📱 TikTok Profile Scraper

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-05

Whether you're a social media manager evaluating influencer partnerships, a marketer benchmarking competitor accounts, or a researcher studying creator growth trends, this actor makes it easy to collect structured TikTok profile data from any public account - no login required.

The TikTok Profile Scraper extracts follower counts, bio, verification status, heart counts, video stats, and recent videos with engagement metrics, plus optional comment extraction for deeper analysis.

✨ What Does It Do

• 👤 Profile details - Username, nickname, avatar, bio, bio link, verification status, and account creation date for every profile
• 📊 Engagement metrics - Follower count, following count, total hearts, video count, and digg count in one structured output
• 🎬 Recent videos - Optionally scrape videos with play counts, likes, shares, comments, duration, music info, hashtags, and mentions
• 💬 Video comments - Extract top comments per video with usernames, like counts, reply counts, and timestamps
• 🔍 Video filters - Filter videos by publication date, heart count range, and pinned status
• 🏢 Account flags - Private account, organization, commerce user, TT seller, and content settings (duet, stitch, download)

🔧 Input

Start by entering TikTok usernames or profile URLs. The scraper accepts any format - plain usernames like charlidamelio, handles like @khaby.lame, or full profile URLs like https://www.tiktok.com/@bellapoarch.

Set Max Items to control the total number of profiles to process. Each profile is scraped individually with full stats.

Enable Include Videos to scrape recent videos for each profile. Videos are nested inside the profile output with full engagement data. Use Max Videos Per Profile to control how many videos per account (default 30, max 500).

Use Videos Published After and Videos Published Before (YYYY-MM-DD format) to narrow the date range. Set Min Hearts or Max Hearts to filter videos by engagement level. Enable Exclude Pinned Posts for chronologically accurate results.

Enable Include Comments to extract comments for each video. Comments are nested inside each video object with username, text, likes, and reply count.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

• 🔑 Do I need a TikTok account? No. Profile data is collected from public pages without any login or credentials.

• 🎬 How does video scraping work? When enabled, the scraper opens each profile in a browser and captures video data as the page loads. This requires more time and resources than profile-only scraping.

• 💬 How many comments can I get? Up to 500 comments per video. Comments are fetched in batches of 20 and include username, text, likes, and reply count.

• 🔒 Can I scrape private profiles? No. Private profiles are automatically skipped with a warning message.

• ⚡ How fast is profile-only scraping? Very fast - 10 profiles per batch in parallel, typically completing in a few seconds per batch.

• 📅 Can I filter videos by date? Yes. Use the Published After and Published Before fields with YYYY-MM-DD format to narrow the date range.
