## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### ⚙️ Input Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `scrapeType` | select | ✅ | `user` | `user`, `hashtag`, or `search` |
| `query` | string | ✅ | — | Username (no @), hashtag (no #), or search query |

| `proxyConfiguration` | proxy | ❌ | RESIDENTIAL | Proxy settings — recommended for reliability |

### 💡 Input Examples

**Scrape a user profile:**

```json
{
  "scrapeType": "user",
  "query": "charlidamelio",
  "maxItems": 50
}
```

**Scrape a hashtag:**

```json
{
  "scrapeType": "hashtag",
  "query": "viral",
  "maxItems": 100
}
```

**Search for videos:**

```json
{
  "scrapeType": "search",
  "query": "dance challenge 2024",
  "maxItems": 50
}
```

### 💰 Pricing

This Actor is compatible with Apify's **Pay-Per-Event** pricing. When the synthetic default-dataset-item event is enabled in the Actor's monetization settings, each saved video produces one billable dataset event. Exact prices and any start event are shown on the Actor's Apify Store page.

### 🌐 Proxy Requirements

TikTok may block datacenter IPs. For best results, use **Residential Proxy** (pre-filled by default).

### 📋 Use Cases

- **Influencer research** — Analyze top creators in any niche
- **Competitor analysis** — Track what content a brand publishes
- **Trend discovery** — Monitor hashtag performance over time
- **Content marketing** — Find viral video patterns for inspiration
- **Market research** — Understand audience engagement in your industry

### ⚠️ Limitations

- Only **public** profiles and hashtags are accessible
- The Actor scrolls to collect more results when requested, but the exact count depends on what TikTok exposes for the query and proxy session
- Private, banned, or age-restricted content is not accessible
- TikTok's structure may change, affecting scraping reliability

### 🔌 API Usage

```bash
curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/YOUR_USERNAME~tiktok-profile-hashtag-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "scrapeType": "user",
    "query": "charlidamelio",
    "maxItems": 50,
    "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
  }'
```

### 🛠️ Local Development

```bash
git clone https://github.com/arda-ozkan/tiktok-profile-hashtag-scraper
cd tiktok-profile-hashtag-scraper
npm install
npm run check
```

Node.js 22 or newer is required. Set the `APIFY_TOKEN` environment variable and use `npm run dev` for local runs that use Apify Proxy.

### ⚖️ Responsible Use

echo '{
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,nodeflow/tiktok-profile-hashtag-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
