❓ FAQ

What is the TikTok Post Scraper?

It is a TikTok post scraper that takes public TikTok video URLs and returns each post's stats, caption, hashtags, author and media URLs as structured data. It is the tool to use when you already have the post links; to scrape TikTok posts by keyword, start with the TikTok Search Scraper.

Do I need a TikTok account, cookies or an API key?

No. It reads public posts only and needs no login.

Do I need a proxy?

Residential proxy is on by default and is recommended — TikTok often blocks datacenter IPs. If you remove the proxy setting, the Actor still tries a residential proxy when your account has access to one.

How many posts can I scrape per run?

There is no fixed cap. Each post URL in startUrls produces one item, so you get one result per available post you provide.

What happens with deleted or private posts? Am I charged for them?

They are skipped and not charged. A post that is deleted, private or region-locked produces no dataset item; the run log lists each skipped URL. Blocked requests are retried automatically with a new proxy session.

Can I download the video file?

The output includes play and download URLs. They are signed by TikTok and expire after a while, so download them soon after the run. To save the video files themselves, use the TikTok Video Downloader.

Can I schedule it or integrate it with my app?

Yes — every Apify Actor exposes a REST API, webhooks, and integrations with Zapier, Make, Google Sheets and Slack, and can be called from an AI agent via the Apify MCP server.

Is it legal to scrape TikTok?

This Actor accesses only publicly available posts. You are responsible for making sure your use complies with TikTok's terms of service and the laws in your jurisdiction, including privacy laws.

What if TikTok changes and the Actor breaks?

Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab with the URL that failed, and we will look into it.
