## 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.

# README

## What is TikTok Profile Scraper?

TikTok Profile Scraper pulls **creator profile data** from TikTok in bulk — followers, total likes,
video count, bio, bio link and verification status. **No login, no cookies, no TikTok account.**

Paste usernames, `@handles` or full profile URLs and run it. All three formats work, mixed together.

- **Bulk-friendly** — pass hundreds of usernames in one run
- **Full creator stats** — followers, following, total likes, video count
- **Bio and bio link** — the creator's pitch and their outbound link
- **Verification and account age** — filter to established, credible accounts
- **Runs light and cheap** — plain HTTP on standard proxies, no browser needed
- Export to Excel, CSV, JSON or HTML; schedule it or run it from the API

### What data can this scraper extract?

| | | |
|---|---|---|
| 👤 Username | 🏷️ Display name | 🔗 Profile URL |
| 👥 Followers | ➡️ Following | ❤️ Total likes |
| 🎬 Video count | ✅ Verified | 🔒 Private account |
| 📝 Bio | 🌐 Bio link | 🛍️ Commerce/business account |
| 📅 Account created | 🖼️ Avatar URL | 🆔 User ID + secUid |

### How do I use it?

#### ⬇️ Input

```json
{
  "usernames": ["nasa", "@nba", "https://www.tiktok.com/@khaby.lame"]
}
```

#### ⬆️ Output

```json
{
  "username": "khaby.lame",
  "nickname": "Khabane lame",
  "profile_url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@khaby.lame",
  "followers": 162473028,
  "following": 78,
  "likes": 2648716706,
  "video_count": 1346,
  "verified": true,
  "bio": "…",
  "bio_link": "https://…",
  "created_at": "2020-03-14T00:00:00.000Z",
  "avatar_url": "https://…"
}
```

Usernames that no longer exist are reported in the log and skipped, so one typo never fails a run.

### Common uses

- **Influencer marketing** — vet creators by follower count, engagement and account age before
  outreach; the bio link is often their business site or contact page
- **Agency prospecting** — build creator shortlists by niche
- **Competitor tracking** — monitor rival brand accounts over time on a schedule
- **Audience research** — compare posting volume and engagement across a set of creators

### Frequently asked questions

**Do I need a TikTok account or cookies?** No.

**Do I need residential proxies?** No — it was measured at 14/15 successful fetches on standard
Apify datacenter proxies, so the cheap default is the right one.

**Does it return a creator's videos?** No, and that's deliberate. TikTok does not include a
creator's video list in the profile page — videos load from a request-signed endpoint, which is a
different job and belongs in its own actor. This one does profiles properly.

**What if a username doesn't exist?** It's detected immediately, logged, and skipped. The run
continues and still returns everyone else.

**Is it legal?** It reads publicly visible profile pages with no login. Profile data can still be
personal data, so you are responsible for complying with TikTok's Terms of Service and applicable
privacy law in how you store and use it.
