## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

### What does this TikTok Shop search scraper do?

This Actor extracts product data from [TikTok Shop](https://shop.tiktok.com/us) search results in the **United States**. Type a keyword and get back clean JSON for every product: **title, price, original price, discount, units sold, star rating, number of reviews, shop name, seller ID, brand, free-shipping flag, promotion labels and image**.

It returns **about 30–50 unique products per keyword**, with no browser, no login and no API key.

### Why scrape TikTok Shop search results?

- 🔥 **Product research** — find trending products for a niche by **units sold** and reviews, before you source or promote them.
- 💸 **Price & deal monitoring** — track prices, discounts and "Flash sale" / "Limited time deal" labels for your keywords over time.
- 🏷️ **Competitor tracking** — see which shops and brands rank for the keywords you sell under, and how their prices move.
- 🤝 **Affiliate & creator research** — shortlist best-selling products to promote on TikTok.
- 🤖 **Automation** — schedule runs and push results to Google Sheets, a database or a dashboard with Apify integrations, or call it from your own code through the API.

#### Why an Actor instead of doing it yourself?

TikTok Shop has no public product-search API, and its search pages are built for one shopper scrolling in a browser. This Actor collects the products TikTok Shop serves for each keyword, removes duplicates and hands you a ready-to-use dataset.

### How to use this TikTok Shop search scraper

1. Open the Actor and click **Try for free**.
2. Type one or more **search terms** (e.g. `water bottle`, `lip gloss`).
3. Set **Max products per search** (default 30).
4. Click **Start**, then open the **Output** tab or download the dataset as **JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML**.

Run it through the Apify API:

```bash
curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/riseandcode~tiktok-shop-search-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "searchTerms": ["water bottle"],
    "maxItems": 30
  }'
```

### Input

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| `searchTerms` | Keywords, one search each, as you would type them in the TikTok Shop search box. |
| `maxItems` | Products to collect per search term (default 30, max 100). |

#### How many products per keyword?

TikTok Shop serves a limited result set per keyword on the web. The Actor gathers every unique product it shows for the keyword — measured **32–50 per keyword, 42 on average** across 10 popular keywords (e.g. 50 for `led strip lights`, 45 for `lip gloss`, 34 for `yoga mat`). Products come in the order TikTok Shop ranks them, and the same product is never delivered twice for one search. If you ask for more than a keyword has, you get what it has and pay only for that.

### Output

Each product is one dataset item. You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or read it through the API.

### How much does it cost to scrape TikTok Shop?

This Actor uses **pay-per-event** pricing — you pay only for the products you get:

| Apify plan | Per 1,000 products | Per run start |
|---|---|---|
| Free | **$1.65** | $0.015 |
| Starter (Bronze) | **$1.60** | $0.015 |
| Scale (Silver) | **$1.55** | $0.015 |
| Business (Gold) and up | **$1.50** | $0.015 |

For example, 100 keywords × 30 products = 3,000 products cost **$4.52–$4.97** depending on your plan; one keyword with 30 products costs about **$0.06**.

The run start is charged once per run (once per GB of memory if you raise the memory above the default).

Products missing a required field and duplicates are never charged.

#### Tips to keep costs low

- Set **Max products per search** to what you actually need.
- Put all your keywords in one run instead of one run per keyword.
- Use **Maximum cost per run** in the run options to cap what a single run can spend.

### FAQ

#### Is it legal to scrape TikTok Shop?

This Actor collects only publicly available product information that any visitor can see, without logging in. You are responsible for how you use the data — check TikTok's terms of service and the laws that apply to you, and consult a lawyer if unsure.

#### Do I need a TikTok account or API key?

No. Just run the Actor.

#### Which countries are supported?

The **United States** store. TikTok Shop's other web stores (including Brazil) only show their products to logged-in shoppers, so they can't be collected anonymously.

#### Why do I get fewer products than I asked for?

TikTok Shop shows a limited set of products per keyword on the web — typically 30–50. Very narrow keywords can have fewer. You pay only for the products delivered.

#### Some fields come back as `null` — is that expected?

Yes, when TikTok Shop doesn't show them for that product: `originalPrice`/`discountPercent` for products without a discount, `rating` for products nobody has rated yet, `brand` for products without a brand.

#### What's the ideal timeout?

Keywords run in parallel: one keyword takes about 30–60 seconds, and 10 keywords with up to 50 products each took 2 minutes. The default timeout (1 hour) is plenty for a few hundred keywords; if you set your own, allow about 15 seconds per keyword plus a couple of minutes of margin.

#### A search returned nothing — what can I do?

Requests TikTok Shop declines to answer are retried automatically. If a keyword still comes back empty, run it again.

#### Can I schedule it?

Yes — use Apify **Schedules** to run it daily and track prices, discounts and units sold over time, and **Integrations** to send results to Google Sheets, Slack, a webhook and more.

# Actor input Schema

What you would type in the TikTok Shop search box — one search per line. Each term is searched separately in the US store and returns up to "Max products per search".

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

How many products to collect for each search term. TikTok Shop shows a limited set of results per keyword on the web — a search usually yields about 30–50 unique products, so higher values only help for broad terms.
