Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## TikTok User Scraper Scrape TikTok user profiles, their videos, and video comments. No API key or login required. ### What data does it extract? **Profile data:** | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `username` | TikTok handle | | `displayName` | Profile display name | | `bio` | Profile bio text | | `verified` | Whether the account is verified | | `avatar` | Avatar image URL | | `followers` | Follower count | | `following` | Following count | | `totalLikes` | Total likes across all videos | | `totalVideos` | Total video count | | `profileUrl` | Link to the profile | **Video data:** | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `id` | Video ID | | `url` | Direct link to the video | | `description` | Video caption/description | | `views` | View count | | `likes` | Like count | | `comments` | Comment count | | `shares` | Share count | | `duration` | Video length in seconds | | `thumbnail` | Thumbnail image URL | | `musicTitle` | Sound/music title used | | `musicAuthor` | Sound author name | | `created` | ISO timestamp of when the video was posted | **Comment data** (optional): | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `id` | Comment ID | | `text` | Comment text | | `likes` | Comment like count | | `author` | Commenter's username | | `authorDisplay` | Commenter's display name | | `replyCount` | Number of replies | | `created` | ISO timestamp | ### Use cases - **Influencer research** — Get follower counts, engagement rates, and content stats for any TikTok creator - **Competitor analysis** — Monitor what content competitors are posting and how it performs - **Audience insights** — Analyze comments on videos to understand audience sentiment and interests - **Content strategy** — Study which video formats, durations, and topics get the most engagement - **Talent scouting** — Find creators in a niche by comparing profile stats across multiple accounts ### How to use Scrape profile and recent videos: ```json { "usernames": ["mrbeast", "cristiano"], "maxVideos": 30 } ```` Include comments on each video: ```json { "usernames": ["@charlidamelio"], "maxVideos": 10, "includeComments": true, "maxComments": 50 } ``` ### Input parameters | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | `usernames` | array | `[]` | TikTok usernames to scrape (with or without @). Required. | | `maxVideos` | integer | `30` | Max videos per user (1-200) | | `includeComments` | boolean | `false` | Scrape comments for each video. Significantly slower. | | `maxComments` | integer | `20` | Max comments per video (1-100). Only used when `includeComments` is true. | | `proxyConfig` | object | `{"useApifyProxy": true}` | Proxy settings. TikTok blocks datacenter IPs heavily. | ### Output example Profile record: ```json { "type": "profile", "username": "mrbeast", "displayName": "MrBeast", "bio": "New video every Saturday!", "verified": true, "avatar": "https://p16-sign-va.tiktokcdn.com/tos-maliva-avt-0068/example.jpeg", "followers": 102400000, "following": 312, "totalLikes": 2100000000, "totalVideos": 421, "profileUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@mrbeast", "scrapedAt": "2026-03-28T14:30:00.000Z" } ``` Video record: ```json { "type": "video", "profileUsername": "mrbeast", "id": "7345678901234567890", "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@mrbeast/video/7345678901234567890", "description": "I gave away $1,000,000 to random people on the street", "views": 85000000, "likes": 12500000, "comments": 245000, "shares": 890000, "duration": 62, "thumbnail": "https://p16-sign-va.tiktokcdn.com/obj/tos-maliva-p-0068/example.jpeg", "musicTitle": "original sound - MrBeast", "musicAuthor": "MrBeast", "created": "2026-03-15T18:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Performance & cost - Returns accurate engagement stats directly from the platform - Requires ~2 GB memory. Expect 1-3 minutes per profile depending on `maxVideos` and whether comments are enabled. ### FAQ **Can I scrape private accounts?** No. Only public profiles and their publicly visible videos are accessible. **How many users can I scrape in one run?** There's no hard limit. Each user takes 1-3 minutes, so plan your timeout accordingly. The default timeout is 5 minutes, which works for 2-3 users. **Why are some video stats showing 0?** If the API capture doesn't trigger during page load, the scraper falls back to DOM extraction, which may have limited stat data. Running with proxies on the Apify platform generally gives better results. # Actor input Schema ## `usernames` (type: `array`): List of TikTok usernames to scrape (with or without @).
