How to use

1. Open the Actor on Apify Console.

3. Click Start.
4. When the run finishes, open the Dataset tab and click any downloadUrl — or export the whole dataset as JSON/CSV.

Quickstart — minimal input

{
  "videoUrls": [
    "https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7106594312292453675"
  ]
}

Batch input — mixed formats

{
  "videoUrls": [
    "https://www.tiktok.com/@jtbcnews_official/video/7628806976562072852",

    "7628806976562072852"

}

Tip — No other settings to tune. If a field isn't listed in Input, this Actor doesn't use it.

Input

The Actor takes a single required field.

Field	Type	Required	Description
videoUrls	string[]	✅	TikTok video URLs or raw numeric IDs. Canonical URLs, vm.tiktok.com short links, and bare IDs are all accepted. Minimum 1 item.

---

Output

Each input URL becomes one dataset row. Failed items are logged and skipped — they don't appear in the dataset, so you're never billed for errors.

Key fields

Field	Type	What it is
downloadUrl	string	The direct link to the MP4. Open in a browser, or curl -o video.mp4 "<downloadUrl>". Valid for 24 hours.
downloadStatus	"success" | "error"	Successful rows have downloadUrl populated. Error rows are excluded from the dataset (logged only).
id	string	TikTok video numeric ID.
url	string	Canonical https://www.tiktok.com/@user/video/ID URL.
description	string	Video caption text.
author	object	{ username, nickname, url }
statistics	object	{ views, likes, comments, shares }
hashtags	string[]	Hashtags extracted from the caption.
duration	number	Video length in seconds.
uploadedAt	integer	Upload time as unix seconds.
fileSizeBytes	integer	Size of the MP4 at downloadUrl.

Downloading files from the command line

# Export dataset as JSON, then stream each downloadUrl to disk
apify call paul_44/tiktok-download-pro \
  --input '{"videoUrls":["7628806976562072852"]}' \
  --output-dataset results.json

jq -r '.[] | .downloadUrl' results.json | \
  xargs -I {} -P 4 curl -sSLO {}

Pricing

You pay only for successful downloads. Failed items (invalid URL, private video, region block) are logged but excluded from the dataset and not billed.

Apify platform usage — compute units, residential proxy traffic, storage — is billed separately per your Apify plan.

A paid Apify plan is required because residential proxies are needed to reach TikTok reliably. Free plans cannot run this Actor.

---

Limitations

• Private, deleted, or age-restricted videos cannot be downloaded.
• Region-locked content — some broadcaster and brand accounts (e.g. Korean news outlets) are hidden by TikTok's WAF. The Actor auto-retries through a regional proxy, but a small fraction still fails. Failures are reported in the run log, not billed.
• Download links expire after 24 hours. Re-run the Actor for a fresh link.
• IP-level rate limits — TikTok occasionally rate-limits a specific proxy IP. Re-running the Actor rotates IPs and almost always works on the second attempt.
