TikTok Search Scraper

Search TikTok videos by keyword and get the results in TikTok's own ranking as clean, structured JSON. Every video comes in full: exact plays, likes, comments, shares, saves and reposts, the caption with hashtags and mentions, the publish date, the creator with follower, like and video counts, the music, cover images, play and watermark-free download URLs, subtitles and TikTok's own topic labels. Pick the region whose ranking you want. No TikTok account, login, cookies or proxies to set up.

Features

• Keyword search - up to 200 videos per keyword, numbered by TikTok's rank (position).
• Region selectable - TikTok ranks search by region; set proxy_country to see what users in that country see.
• Exact engagement - plays, likes, comments, shares, saves and reposts as exact numbers, not "1.2M".
• Full video shape - caption, hashtags, mentions, language, publish date (ISO + Unix), duration, resolution, cover, play and download URLs, quality variants, subtitle tracks.
• Creator snapshot - username, nickname, verified flag, bio, avatar, followers, likes and video count.
• Music - title, artist, original-sound flag, duration and play URL.
• Flags - ad, AI-generated, duet / stitch / comments enabled.

Notes

• Search runs in a real browser session that solves TikTok's captcha on the fly, so one search takes about 15-50 seconds; about 12 videos arrive per scroll.
• TikTok's ranking changes over time and by region, so two runs of the same keyword can differ.
• TikTok often shows US visitors a login wall instead of search results, so searches pinned to US fail more often; leave the region empty or pick another country.
