TikTok Video Scraper

What does TikTok Video Scraper do?

TikTok Video Scraper is a powerful Apify actor that extracts comprehensive metadata from TikTok videos at scale. Simply provide a list of TikTok video URLs and the scraper will return detailed information about each video, including engagement statistics (plays, likes, comments, shares), music details, hashtags, author information, video duration, and creation date. It works by fetching the TikTok video page and parsing the embedded JSON data structures (such as UNIVERSAL_DATA_FOR_REHYDRATION and SIGI_STATE), ensuring you get accurate and up-to-date information directly from TikTok.

Whether you need to analyze trending content, track video performance metrics, research influencer campaigns, monitor hashtag usage, or build a content intelligence database, this scraper provides all the data you need in a clean, structured format ready for analysis and integration with your data pipelines.
