TikTok Music & Sound Scraper

Search TikTok sounds by keyword, then find out who is actually using them.

Give it a track name, an artist, or a mood like lofi. Get one row per sound with its title, artist, album, duration, cover and a direct audio URL. Switch on video collection and every sound is followed by the posts using it.

Why Use This Scraper

A sound's title tells you nothing about its reach. What matters is which creators picked it up, how many plays those posts got, and how big their audiences are. This Actor gives you both halves and links them by soundId, so you can sort a keyword's sounds by the engagement they actually generated.

Useful for spotting a track before it peaks, checking whether a sync placement travelled, or building a shortlist of creators already using your music.

Supported Inputs

Any keyword TikTok's sound search understands: a track title, an artist name, a genre, or a mood.

Keyword	Finds
lofi	Ambient and study-beat sounds
phonk	Genre catalogue
taylor swift	Official and user-uploaded cuts
original sound	Creator-recorded audio

Several keywords in one run.

Use Cases

Music and A&R research, watching which tracks are being adopted and by whom.

Sync and licensing checks, confirming a placement actually spread on the platform.

Creator discovery, building a list of accounts already using a given sound.

Trend forecasting, comparing play counts across the videos on a rising sound.

Competitive audio analysis, seeing which sounds a rival brand's content leans on.

How It Works

Each keyword is searched for sounds, which arrive roughly 20 per request and are deduplicated by sound ID. When video collection is on, each sound is then expanded into the posts using it, about 30 per request. A sound whose videos cannot be read still keeps its own row rather than failing the keyword.

Input Configuration

Field	Type	Default	Description
keywords	array	required	Words to search sounds for.
maxSoundsPerKeyword	integer	40	Stop after this many sounds per keyword.
includeVideos	boolean	false	Also collect the videos using each sound.
maxVideosPerSound	integer	30	Applies only when collecting videos.
region	string	US	Two-letter country code shaping which sounds are returned.

FAQ

Why is video collection off by default? Expanding a sound costs an extra upstream request each. Leaving it off keeps a broad keyword sweep fast; turn it on when you have narrowed to a handful of sounds worth measuring.

Why did I get fewer sounds than I asked for? The page size is a hint rather than a promise. Asking for 20 commonly returns 19. The Actor keeps paging until your limit is reached or TikTok reports no more, so the total is what you asked for even when individual pages come up short.

Does videoCount match the number of video rows? No. videoCount is TikTok's own total for the sound, often in the hundreds of thousands. The video rows are capped by maxVideosPerSound.

Do I need a login or cookies? No.

What does it cost? One charge per row returned, plus a small per-run start fee. Sound rows and video rows are billed the same. No subscription.

🤖 For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Purpose: Return TikTok sounds matching a keyword, and optionally the videos using each sound.

Minimal tested input:

{ "keywords": ["lofi"] }

Output: array of flat objects. Every row carries rowType, either sound or video. Sound rows: keyword, soundId, soundTitle, soundAuthor, album, durationSeconds, isOriginal, playUrl, coverUrl, soundUrl, videoCount, scrapedAt. Video rows: soundId, soundTitle, postId, postUrl, caption, createdAt, durationSeconds, playCount, likeCount, commentCount, shareCount, authorId, authorUsername, authorNickname, authorFollowerCount.

Critical for agents: branch on rowType before reading fields, since the two shapes differ. Join video rows to their sound by soundId. Do not read videoCount as the number of returned video rows; it is TikTok's own total for the sound and is usually far larger. Video rows only appear when includeVideos is true.

Behavior & billing: Pay-per-event, one charge per row. Keywords matching no sounds yield one error item (error, message) rather than failing the run. No login or cookies required.
