Because there is no browser in the loop, runs start in seconds, stay inside a quarter of a gigabyte, and a full video row costs a fraction of a cent. De-duplication is applied across all inputs, so you never pay twice for the same video.

Built for AI datasets

Every row is stable, flat and de-duplicated — ready for training, evaluation and retrieval pipelines without a cleaning pass:

• Pre-training and fine-tuning corpora — descriptions, hashtags, mentions and author metadata with stable ids and timestamps.
• Multimodal datasets — a playable video URL, cover and dynamic cover, music metadata and duration for every item.
• Sentiment and topic models — comment text with likes, reply counts, language and the video it belongs to.
• Trend and engagement forecasting — plays, likes, comments, shares and saves per video, plus creation time, so you can build time series.
• Retrieval and RAG — search results, hashtag feeds and profiles as a knowledge base for agents.
• Commerce and recommendation — TikTok Shop products behind each video (product id, title, seller) for recommendation and demand models.
• Geo and spatial models — place pages with coordinates, city and category.
• Audio and sound matching — sound pages with title, author, duration and play URL for audio fingerprints and sound recommendation.

Export as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, stream to your warehouse on a schedule, or deliver through webhooks and the Apify API.

What you get

One row per item, with dataType:

dataType	Fields
video	id, URL, description, created date, author (id, @handle, nickname, sec uid, verified, bio, avatar), plays, likes, comments, shares, saves, reposts, music (id, title, author, original, play URL), video URL, download URL, cover, dynamic cover, dimensions, definition, hashtags, mentions, discovery source
profile	id, URL, @handle, nickname, sec uid, bio, verified, private, avatar, followers, following, hearts, video count
comment	id, video id/URL, text, created date, likes, reply count, pinned, language, author
sound	id, URL, title, author, owner, duration, original, commerce flag, video count, cover, play URL, created date
location	place id, URL, name, address, city, country, category, latitude/longitude, video count, favourite count, cover
product	product id, title, seller ids, image, anchor type, and the video it was found on

Duplicates are removed across all inputs. includeComments adds one row per comment of every delivered video; includeReplies adds their replies.

Quick start

1. Videos — paste video URLs (https://www.tiktok.com/@user/video/123…) or numeric IDs.
2. Profiles — paste profile URLs, @handles or sec_uids. Each profile comes with its recent videos (up to Max videos per profile).
3. Searches — keywords; ~110 videos per broad query, plus Search variants for more.
4. Hashtags — cats, #cats or a tag URL.
5. Sounds — sound URLs or ids: the sound's page plus the videos using it.
6. Locations — place URLs or ids: the place plus the videos posted there.
7. Followers of / Following of — profiles whose follower list to read.
8. User searches — keywords to find users by name or handle.
9. For You feed — N videos from the algorithmic feed (optional).

Everything can be combined in one run.

Output formats

outputFormat changes the row's field names, not what is scraped:

Value	Shape
native	this actor's flat schema (dataType, authorUniqueId, playCount, …)
clockworks	authorMeta, musicMeta, videoMeta, diggCount, playCount, webVideoUrl, createTimeISO; comments use cid, awemeUrl
apidojo	views, likes, comments, shares, bookmarks, channel, video, song, postPage

The mappings are field-compatible, not byte-identical: values that TikTok does not publish (a video's author follower counts, song album, hashtag ids) stay null instead of being invented. sound, location and product rows are always in the native shape.

Pricing

Pay per event — you pay only for the rows you receive:

Event	Price
video	$0.18 / 1,000
profile (also followers/following rows)	$0.12 / 1,000
comment	$0.06 / 1,000
sound	$0.06 / 1,000
location	$0.06 / 1,000
product	$0.06 / 1,000
Actor start	$0.001 per run

Set a maximum cost per run and the actor stops when it is reached; nothing beyond your limit is delivered or charged.

Notes and limits

• A keyword search returns up to ~110 videos; Search variants asks the topic's own hashtags again for more (measured 110 → 130+). Narrow, multi-word keywords return fewer.
• postedWithinDays uses TikTok's own date filter, which narrows the same result pool: short windows return far fewer videos. Hashtag feeds are filtered locally because TikTok ignores the filter there.
• region selects the catalogue to read (measured: two runs in one region share ~90% of their videos, two regions ~55%).
• The For You feed is algorithmic: not reproducible run to run.
• vm.tiktok.com short links are not expanded: open the link and use the redirected URL.
• Private or deleted videos and profiles are skipped and not charged.
• Shop products come from the video's own Shop anchor; TikTok does not publish a product catalogue to a logged-out session.
