## 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

### What does Fast TikTok Scraper API | Influencer Data & Analytics API do?

Fast TikTok Scraper API | Influencer Data & Analytics API extracts analytics-specific public data from live TikTok sources. It uses the target type exposed by this Actor rather than a one-size-fits-all input.

The Actor stores only values fetched during the run. If the platform exposes only page metadata, oEmbed data, or an access-control page, that exact live response is represented; placeholder records are never generated.

### Live targets

Use this Actor for public TikTok pages, profiles, videos, Creative Center pages, sounds, or Shop pages. Public visibility, rate limits, login walls, consent screens, regional restrictions, and source changes can limit specialized fields.

### Input

The packaged input.json is a runnable example for this actor:

```json
{
  "profileUrls": [
    "https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok"
  ],
  "usernames": [
    "tiktok"
  ],
  "keywords": []
}
```

Use the mode-specific URL or query field above. maxItems limits dataset records and maxRequests limits source URLs. includeRawData is disabled by default. Proxy settings are optional and never bypass authentication, CAPTCHA, or access controls.

### Output

Each dataset row is a live record. The following is an anonymized shape example matching fields this actor can emit when the source exposes them:

```json
{
  "platform": "tiktok",
  "actorMode": "analytics",
  "recordType": "profile",
  "username": "examplecreator",
  "displayName": "Example Creator",
  "title": "Example public profile",
  "text": "Example public profile description fetched at run time.",
  "sourceUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@examplecreator",
  "canonicalUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@examplecreator",
  "profileUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@examplecreator",
  "metrics": {
    "followers": 840,
    "following": 120,
    "posts": 75
  },
  "mediaUrls": [
    "https://cdn.example.com/profile/example.jpg"
  ],
  "httpStatus": 200,
  "retrievalMethod": "public-reader",
  "scrapedAt": "2025-01-15T12:01:00.000Z"
}
```

retrievalMethod identifies whether a row came from a direct request, Apify Proxy, or the TikTok public-reader fallback. Missing platform fields stay absent or nullable; they are not filled with fabricated values.

### Run and inspect

Run locally with apify run --purge from this actor folder, then inspect storage/datasets/default. Validate the input form with apify validate-schema. The Output tab links to the default dataset through .actor/output\_schema.json.

### Compliance

Only public responses are processed. Do not use this Actor to bypass authentication, CAPTCHA, private-account controls, or platform permissions. Follow applicable terms, privacy requirements, and laws.

# Actor input Schema

## `profileUrls` (type: `array`):

Public TikTok profile pages to inspect.

## `usernames` (type: `array`):

Public TikTok handles; each handle is converted to a profile URL.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Optional public search phrases for supplemental content discovery.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of live records to write to the default dataset.

## `maxRequests` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of unique public URLs to fetch during the run.

## `includePageMetadata` (type: `boolean`):

Keep a live page record when the requested specialized structure is not publicly exposed.

## `includeRawData` (type: `boolean`):

Include the matching embedded source object when one is exposed. Keep disabled unless needed.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional Apify Proxy or custom proxy settings. The runtime falls back to a direct public request when a proxy is unavailable.

## `debugLog` (type: `boolean`):

Enable diagnostic logs without logging credentials.

## `publicReaderFallback` (type: `boolean`):

Use a public reader after transient TikTok network failures; CAPTCHA and access-control responses are rejected.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "profileUrls": [
    "https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok"
  ],
  "usernames": [
    "tiktok"
  ],
  "keywords": [],
  "maxItems": 10,
  "maxRequests": 5,
  "includePageMetadata": true,
  "includeRawData": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  },
  "debugLog": false,
  "publicReaderFallback": true
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `dataset` (type: `string`):

Dataset containing live analytics records.

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("scrapeai/fast-tiktok-scraper-api").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("scrapeai/fast-tiktok-scraper-api").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call scrapeai/fast-tiktok-scraper-api --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,scrapeai/fast-tiktok-scraper-api"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
