TikTok Posts Scraper 🎵

Scrape TikTok posts and full video metadata from profiles, hashtags, keyword searches, or direct video URLs. Get one clean record per post — description, engagement (plays, likes, comments, shares, saves), duration, hashtags, music, and the author's profile. Export data, run via API, schedule runs, or integrate with other tools.

What can it do?

• 👤 By profile — all recent posts from any public username.
• #️⃣ By hashtag — top posts for any hashtag.
• 🔎 By search — posts matching a keyword query.
• 🔗 By URL — pass video URLs directly (fastest, no discovery step).
• 📊 Full engagement per post — plays, likes, comments, shares, saves.
• 🎼 Rich metadata — hashtags, music (title/author/id), duration, cover, author profile & follower counts.

FAQ

How does it work without login? Profiles are discovered from TikTok's public embed page (unsigned), and each video's full data is read from TikTok's page rehydration data via a TLS-impersonated request — no API key, no login, no request signing to rot.

Direct URLs are fastest — passing postUrls skips discovery entirely.

How many posts per profile? The embed feed exposes roughly the 10–16 most recent posts per profile without a proxy. Pass postUrls for any specific videos beyond that.

Do I need a proxy? No — profiles and postUrls both run on datacenter IPs with no proxy. Only hashtags and searchQueries are gated: TikTok serves those lists exclusively through signed XHRs that survive only on residential IPs, so supply a residential proxy to use them. Without one, stick to profiles and postUrls.

Can I get an author's follower count? Yes — every post record includes the author's follower, heart and video counts.

Can I run it on a schedule / via API? Yes — schedule it or call it via the Apify API/SDK like any actor.

Is scraping TikTok legal? You're responsible for complying with applicable terms and laws; this actor reads publicly visible post data only.
