FAQ

Do I need a proxy?
Yes, for production runs. TikTok rate-limits datacenter IPs. Apify Proxy with residential IPs gives the best results.

Can I scrape private accounts?
No. Only publicly visible content is accessible.

What's the free tier limit?
10 results per run without a paid Apify subscription.

Does it download video files?
This actor returns metadata and media URLs. Download files separately using the videoMeta.downloadAddr or mediaUrls fields.

Can I scrape comments?
Not in this version. Each row is a video, profile connection, analytics record, or trend item.

How often should I run it?
For trend monitoring, daily runs with mode: trendDiscovery work well. For profile tracking, weekly is usually enough.

Is this legal?
You are responsible for complying with TikTok's Terms of Service and applicable laws. Scrape only public data for legitimate purposes.

What countries are supported for analytics?
Any ISO 2-letter country code supported by TikTok Creative Center (e.g. US, GB, FR, DE, BR).

Tips for best results

1. Always enable Apify Proxy — set useApifyProxy: true
2. Start small — test with resultsPerPage: 10 before scaling
3. Use date filters — oldestPostDateUnified: "30" for last 30 days only
4. Combine modes — run separate jobs for content vs analytics vs trends
5. Monitor spend — set Apify budget limits in Console

---

Responsible use

This actor extracts publicly available TikTok data only. Users must:

• Respect TikTok's Terms of Service and robots directives
