TikTok All-In-One Scraper

The most complete TikTok data extraction tool on Apify. One actor replaces six separate scrapers — pull creator profiles, entire video feeds, hashtag content, playlists, search results across four tabs, follower lists, and full comment threads, all from a single run. No TikTok account needed, no cookies to paste, no API keys. Just add your targets and go.

What you can extract

Profiles

Get detailed creator info for any public TikTok account: unique ID, nickname, bio, avatar URLs, verification status, follower/following/heart/video counts, account creation date, live-streaming status, commerce flags, and privacy settings. Pass one username or thousands — the scraper fans them out automatically.

Posts (full video feed)

Pull a creator's entire video catalog — not just the latest 30. Every video comes with a direct no-watermark download link, engagement stats (plays, likes, shares, comments, saves), hashtags, music info, subtitle/caption data, slideshow images for photo posts, and flags for ads, pinned content, and sponsored posts. Tested against accounts with 16,000+ videos — returns every single one.

Comments

Extract all comments from any TikTok video, including nested reply threads. Each comment includes the author's profile info, like count, creation timestamp, mentions, hashtags, and any attached images. Configure reply depth per comment. Handles videos with thousands of comments.

Search

Search TikTok across four tabs:

• Top — mixed results: videos, users, and hashtags matching your query
• Users — creator profiles matching your search term
• Photos — slideshow/photo posts matching your query
• Sounds — music and audio tracks with play counts, artist info, album art, and usage stats

Each search mode paginates deep into TikTok's results — no artificial caps imposed by the scraper.

Hashtags

Pull all content under any TikTok hashtag. Works with or without the # prefix. Returns the same rich video objects as Posts mode, tagged with the source hashtag for easy filtering.

Followers

Get a creator's follower list with full profile details: user ID, username, nickname, avatar, verification status, bio, and follower/following/video counts. Works on any public account.

Single video

Grab full metadata for one or more specific TikTok videos by URL. Returns the same detailed video object as Posts mode — stats, download link, music, hashtags, subtitles, slideshow images.

Playlists

Extract all videos from a TikTok playlist by URL. Returns complete video objects with the same fields as Posts mode.

Why this scraper

• One actor, every TikTok surface. No need to juggle multiple scrapers for a single project — profiles, posts, comments, search, followers, hashtags, videos, and playlists all run from one input box.
• No-watermark download links on every video. Every video record ships a direct, ready-to-download link. No separate "downloader" tool required.
• Subtitles and slideshow images included. Auto-captions and photo-post slideshow images are extracted automatically wherever TikTok provides them.
• Ad, pinned, and sponsored flags on every video so you can filter organic content from promotions in one pass.
• Zero setup. No login, no cookies, no API keys. Just add usernames, links, hashtags, or search terms and run.
• Auto-detects what you want. Paste a profile link and get profile info. Paste a video link and get that video. Type a phrase and get search results. One input box handles everything.
• Streaming output. Results appear in the dataset as they're scraped — not batched at the end. Abort or migrate at any time without losing data.
• Resilient. Built-in retry logic with automatic recovery from transient failures. State is checkpointed so nothing is lost on platform restarts.
• Fast and cheap. Built for both quick single lookups and large batch jobs. Typical cost is under $0.01 per 1,000 results for most modes.

Input

Field	What it does
input	List of usernames (@handle), TikTok links (profile / video / hashtag / playlist), or search phrases. Mix and match — each entry is handled independently.
mode	Leave on Auto-detect, or force one mode for every entry: Profile, Posts, Hashtag, Video, Search, Followers, Comments, or Playlist. Auto-detect reads @handle as Profile, #tag as Hashtag, a /video/ link as Video, and anything else as Search.
searchType	For Search mode: Top (mixed), Users, Photos, or Sounds.
maxItems	Cap on results per input entry. Set high (e.g. 50000) to get everything available.
includeReposts	Posts mode: also pull videos the creator reposted from other accounts.
includeReplies	Comments mode: also pull nested reply threads under each top-level comment.
maxRepliesPerComment	Comments mode: cap on replies per top-level comment.
cookies	Optional. Paste your browser's TikTok cookie string for deeper search pagination.
proxyConfiguration	Optional. Only needed for Search > Users tab. All other modes work without proxies.

Performance and limits

Mode	Typical depth	Speed
Posts	Full account (16,000+ tested)	~18 videos/sec
Comments	4,600+ per video	~27 comments/sec
Followers	2,400 per account	~21 users/sec
Profile	Unlimited (1 per username)	~3.5 profiles/sec
Video	Unlimited (1 per URL)	~19 videos/sec

Search depth varies by query popularity and TikTok's internal ranking. The scraper paginates until TikTok stops returning results — no artificial limits imposed.

Proxy

Most modes work without any proxy at all. The only exception is Search > Users, which requires a proxy to return results. For that mode, enable Apify Proxy in the proxy configuration input. All other modes — Posts, Comments, Followers, Profile, Video, Playlist, Search/Top, Search/Photos, Search/Sounds, and Hashtag — run without proxies.

API, MCP, and integrations

This actor runs on the Apify platform and works out of the box with:

• Apify API — trigger runs, fetch results, and manage datasets programmatically from any language
• Apify MCP Server — drop it straight into Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible AI agent as a tool
• Webhooks — get notified when a run completes and automatically process the results
• Scheduled runs — set up recurring scrapes on any interval (hourly, daily, weekly)
• n8n, Make, Zapier — connect via built-in Apify integrations for no-code automation
• JSON / CSV / Excel export — download results in any format directly from the dataset

FAQ

Do I need a TikTok account or cookies? No. Everything here is public data — no login required. The optional cookies field can improve search depth but is not necessary.

Can I download videos without a watermark? Yes — every video result includes a direct download link with no watermark overlay.

Does it work on private accounts? No. Only public TikTok content is accessible, same as opening TikTok in a browser while logged out.

What counts as one result? Each video, user profile, comment, or sound returned counts as one result.

Why does Search/Users need a proxy? This particular search tab requires a proxy to return results. All other search tabs and modes work without any proxy.

Can I scrape a creator's following list (who they follow)? No. TikTok restricts this data for public access. This is a platform-level restriction, not a scraper limitation.

How much does it cost to run? Typical cost is under $0.01 per 1,000 results for most modes. See Apify's pricing page for current rates.

Can I run this on a schedule? Yes — use Apify's built-in scheduler to run it hourly, daily, or on any custom interval.

What happens if the run is interrupted? Results are streamed to the dataset as they're scraped, not batched at the end. If a run is aborted or migrated, you keep everything that was already collected. The scraper automatically retries on transient failures — it doesn't give up after one error.

What's the difference between Posts and Video mode? Posts mode pulls a creator's entire video feed (all their uploads). Video mode pulls metadata for one specific video by URL. Use Posts when you want everything from a creator, Video when you want details on specific videos.

Can I mix different types of input in one run? Yes. You can put usernames, video URLs, hashtags, and search terms in the same input list. Each entry is processed independently — the scraper auto-detects what each one is and fetches accordingly.
