## 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.

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 Repost Scraper (Apify Actor)

Collects public **reposts** from TikTok profiles by opening the profile, switching to the **Reposts** tab, scrolling, and capturing `/api/repost/item_list` responses (same strategy as the standalone Playwright script).

### Input

- **urls** — Array of profile URLs or `requestListSources` objects with `url` (e.g. `https://www.tiktok.com/@handle` or `@handle`).
- **maxItems** — Max unique reposts per profile (default `100`).
- **proxyConfiguration** — Apify Proxy settings. The actor starts **without** a proxy, then falls back to **datacenter**, then **residential** (initial + 3 retries). After residential is used for a profile, later profiles use **residential only**.

### Output

Default dataset: one item per repost, same shape as the original `repost_output.json` (`id`, `desc`, `createTime`, `createTimeISO`, `webVideoUrl`, `author`, `video`, `music`, `stats`, `sourceApi`, `sourceType`).

### Run locally

```bash
cd Tiktok-Repost-Scraper
pip install -r requirements.txt
playwright install chromium
apify run
````

Put `INPUT.json` under the default key-value store (see [Apify Python docs](https://docs.apify.com/sdk/python)).

### Build

Uses `apify/actor-python-playwright:3.12-1.58.0` with `playwright~=1.58.0` (matches bundled browsers). Pins `pydantic<2.12` (Crawlee + Pydantic 2.12), `browserforge==1.2.3` (1.2.4 broke `DATA_FILES` used by Crawlee; see crawlee-python #1718). The Dockerfile keeps the base image `WORKDIR` so `xvfb-entrypoint.sh` runs correctly on Apify.

# Actor input Schema

## `urls` (type: `array`):

📝 Paste TikTok profile URLs or @handles — one per line.

✅ Examples:
• https://www.tiktok.com/@mrbeast
• @creatorname

🎯 The actor opens each profile, switches to the Reposts tab, scrolls, and collects what you see on TikTok (public content only).

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

🔢 Cap per profile — stop after this many unique reposts (great for quick tests or deep runs).

⚡ Lower = faster run. Higher = more scrolling and more rows in OUTPUT.

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

🔐 Apify Proxy helps when TikTok is picky.

✨ How this actor uses it:
1️⃣ Starts without a proxy (simple and fast).
2️⃣ If needed → datacenter proxy.
3️⃣ If still needed → residential proxy (with extra retries).
4️⃣ After that, later profiles stay on residential for a smooth ride.

💚 Turn Use Apify Proxy on here so fallbacks work on the Apify cloud.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.tiktok.com/@mrbeast"
  ],
  "maxItems": 10,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

# 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 = {
    "urls": [
        "https://www.tiktok.com/@mrbeast"
    ],
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("scraperx/tiktok-repost-scraper").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 = {
    "urls": ["https://www.tiktok.com/@mrbeast"],
    "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": True },
}

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

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