Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## TikTok Email Scraper - Creator & Profile Contact Finder **TikTok email scraper** and **creator contact finder**: feed a list of TikTok @handles or profile URLs, enrich each with **no-login** data (followers, likes, video count, bio, bioLink, region, verified), and recover a **contact email** from the bio text and the creator's linked website / Linktree. Built for **lead generation**, influencer-marketing outreach, sponsorship prospecting and B2B-to-creator sales. Keywords: tiktok email scraper, tiktok creator email, tiktok profile scraper, influencer email finder, tiktok lead generation, bulk tiktok contact scraper. ### Why this works without a logged-in account A public TikTok profile page (`tiktok.com/@handle`) embeds a JSON blob (`__UNIVERSAL_DATA_FOR_REHYDRATION__`) with the bio, bioLink, follower/like/video counts, verified flag and region β€” all readable without an account or the a_bogus-signed API. Emails come from the bio text and the bioLink (no login). Validated live from a US residential IP: profile enrichment is reliable; bio/linked-site email recovery lands a real creator email for a meaningful share of profiles (the rest expose only social links or no public email). > **Scope:** this is the URL/handle-list build. Discovery-by-niche on TikTok requires the > a_bogus-signed search/hashtag API (out of scope here); bring your handle list, or resolve > handles from the YouTube/cross-platform actors in the family. ### Input | field | meaning | |---|---| | `profileUrls` | TikTok profile URLs (`https://www.tiktok.com/@handle`) | | `usernames` | bare `@handles` / usernames (merged with the URL list) | | `minFollowers` | drop profiles below this follower count (lead quality filter) | | `scrapeEmails` | recover an email from bio + linked site (default true) | | `concurrency` | profiles processed in parallel (default 5) | | `proxyConfiguration` | residential proxy recommended; TikTok rate-limits datacenter IPs | ### Output (one item per profile) ```json { "handle": "garyvee", "nickname": "GaryVee", "profileUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@garyvee", "followers": 15400000, "following": 284, "likes": 368800000, "videoCount": 6325, "verified": true, "region": "US", "bio": "Creator and CEO of @veefriends ...", "bioLink": "http://veefriends.com/comics", "emails": ["team@veefriends.com"] } ```` ### Pricing (PAY\_PER\_EVENT) Register in the Apify console (names must match `Actor.charge`). Calibrated against measured platform cost (~$0.004/profile with residential proxy) and competitor prices: | event | suggested price | when | |---|---|---| | `profile-scraped` | $0.008 | every profile returned | | `email-found` | $0.03 | only when an email is recovered | Effective ~$0.017/profile at a ~30% email hit rate β€” mid-market (below jurassic\_jove / exporter24 at ~$0.02, above the bargain scraper-mind at $0.0025). Even a no-email profile nets positive at $0.008. ### Run locally ```bash mkdir -p storage/key_value_stores/default cp .actor/input.example.json storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json APIFY_LOCAL_STORAGE_DIR="$PWD/storage" \ uv run --with apify --with "httpx[http2]" python -m src.main ``` Pass `"proxyConfiguration": {"useApifyProxy": false}` to go direct from a residential machine. ### Deploy ```bash apify push ``` ### Roadmap - **Discovery** (Path B): a\_bogus-signed search/hashtag to find creators by niche. - Family: shares the enrichβ†’email engine with the YouTube creator-email actor; an Instagram build needs a logged-in session (Instagram gates profile data) and is a separate effort. # Actor input Schema ## `profileUrls` (type: `array`): TikTok profile URLs (https://www.tiktok.com/@handle). One per item. ## `usernames` (type: `array`): Alternatively, bare @handles or usernames (e.g. garyvee). Merged with the URL list. ## `minFollowers` (type: `integer`): Drop profiles below this follower count (0 = no filter). Quality filter for lead lists. ## `scrapeEmails` (type: `boolean`): Recover a contact email from the bio text and the creator's bioLink / Linktree (best-effort, no login). ## `concurrency` (type: `integer`): Number of profiles processed in parallel (1-20). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Residential proxy strongly recommended; TikTok rate-limits datacenter IPs. ## Actor input object example ```json { "profileUrls": [ "https://www.tiktok.com/@garyvee" ], "minFollowers": 0, "scrapeEmails": true, "concurrency": 5, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "profileUrls": [ "https://www.tiktok.com/@garyvee" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("ritaya/tiktok-email-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`πŸ’Ύ Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // πŸ“š Want to learn more πŸ“–?
