TikTok Brand Monitoring & Mention Tracker — Social Listening Scraper (No API Key)

Track every TikTok video that mentions your brand, product, campaign or any keyword. This TikTok brand monitoring 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. Each keyword runs its own TikTok search, and every video is tagged with the matchedKeyword it came from, so one scheduled job can monitor several brands at once.

Keyword-driven mention feed · full engagement metrics (views, likes, comments, shares, saves) · matchedKeyword on every row · date filter for daily monitoring · no login / no cookies / no API key · residential-proxy access with zero account ban risk · the TikTok social-listening API alternative

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

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 with full engagement metrics, 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 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 (isAd), 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 — perfect for a rolling monitoring feed.

How do I track TikTok videos mentioning my brand every day?

Add your brand and hashtags to keywords, set maxAgeDays to 1, and schedule a daily run; each run appends only the newest matching videos with full engagement metrics.

Do I need residential proxies?

Yes — TikTok requires them, and the input is pre-configured to use the Apify Proxy RESIDENTIAL group, so you don't have to set anything up. This is also what keeps runs reliable and account-safe.

How much data can I get?

As much as you like — raise maxVideosPerKeyword for depth per term, add more keywords for breadth, and set maxResults to a global cap (or 0 for unlimited). For daily monitoring, a low depth with maxAgeDays: 1 keeps runs fast and cheap.

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 and webhooks.

Is it legal?

The actor collects only publicly available video data. You are responsible for complying with TikTok's Terms and all applicable laws, including data-protection rules such as the GDPR when handling creator information.
