❓ Frequently Asked Questions

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.

How do I collect only videos from verified TikTok creators?

Enable onlyVerifiedAuthors to keep videos posted by verified accounts only — useful for benchmarking established creators or brand-safe content research.
