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 Scraper Extract TikTok videos, profiles, hashtags, followers, and comments at scale — no TikTok account required. Search by keyword, hashtag, or username. Extracts views, likes, shares, author stats, music info, and more. ### What it does - **Search** — find videos by keyword - **Hashtag** — scrape videos from any hashtag - **User** — extract all videos from a profile (sort by latest or popular) - **Followers / Following** — list all followers or accounts a user follows - **Comments** — extract comments from any video ### Output fields | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `video_id` | Unique TikTok video ID | | `video_url` | Direct link to the video | | `description` | Caption / description | | `hashtags` | Array of hashtag names used | | `play_count` | Total video views | | `like_count` | Number of likes | | `comment_count` | Number of comments | | `share_count` | Number of shares | | `collect_count` | Number of saves/bookmarks | | `created_at` | ISO timestamp of upload | | `author_username` | Creator's username | | `author_nickname` | Creator's display name | | `author_verified` | Verified account flag | | `author_followers` | Follower count | | `author_following` | Following count | | `author_total_likes` | Total likes received | | `author_video_count` | Total videos posted | | `author_avatar` | Profile picture URL | | `author_signature` | Bio text | | `video_duration` | Duration in seconds | | `video_width` / `video_height` | Resolution | | `video_thumbnail` | Cover image URL | | `music_title` | Background music track | | `music_author` | Music artist | | `is_ad` | Sponsored content flag | | `is_pinned` | Pinned post flag | When scraping **followers/following**, each result contains: `user_id`, `username`, `nickname`, `verified`, `private`, `follower_count`, `following_count`, `video_count`, `heart_count`, `biography`, `avatar_url`, `profile_url`. ### Input ```json { "scrapeType": "search", "queries": ["cooking recipes", "fitness motivation"], "resultsPerQuery": 100, "profileSorting": "latest", "excludePinnedPosts": false, "includeComments": false, "commentsPerVideo": 20, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ```` #### Scrape types | `scrapeType` | `queries` format | Example | |---|---|---| | `search` | Keywords | `"viral dance"` | | `hashtag` | Hashtag names (no #) | `"fyp"` | | `user` | Usernames (no @) | `"charlidamelio"` | | `followers` | Usernames (no @) | `"charlidamelio"` | | `following` | Usernames (no @) | `"charlidamelio"` | | `comments` | Video URLs | `"https://www.tiktok.com/@user/video/123"` | ### Tips - **Residential proxy is strongly recommended** — TikTok blocks datacenter IPs aggressively - For `user` scrape, `profileSorting: "popular"` returns most-liked videos first - `excludePinnedPosts: true` skips pinned videos on profile pages - `includeComments: true` fetches comments for each video (slower, more data) - Set `resultsPerQuery` up to 2,000 per query ### Use cases - Social media monitoring and trend analysis - Influencer research and audience insights - Content strategy — find top-performing videos by niche - Competitor analysis for brands and creators - Hashtag performance tracking - Academic research on viral content # Actor input Schema ## `scrapeType` (type: `string`): What to scrape: keyword search, hashtag videos, trending videos, user profile, followers/following lists, or video comments. ## `queries` (type: `array`): Keywords for search, hashtag names (without #), usernames (without @), or video URLs for comments. ## `resultsPerQuery` (type: `integer`): Number of videos/users/comments to extract per keyword/hashtag/user. ## `profileSorting` (type: `string`): Sort order for user profile videos (latest or popular). Only applies to scrapeType=user. ## `excludePinnedPosts` (type: `boolean`): Skip pinned videos when scraping user profiles. ## `includeComments` (type: `boolean`): Also fetch top comments for each video (slower, more data). ## `commentsPerVideo` (type: `integer`): Number of comments to fetch per video (if Include Comments is on). ## `minViews` (type: `integer`): Only return videos with at least this many views.
