TikTok Profile & Video Stats Scraper

Give it a handle, get that account's full profile as clean JSON. Give it a video link, get that video's play, like, comment, share and save counts. No login, no cookies, no session tokens, no proxy configuration, no signature reverse-engineering. Pass @nasa, duolingo, https://www.tiktok.com/@nba, or https://www.tiktok.com/@nasa/video/7676868860749827342 and get back structured records you can drop into a database or hand to an agent.

You are charged only for accounts and videos that were actually found. A banned, deleted, or mistyped handle — or a deleted, private, or mistyped video link — produces an explanatory row and costs nothing.

Input	TikTok handles (@name or name), profile URLs, and/or video links or IDs
Output	One profile row per account (identity, bio, counts, interaction settings) and one row per video (counts, caption, hashtags, music, author)
Price	$0.02 per profile · $0.01 per video — the same on every Apify plan
Video lists	Not supported. Videos are looked up one by one from the links you pass. See What this Actor cannot do

What you get

Profiles

{
  "itemType": "profile",
  "handle": "duolingo",
  "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@duolingo",
  "userId": "6803362232132698118",
  "secUid": "MS4wLjABAAAA…",
  "nickname": "Duolingo",
  "bio": "the unhinged owl",
  "bioLink": "https://duolingo.com",
  "avatar": "https://p16-sign-va.tiktokcdn.com/…",
  "isVerified": true,
  "isPrivate": false,
  "createdAt": "2021-01-14T00:00:00.000Z",

  "followers": 17800000,
  "following": 312,
  "likes": 494600000,
  "videoCount": 1159,
  "friendCount": 208,

  "isBusinessAccount": true,
  "businessCategory": "Media & Entertainment",
  "commentSetting": "everyone",
  "duetSetting": "everyone",
  "stitchSetting": "everyone",
  "downloadSetting": "everyone",
  "openFavorite": true,
  "isUnderAge18": false
}

Counts are real numbers, not display strings — you can sort and filter without parsing "17.8M" first. createdAt is the account creation date as a real ISO timestamp, which is one of the more useful signals for spotting a freshly-minted account behind a large follower number.

secUid is TikTok's stable internal identifier. Handles get changed; secUid does not. If you are keeping a watchlist, store that.

The interaction settings — comment, duet, stitch, download — are there because creator vetting usually needs them. Whether a creator allows duets decides whether a campaign idea is even possible, and it is not something you can infer from follower count.

Videos

One row per video link or ID you pass. Real output from a run:

{
  "itemType": "video",
  "videoId": "7676868860749827342",
  "requestedAs": "7676868860749827342",
  "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@nasa/video/7676868860749827342",
  "description": "The Moon understood the assignment 🌕",
  "createdAt": "2026-08-22T14:52:29.000Z",
  "durationSeconds": 28,

  "playCount": 498000,
  "likeCount": 54700,
  "commentCount": 913,
  "shareCount": 2114,
  "collectCount": 4036,
  "repostCount": 0,

  "hashtags": [],
  "mentions": [],
  "music": { "id": "7677149386731735821", "title": "original sound - NASA", "authorName": "NASA", "isOriginal": false },

  "authorHandle": "nasa",
  "author": {
    "handle": "nasa", "userId": "7664638705177150477", "secUid": "MS4wLjABAAAA…",
    "nickname": "NASA", "isVerified": true,
    "followers": 1400000, "likes": 6600000, "videoCount": 35
  },

  "isAd": false,
  "isPhotoPost": false,
  "cover": "https://p19-common-sign.tiktokcdn-us.com/…",
  "width": 540, "height": 960,
  "duetEnabled": true, "stitchEnabled": true,
  "locationCreated": "US"
}

playCount, likeCount, commentCount, shareCount, collectCount (saves) and repostCount are the numbers TikTok renders into the page for that video at the moment of the request. author carries the creator's headline counts as of the same request, so a video row is enough for "how big is this creator" without a second lookup. isAd and isPhotoPost are TikTok's own flags.

Input

{
  "handles": ["@nasa", "duolingo", "netflix"],
  "startUrls": ["https://www.tiktok.com/@nba"],
  "videoUrls": [
    "https://www.tiktok.com/@nasa/video/7676868860749827342",
    "https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMabcdefg/",
    "7670634456419519758"
  ],
  "maxItems": 0
}

Option	Notes
handles	@name or name. Merged and de-duplicated with startUrls, so a messy list pasted from a spreadsheet is fine.
startUrls	Profile URLs; the handle is read out of the URL.
videoUrls	Full video links, /photo/ links, share links (vm.tiktok.com/…, vt.tiktok.com/…, tiktok.com/t/…, followed through their redirect), or bare numeric video IDs.
maxItems	Hard ceiling on rows for the whole run, profiles and videos together. 0 = no limit.

You can pass accounts, videos, or both in one run. Each account becomes one profile row and each video becomes one video row.

Pricing

$0.02 per profile and $0.01 per video, on every Apify plan — Free, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond. Check the Pricing tab: all six columns are identical. That is worth checking on any Actor you compare, including this one, because the price a listing advertises in its title is not always the price a free-plan run pays.

Event	Price	What it covers
profile-scraped	$0.02	One account looked up and its full profile returned.
video-scraped	$0.01	One video looked up by link or ID and its counts, caption, music and author returned.

Two events because there are two different pages being fetched and two different things being delivered — a profile page or a video page, one request each. Neither is ever split into several billable events to look tiered; that is the kind of billing trick this Actor exists to avoid.

Being straight about the video price: Actors that pull a creator's whole video list through TikTok's signed API get thirty videos per call and can price per video lower than this. This Actor does not do that — it looks up the videos you name, one page each. If what you need is "every video from this account", buy one of those instead. If what you need is "the current numbers on these specific videos" — a campaign's posts, a shortlist of creator clips, a set of links from a brief — this is the cheaper and simpler tool.

What you are not charged for

	What happens here
Accounts that do not exist	Banned, deleted, or mistyped handles produce one row marked chargedForThis: false. Nothing is billed.
Videos that do not exist	Deleted, private, or mistyped links produce one row with TikTok's own reason (e.g. item doesn't exist (TikTok status 10204)) and chargedForThis: false. Nothing is billed.
Empty or placeholder rows	If the profile or video did not come back, no data row is written. There are no filler rows in your dataset.
The free plan	Same code path, same fields, same limits. No demo mode, no row cap, no nulls in place of data.

What this Actor cannot do

Being straight about this up front so you do not buy the wrong tool:

• No video lists. TikTok does not render a creator's videos into the profile page for logged-out clients — the feed is loaded afterwards through a signed API call. Returning video lists would mean reproducing that signature, which this Actor does not do. Videos are looked up one at a time from the links or IDs you pass. If you have the links, you get the numbers; if you need the links discovered for you, this is not the tool.
• No hashtag pages, no Explore, no search. Those pages load 200 OK for logged-out clients and then render nothing at all. We checked; there is no data in them to extract.
• No comments, no followers, no following lists. Same restriction.
• No private account contents. Private accounts return their public profile shell with isPrivate: true, which is itself the answer to "is this account private". Their videos are not public and come back as not found.
• Photo posts (/photo/… links) are accepted and read from the same page data as videos, with isPhotoPost: true and imageCount set and durationSeconds null. They have been exercised less than regular videos; if one comes back wrong, open an issue with the link.

This delivers less than the largest Actor in this category, and it is priced accordingly — well under half. If you need video lists, buy that one instead; this is the right tool when what you actually need is account-level data for a list of creators, or current numbers for a list of videos, and you would rather pay a small flat rate for exactly that.

What it is good for

• Creator vetting and influencer shortlists — follower and like counts, verification, business status, account age, and whether duets and stitches are even allowed.
• Campaign reporting — paste the links of the posts a creator delivered and get their play, like, comment, share and save counts in one run; re-run on a schedule to watch them move.
• Watchlists — re-run a list of handles on a schedule and diff the counts. Storing secUid means a handle change does not break the series.
• Competitor and brand monitoring — one run covers as many accounts and videos as you pass.
• Enriching a list you already have — handles or links in, structured records out, no per-item clicking.

How it stays working

Profile and video pages are read from the JSON that TikTok itself renders into the page for logged-out visitors. There is no login, no cookie jar, no proxy pool, and no signature emulation, which means there is nothing in the path that breaks when accounts get banned or a signing algorithm rotates.

Measured from a plain datacenter address: twelve consecutive accounts, twelve out of twelve, no throttling. Videos: twelve real videos across five creators, three consecutive rounds, 36 out of 36 with full counts; the one deliberately fake ID in the same runs came back as item doesn't exist (TikTok status 10204) every time and was not charged. Bare numeric IDs resolve without knowing the creator's handle.

Integrating

Every run writes to a standard Apify dataset — REST API, JavaScript and Python clients, scheduled runs, webhooks, and the MCP server for agent use. Three dataset views are provided: Profiles for the headline numbers, Creator vetting for the fields a shortlist actually turns on, and Videos for per-video counts.
