Why This Scraper

No TikTok API key required. TikTok's Research API has strict eligibility requirements and waitlists. This actor uses TikTok's embedded page data (the same JSON that powers the app's web interface) — no API credentials needed.

Profiles and videos in one run. The scrapeType field lets you collect just profile stats, just video details, or both in a single run — no need to run the actor twice.

Embedded JSON extraction. TikTok includes a rich __UNIVERSAL_DATA_FOR_REHYDRATION__ script tag in every profile page. The actor parses this directly for reliable, structured data without brittle CSS selector scraping.

Username normalization. Pass @charlidamelio or charlidamelio — both are handled correctly.

Apify proxy integration. Runs with Apify's built-in proxy pool to handle TikTok's geographic and bot-detection measures.

FAQ

Q: Can I scrape private TikTok accounts? A: No. Only public profile data is accessible through the web interface.

Q: Does this scrape the actual video files? A: No — the actor collects video metadata (stats, description, URL) but does not download video files.

Q: How many videos can I collect per profile? A: The maxVideos field controls this (default 20). The number available depends on what TikTok embeds in the page for that profile.

Q: What is the difference between likes on the profile vs. on a video? A: Profile-level likes is the creator's total lifetime likes across all videos. Video-level likes is the like count on that specific video.

Q: Can I use this to monitor trending sounds or hashtags? A: Yes — collect videos from multiple creators in a niche, then aggregate the hashtags and music fields to find what's trending.
