FIELD	Type		Description
username (default: nickiminai)	String		Username of User to scrap. use when you don't want to use full URL. Use either username or url. Name has higher priority.

Compute Unit Consumption

The actor optimized to run blazing fast and scrape many as listings as possible. Therefore, it forefronts all listing detail requests. If actor doesn't block very often it'll scrape 100 listings in 30 seconds with ~0.03-0.07 compute units.

How to Scrape TikTok User Data

1. Scrape User Data using username

{
  "username": "breannashiveley"
}

2. Scrape User Data using user's ID

{
  "userId": "208464585232822272"
}

3. Scrape User Data using URL to profile

{
  "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@nickiminai"
}

During the Run

During the run, the actor will output messages letting you know what is going on. Each message always contains a short label specifying which page from the provided list is currently specified. When items are loaded from the page, you should see a message about this event with a loaded item count and total item count for each page.

If you provide incorrect input to the actor, it will immediately stop with failure state and output an explanation of what is wrong.

TikTok User Information API Export

During the run, the actor stores results into a dataset. Each item is a separate item in the dataset.

You can manage the results in any language (Python, PHP, Node JS/NPM). See the FAQ or our API references to learn more about getting results from this TikTok User Info API actor.

Ethical Use and Data Practices

Our TikTok Scraper operates without logging in to TikTok. This means it doesn't implicitly accept any of TikTok's Terms of Service (ToS) that require a login, as we only process data that's publicly displayed and accessible to everyone without authentication.

We're fully committed to the principle of privacy by design and by default. All data collected explicitly excludes sensitive personal information or non-public data.

Furthermore, our scraper runs on Apify, an EU-based company, which means our operations are designed to be * compliant with relevant EU data protection regulations*, including GDPR, where applicable. You can find more information about the legality of web scraping on Apify's blog: https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal/

We've implemented robust technical measures to ensure the scraper operates gently and doesn't impose an undue burden on TikTok's servers. Our sole purpose is to facilitate * responsible research and public data analysis*, and we strictly prohibit any use that could cause harm to any party or the platform itself.
