TikTok Video Scraper

🚀 TikTok Video Scraper

The TikTok Video Scraper turns any list of TikTok video links into clean TikTok video data: views, likes, comments, shares and saves, the caption with hashtags and mentions, the exact upload time, duration, the music or sound, subtitle links, cover image and the author's profile stats. Paste full URLs, share links (vm.tiktok.com, vt.tiktok.com) or video IDs and export the results as JSON, CSV or Excel. It works like a TikTok API for video stats without a key or an approval process.

🎯 Use Cases

• TikTok analytics for many videos at once: pull views, likes, comments, shares and saves for a list of videos into one spreadsheet instead of opening each one.
• TikTok views counter and stats tracker: run the same list every day and chart how each video's play count grows.
• TikTok engagement rate calculator: every row has plays, likes, comments, shares, saves and the author's follower count, so engagement rate is one formula away.
• TikTok song finder: get the sound behind each video (title, artist, original or not, audio link).
• Influencer and campaign reporting: collect the stats of sponsored posts from creators you work with, with the exact posting time.
• TikTok data for research and AI: captions, hashtags, categories, language and subtitle links for datasets and content analysis.

✨ Features

• Video stats: plays, likes, comments, shares, saves and reposts for every post.
• Caption details: full caption, hashtags, mentions, detected language and TikTok's content categories.
• Exact upload date: ISO timestamp and Unix time, down to the second.
• Music and sound: sound ID, title, artist, duration, cover and audio link, plus whether it is an original sound.
• Subtitles: links to TikTok's caption files (WebVTT) with their language, when the video has them.
• Author stats: username, nickname, ID, verified flag, bio, avatar, followers, following, total likes and video count.
• Photo posts too: slideshow posts come back with type: "photo" and all image links.
• Any link format: full URLs, /photo/ links, mobile links, share links (vm.tiktok.com, vt.tiktok.com, tiktok.com/t/) and bare video IDs.
• Fair billing: the same video pasted twice is saved and charged once; removed, private and invalid links are listed in the status message and never charged.

1. Paste TikTok video links – one per line, in any of the formats above.
2. Run the scraper – each link becomes one row with the video's stats, caption, music and author.
3. Download or connect – export JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull the dataset through the Apify API.

playCount, likeCount and the author counts are the numbers TikTok shows, which it rounds to three digits for big videos (67.8M). saveCount is exact. subtitles is empty when TikTok has no captions for the video, and location is filled only when the creator tagged a place. country is the region the video was posted from. Cover, music and subtitle links are signed by TikTok and expire after some time, so download them soon after the run.

📅 Schedule and Integrate

To track a TikTok views counter or a campaign, save your list of links as a Task and run it daily (or hourly for fresh launches) with Apify Schedules. Every run adds a new snapshot with scrapedAt, so you can chart growth over time. Send the results to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n or your own system through webhooks and the Apify API.

🤖 Use with AI Agents (MCP)

The TikTok Video Scraper works as a tool in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients through the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com). An agent can call it with:

{ "videoUrls": ["https://www.tiktok.com/@zachking/video/6768504823336815877"], "maxItems": 10 }

❓ FAQ

Does TikTok have an official API for video data? TikTok offers a Display API for creators' own accounts and a Research API that requires an application and approval for academic use. Neither gives you quick stats for any public video. This actor takes public video links and returns the same numbers you see on the video page, with no key, no approval and no rate-limit handling on your side.

Do I need a TikTok account? No. Paste public video links and run.

Can I check TikTok views and engagement for many videos? Yes. Paste hundreds or thousands of links in one run and set Max videos at least as high as the number of links. Engagement rate = (likes + comments + shares) ÷ plays, or ÷ authorFollowers for follower-based rates.

What happens with removed, private or invalid links? They are skipped, named in the run's status message and not charged. A run where none of the links works ends as failed, so you notice.

How do I find the upload date of a TikTok video? Every row has createdAt (ISO, UTC) and createTimeUnix, to the second.

Is the video file included? No. TikTok's video file links only work inside the browser session that opened the page, so they are left out. Cover images, the sound file and subtitles are included.

How do I get all videos of a profile? Use the TikTok Profile Videos Scraper to list a creator's videos, or paste their video links here.
