## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## TikTok Profile Scraper — Followers, Bio, Likes & Engagement

**Scrape public TikTok profiles in bulk: follower count, total likes, video count, bio, and verified status. Just paste usernames or URLs — no login, no cookies, no hassle.**

Built for influencer discovery, social analytics, and competitor tracking. Clean, structured output ready for spreadsheets, dashboards, and AI agents.

---

### What you get per profile

- 👥 **Followers & following**
- ❤️ **Total likes** (hearts)
- 🎬 **Video count**
- ✅ **Verified status**
- 📝 **Bio / signature** + 🔗 **link in bio**
- 🖼️ **Avatar URLs** (thumb + large)
- 🌍 **Region**, account type (**seller / commerce**), **private** flag, create time
- 📈 **Recent videos** (up to 30, when exposed) with play / like / comment / share counts
- 🔥 **Engagement rate** — avg (likes + comments) per video ÷ followers (when videos available)
- 🔗 **Profile URL**

All from a single page fetch — no extra requests. The recent-video list depends on what the public page exposes; when present you also get an engagement rate. You're only charged the videos add-on when a video list is actually returned.

### Perfect for

- **Influencer marketing** — vet creators by reach and engagement before you partner.
- **Social analytics** — track follower growth across many profiles.
- **Competitor research** — benchmark accounts in your niche.
- **Agency reporting** — export creator stats for clients.
- **AI agents** — feed structured profile data into automated workflows and MCP tools.

### How to use it

1. Paste **usernames or profile URLs** (one per line).
2. Run it — export JSON/CSV or pull via the API.

#### Example input

```json
{ "profiles": ["nike", "https://www.tiktok.com/@khaby.lame"], "includeRecentVideos": true }
````

#### Example output (one row per profile)

```json
{
  "username": "nike",
  "nickname": "Nike",
  "verified": true,
  "followers": 8600000,
  "following": 90,
  "likes": 43700000,
  "videos": 1075,
  "bio": "Just Do It.",
  "bio_link": "https://nike.com",
  "region": "US",
  "avatar_larger": "https://...",
  "engagement_rate": 1.24,
  "recent_videos": [
    { "id": "7...", "desc": "...", "play_count": 1200000, "digg_count": 80000, "comment_count": 950, "share_count": 1200, "video_url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@nike/video/7..." }
  ]
}
```

Set `includeRecentVideos` to `false` to skip the video list and engagement rate.

### Pricing

Pay per profile successfully scraped — no monthly fee, no minimum. A small extra event applies per profile when the recent-videos list and engagement rate are returned.

### FAQ

**Do I need a TikTok login or cookies?** No — public profile data only, no auth required.

**Can I scrape many at once?** Yes — up to 500 profiles per run.

**Good for AI agents?** Yes — clean JSON, ideal for MCP servers, n8n, Make, and LLM agents.
