## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### Who is it for

| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Content research | Marketers and agencies tracking creators and viral formats in China |
| Trend analysis | Analysts measuring engagement, hashtags and sounds |
| Archiving | Teams saving videos and captions with a clean download URL |
| Enrichment | Builders feeding Douyin post data into their own tools |

### How to use it

1. Copy Douyin video links. The actor accepts desktop links (`https://www.douyin.com/video/...`), share links, short links (`https://v.douyin.com/...`) and raw video IDs.
2. Paste them into **Douyin Video URLs** (one run handles the whole list).
3. Set **Max Videos** and run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.

### Frequently Asked Questions

**What links does it accept?**
Full desktop video links, mobile share links, short `v.douyin.com` links and plain numeric video IDs. Mix and match in one run.

**Is the download URL watermark-free?**
Each record includes a no-watermark `downloadUrl` and a watermarked fallback so you can pick either.

**Does it work for photo (image) posts?**
Yes. Image posts return their picture URLs in **imageUrls** alongside the same author and engagement fields.

**Will I be charged for links that fail?**
No. You are only charged for videos that return real data. Removed or invalid links produce no billable record.

**How fresh are the numbers?**
Likes, comments, shares and saves are read live at run time, so each record reflects the video at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
