| `avatarUrl` | Largest public avatar URL returned |
| `provider`, `inputTarget`, `scrapedAt` | Provenance and collection context |
| `rawProfile` | Optional provider object when requested |

```json
{
  "recordType": "tiktok_profile",
  "provider": "scrapecreators",
  "inputTarget": "nike",
  "username": "nike",
  "profileUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@nike",
  "nickname": "Nike",
  "bio": "Public profile bio",
  "verified": true,
  "followerCount": 12345,
  "videoCount": 120,
  "scrapedAt": "<ISO-8601 collection time>",
  "rawProfile": null
}
```

### Run through the Apify API

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/khadinakbar~tiktok-user-scraper/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"profileTargets":["nike"],"maxProfiles":10,"includeRawData":false}'
```

### Use with AI agents through Apify MCP

Example prompt:

> Enrich these public TikTok handles. Return username, canonical profile URL, nickname, bio, verification, public profile statistics, avatar URL, provider, and collection time. Read the dataset and keep profile URLs as source provenance.

Give the agent the handles or public URLs and a focused `maxProfiles` scope. Ask it to read the dataset after completion, retain `provider` and `scrapedAt`, and summarize the outcome and Apify cost.

### Pricing

This Actor uses Pay per event plus Apify platform usage. A profile event is associated with a validated normalized profile saved to the dataset. Open the live Pricing tab for current billing details and use `maxProfiles` or Apify run cost controls to manage scope.

### Best results

Provide canonical handles or public TikTok profile URLs, keep raw provider data disabled for a compact normalized contract, and enable it when provider-specific research is useful. Choose the provider order that best matches your workflow while retaining provenance in every row.

### Builder's note

I designed the dataset around one normalized profile per target because ScrapeCreators and SociaVault expose related profile facts in different payload shapes. Normalization plus the `provider` field gives agents a stable contract while preserving where each record came from.

### Responsible use

Collect public profile data you are authorized to access and follow applicable laws, TikTok terms, and relevant privacy and marketing requirements.

# Actor input Schema

## `profileTargets` (type: `array`):

Use this when you know the public TikTok profiles to look up. Accepts handles such as nike or @nike, or profile URLs such as https://www.tiktok.com/@nike. The prefill is a stable public example and up to 1,000 unique profiles are accepted. Not for keyword user search, profile video feeds, follower lists, comments, or private accounts.

## `providerOrder` (type: `string`):

Use this to select the public-data provider tried first. ScrapeCreators is the default primary and SociaVault is the fallback, with no TikTok cookies needed. Choose an only mode only when diagnosing a provider-specific response. This setting does not access private TikTok data.

## `maxProfiles` (type: `integer`):

Use this to cap the number of profile targets processed in one run. Accepts an integer from 1 to 1,000 and defaults to 100, while the prefill of 10 keeps initial testing inexpensive. One successfully saved profile is one billable result. This is a run-level cap, not a provider pagination setting.

## `includeRawData` (type: `boolean`):

Use this when you need the original provider profile payload for debugging or a custom transformation. It defaults to false because raw payloads are large and less useful to API and MCP consumers. Enable it only for a small batch. It does not unlock additional private fields.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "profileTargets": [
    "stoolpresidente"
  ],
  "providerOrder": "scrapecreators-first",
  "maxProfiles": 10,
  "includeRawData": false
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `profiles` (type: `string`):

Normalized public profile metadata including handle, bio, verification, counts, avatar, source URL, and collection time.

## `runSummary` (type: `string`):

Run-level outcome, provider attempts, diagnostics, record count, and charged profile count.

## `runOutput` (type: `string`):

Stable machine-readable output record with the terminal outcome and billing diagnostics.
