What does it do?

TikTok Scraper collects public TikTok data and returns it as clean rows you can export to JSON, CSV or Excel. Give it TikTok links, @usernames, hashtags, sounds or keywords and it pulls videos with full stats, creator profiles, comment threads, follower and following lists, search results and trending videos by category. There's no TikTok account to connect, no cookies and no proxy setup.

How much does it cost to scrape TikTok data?

Job	Cost
1,000 TikTok videos	$0.80
10,000 TikTok videos	$8.00
100,000 TikTok videos	$80
10,000 comments with replies	$5.00

Set Max cost per run in the run options and the actor stops cleanly at that amount.

🆓 Free plan

On the free Apify plan each run returns up to 10 results, so you can check the data before you buy. Comment replies need a paid plan. Any paid Apify plan removes the limit.

⚡ Speed

List modes return about 20 rows per request, so 1,000 videos usually take one to two minutes.

Keywords: search_videos, search_users, search_hashtags, search_music, search_live. No input: trending, hot_search.
urls	One per line: video links, profile links or @usernames, #hashtags, sound links. Short links (vm.tiktok.com) work too.
queries	Keywords for the search modes, one per line.
maxItems	Stop after this many rows per link or keyword (comments include their replies).
includeReplies	In video_comments mode, also fetch the replies under each comment that has 3 or more replies (TikTok, Douyin, Bilibili). Replies are billed as comments. Paid Apify plans only.

Troubleshooting

Liked videos come back empty?

Most TikTok accounts keep their likes private. You get a free hint row instead of data.

Getting no results?

Check that the link or username is public and typed correctly. Private accounts, deleted posts and hidden lists return a free hint row that says why. Keyword modes need the Keywords field, link modes need Links.

Getting fewer results than maxItems?

The platform ran out of items for that input (a small profile, a niche keyword), or the run reached its Max cost per run limit. The log says which one.

Some fields are empty?

Platforms don't return every field for every item. Everything the platform did return is kept in raw.

Video or image links stopped working?

Media URLs from these platforms expire after a few hours. Download files right after the run.

The run failed or shows an error row?

Retry once: the platforms sometimes refuse a request for a few minutes. If it keeps failing, open an issue with the run link and we'll fix it fast.
