TikTok Hashtag Scraper - Scrape Videos by Tag or Keyword

Scrape TikTok videos in bulk by hashtag or keyword and turn any tag into a rich video dataset. This TikTok hashtag scraper and keyword video crawler collects every matching post with complete engagement metrics, sounds, hashtags and author details — no login, no cookies, no API key.

Feed it #booktok, morning routine or any mix of tags and keywords, then sort the output by most views, most likes or most recent to surface exactly the videos you need.

What you get

Each TikTok video is saved as one row with full metadata:

• videoId and url — the direct link to the video.
• description — the full caption text.
• postedAt and durationSec — post date and clip length.
• playCount (views), likeCount, commentCount, shareCount, saveCount — complete engagement metrics, overflow-safe even in the millions.
• hashtags — every hashtag on the video.
• music — the sound's id, title and author.
• coverUrl, width, height — cover image and dimensions.
• author — username, nickname, verified flag and followerCount.
• foundForTerm — which hashtag or keyword surfaced this video.
• scrapedAt — capture timestamp.

Export to CSV, JSON, Excel or HTML, or pull the data through the Apify API and webhooks.

2. Set maxVideosPerTerm to control how deep each term goes.
3. Choose sortBy: relevance, views, likes or recent.
4. (Optional) Set a minViews floor and toggle onlyVerifiedAuthors to cut noise; set a global maxResults cap.
5. Click Start and export.

FAQ

Does this need a TikTok login or API key?

No. The actor reads only public video data through residential proxies — no account, no cookies, no API key, and zero ban risk.

Should I use a hashtag or a keyword?

Both work, and you can mix them. Drop the # or keep it — the actor handles either. Keywords cast a wider net; hashtags are more precise.

How do I get the top-performing videos?

Set sortBy to views (or likes) and add a minViews floor to keep only the high performers.

How many videos can I pull?

Thousands. Add more terms and raise maxVideosPerTerm. Results are de-duplicated automatically across terms, so a video matching two tags is saved once.

Is this a TikTok unofficial API or API alternative?

Yes. It works as a no-API-key TikTok scraper and unofficial API alternative — feed it hashtags or keywords and pull structured video data without TikTok's official API or developer access.

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

Run the scraper, then download the dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel or HTML, or pull it through the Apify API and webhooks. Every video row carries views, likes, sound and author fields ready for analysis.

Can I scrape TikTok by keyword without login?

Yes. The actor scrapes TikTok by hashtag or keyword with no login, no cookies and no API key, returning the same engagement-rich video dataset either way.
