TikTok Brand Monitoring & Mention Tracker

Track every TikTok video that mentions your brand, product, campaign or any keyword. This TikTok mention tracker and social-listening tool turns a list of terms into a continuously updated feed of matching videos with full engagement metrics — no login, no cookies, no API key.

Point it at your brand, your competitors and your campaign hashtags, run it on a daily schedule, and watch your share-of-voice on TikTok build up over time.

What you get

Each TikTok video that matches one of your keywords is saved as one clean row, with the real fields you need for social listening:

• videoId and url — the direct link to the TikTok video.
• description — the full caption text where your brand was mentioned.
• postedAt — the post date (ISO timestamp) for freshness tracking.
• playCount (views), likeCount, commentCount, shareCount, saveCount — complete engagement metrics, overflow-safe even in the millions.
• hashtags — every hashtag used on the video.
• music — the sound's id, title and author.
• author — the creator's username, nickname and verified badge.
• durationSec and isAd — clip length and an organic-vs-promoted flag.
• matchedKeyword — which of your tracked terms this video came from.
• scrapedAt — when the row was captured.

Export everything to CSV, JSON, Excel or HTML, or stream it through the Apify API and webhooks into your own dashboard.

How to use

1. Add your keywords — brand names, product names, campaigns, competitors or #hashtags. Each term runs its own TikTok search.
2. Set maxVideosPerKeyword to control depth per term.
3. (Optional) Set maxAgeDays to keep only fresh posts — set it to 1 for daily monitoring runs.
4. (Optional) Toggle includeAds and set a global maxResults cap.
5. Click Start, or open Schedules in the Apify Console and point a daily run at this actor to build a hands-off mention feed.

FAQ

Does this need a TikTok login or API key?

No. The actor only reads publicly available video data through residential proxies — no account, no cookies, no API key, and zero ban risk to any TikTok account.

How is this different from a plain hashtag scraper?

It's built for ongoing monitoring. You get date filtering (maxAgeDays), an ad-vs-organic flag, and a matchedKeyword field on every row so you can track multiple brands or competitors in one scheduled job and split the results cleanly.

Can I track several brands or competitors at once?

Yes. Add them all to keywords; each result is tagged with the matchedKeyword it came from, so you can measure share-of-voice across brands by comparing mention counts, views and engagement.

How do I keep only fresh mentions?

Set maxAgeDays to 1 (or 7) and schedule a daily run. Each run appends only the newest matching videos to your dataset.

Is this a TikTok API alternative?

Yes. TikTok has no public mention-monitoring API, so this works as a TikTok API alternative — it reads public video data by keyword and returns structured rows, no API key required.

Can I scrape TikTok without an API key or login?

Yes. The actor scrapes TikTok videos by keyword without any login, cookies or API key, using residential proxies, so there's zero ban risk to a TikTok account.

How do I export TikTok video data to CSV or JSON?

Every matching video is saved as one row. Use the Export button to download the dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel or HTML, or pull it through the Apify API.
