## 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

### TikTok Shop Search Product by Photo/Image

TikTok Shop reverse image search. Find products from a photo using mobile API response structures.\
This Actor is optimized for fast, structured JSON output and supports multiple regions.

**Free Apify accounts:** 10 image searches per user.

#### Key Benefits

- **Visual search:** Find similar TikTok Shop listings from a product photo.
- **Flexible image input:** Upload a file, paste a public image URL, or provide base64 (png/jpg/jpeg/webp, max 2MB).
- **Automatic pagination:** Loads all matching result pages until no more products remain.
- **Multi-region support:** Optional region across 16 TikTok Shop markets.
- **Clean dataset:** Product ID, title, price, currency, discount, rating, sold count, shop ID, and image.

***

#### Input

**A product photo is required.** Provide **one** of `imageUpload`, `imageUrl`, or `imageBase64`. Without an image, the run fails and nothing is charged.

`query` and `region` are optional — they only refine photo results (they cannot be used alone).

```json
{
  "imageUrl": "https://example.com/product.png",
  "query": "mobile",
  "region": "VN"
}
```

##### Parameters

- `imageUpload` (optional\*): Upload a product photo from your device. Used first if provided.
- `imageUrl` (optional\*): Public URL of the product photo.
- `imageBase64` (optional\*): Base64 image (`png` / `jpg` / `jpeg` / `webp`, max 2MB).
- `query` (optional): Text query to refine photo matches. Does nothing without an image.
- `region` (optional): TikTok Shop market filter. Does nothing without an image. Codes: `US`, `GB`, `DE`, `FR`, `IT`, `ID`, `MY`, `MX`, `PH`, `SG`, `ES`, `TH`, `VN`, `BR`, `JP`, `IE`.

\* Exactly one image input is required (`imageUpload`, `imageUrl`, or `imageBase64`).

***

#### Output

Each dataset item is one matching product:

```json
{
  "productId": "1735244291042543036",
  "title": "Sơn Xóa Vết Xước Xe MAZDA 6 Màu ĐỎ ÁNH KIM Chính Hãng DR.Paint COMBO 2 BÌNH",
  "showPrice": "₫441.150",
  "salesPrice": "441.150",
  "originalPrice": "599.000",
  "currency": "₫",
  "discountRate": "26%",
  "rate": "4.8",
  "sold": "128",
  "shopId": "7494693484701977020",
  "image": "https://p16-oec-sg.ibyteimg.com/tos-alisg-i-aphluv4xwc-sg/9848aed65c2847caa5c85ec46c101037~tplv-aphluv4xwc-resize-webp:400:400.webp",
  "productType": "same_type",
  "searchResultId": "1735244291042543036",
  "region": "VN",
  "query": "mobile"
}
```

A full run may include many items across all result pages.

***

#### Pricing

This Actor uses **pay per event** pricing.

| Event | Price | Package |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `image-search` | **$0.10** per image | **100 images = $10.00** |

**Free Apify accounts:** 10 image searches per user. Paid plans are unlimited (billed per successful search).

- Charged once per successful image search that returns at least one product (all pages included).
- Actor start is a tiny platform fee.

***

#### Common Use Cases

- **Find lookalike products:** Match competitor or viral product photos to TikTok Shop listings.
- **Price research:** Compare prices, discounts, and sold counts for visually similar items.
- **Catalog sourcing:** Build a list of similar products by image across regions.
- **Creative QA:** Check whether a product photo returns the expected TikTok Shop matches.

***

#### Notes

- Provide a clear product photo for best matches. An image is mandatory.
- `query` and `region` only refine photo search; they cannot replace the image.
- Some fields (such as rating or sold count) may be empty depending on the product and region.
- Each successful search returns all matching product pages for **$0.10**.
- Run responsibly and ensure your usage complies with applicable platform terms and laws.

});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("rogertkart/tiktok-shop-search-by-photo").call(input);

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call rogertkart/tiktok-shop-search-by-photo --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,rogertkart/tiktok-shop-search-by-photo"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
