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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 Profile Scraper Get TikTok profile statistics as structured JSON. Followers, following, total likes, video count, bio, avatar and verified status for any public account — no login, no cookies, no TikTok for Developers application. ### What it does Takes one TikTok profile URL and returns one dataset row. No pagination — one input, one record. ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---|---| | `url` | string | yes | — | TikTok profile URL, e.g. `https://www.tiktok.com/@username` | ```json { "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@scout2015" } ```` The URL must contain the `/@handle` segment. A bare `tiktok.com` URL without one cannot identify an account and returns `BAD_REQUEST`. ### Output One row. ```json { "platform": "tiktok", "id": "6745191554350760966", "username": "scout2015", "displayName": "Scout & Suki", "bio": "Two cats. One apartment.", "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@scout2015", "verified": false, "counts": { "followers": 1200000, "following": 312, "likes": 48000000, "posts": 842 }, "avatarUrl": "https://p16-sign.tiktokcdn.com/…" } ``` | Field | Type | Notes | |---|---|---| | `platform` | string | Always `tiktok` | | `id` | string | Platform user id | | `username` | string | @handle without the `@` | | `displayName` | string | Display name | | `bio` | string | Profile bio | | `url` | string | Canonical profile URL | | `verified` | boolean | Verified badge | | `counts.followers` | integer | Follower count | | `counts.following` | integer | Accounts followed | | `counts.likes` | integer | Total likes across all videos | | `counts.posts` | integer | Video count | | `avatarUrl` | string | Avatar image URL | ### Freshness Profile figures are cached for up to **24 hours**. Follower counts move over days, not minutes, and re-fetching hourly would charge you for noise. If you need to detect a follower change within the hour, this is not the right tool. ### What it does not do - **No video list.** This returns the account, not its uploads. - **No follower list.** Who follows an account is not exposed. - **Public accounts only.** Private profiles return `NOT_FOUND`. - **One profile per run.** - **No email or contact details.** TikTok publishes none. ### Pricing Charged per profile. One run, one charge. Failed runs charge nothing. ### Errors | Code | Meaning | |---|---| | `BAD_REQUEST` | Input missing, malformed, or not a URL this actor serves | | `NOT_FOUND` | The target is private, removed, or does not exist | | `UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION` | The URL resolved to a platform this actor does not serve | | `UPSTREAM_FAILED` | Every upstream source failed — retry shortly | | `RATE_LIMITED` | Too many requests; back off and retry | | `TIMEOUT` | The source took longer than the actor's budget | | `UNAUTHORIZED` | The actor's API credentials are invalid — contact the author | | `INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS` | The account behind this actor is out of credits — contact the author | | `INTERNAL_ERROR` | Unexpected failure | `UNAUTHORIZED` and `INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS` are on us, not you. If you see either, the actor is misconfigured on our side. ### How it works Two independent upstream sources serve this operation. If the first returns nothing usable, the second is tried automatically inside the same run — no double charge, no retry on your side. The two sources identify accounts differently — one takes a bare handle, the other the full URL. Both are handled, so a URL that one source cannot use still succeeds through the other rather than failing the run. ### FAQ **Do I need a TikTok account or cookies?** No. **How fresh are follower counts?** Up to 24 hours old. See Freshness above. **Can I get the account's videos?** Not from this actor. **Can I get followers or emails?** No — TikTok publishes neither. **Does a `/video/…` URL work?** Only the `/@handle` part is used, so a video URL from the account also resolves. # Actor input Schema ## `url` (type: `string`): URL of the TikTok profile, e.g. https://www.tiktok.com/@username. ## Actor input object example ```json { "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@scout2015" } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `overview` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
