## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Douyin Profile Scraper - 抖音 Creator Stats & Videos

Scrape any public Douyin (抖音, the Chinese version of TikTok) creator: followers, following, total likes, video count, bio, verification label and IP location, plus their posted videos with likes, comments, shares, saves, hashtags, music and watermark-free MP4 links. No login and no Douyin account needed.

### What you get

**One profile row per creator** (`type: "profile"`):

- Douyin ID, user ID, sec_uid, nickname, bio and avatar
- Followers, following, total likes received and number of videos
- Verification label (e.g. 知名美食博主, brand accounts), IP location (province), location and school when public
- Private-account and live-now flags, profile URL

**One video row per post** (`type: "video"`), newest first:

- Video ID and URL, description, hashtags, post date, duration, cover and pinned flag
- Likes, comments, shares and saves
- Music ID, title and artist
- Watermark-free MP4 URL, plus an optional permanent copy in your run's storage

### Use cases

- **KOL vetting and influencer marketing in China**: check a creator's reach, engagement and recent content before a deal
- **Competitor tracking**: monitor brand accounts' posting cadence and engagement
- **Content research**: pull a creator's whole catalog to study formats, hooks and topics
- **Lead lists**: build spreadsheets of creators with follower counts and verification labels
- **Archiving**: download a creator's videos without watermarks

### How to use

1. Paste **Douyin profiles**: profile URLs (`https://www.douyin.com/user/MS4wLjABAAAA…`), `v.douyin.com` share links, pasted share text or sec_uid values
2. Set **Max videos per profile** (0 = profile stats only)
3. Turn on **Download videos (MP4)** if you need permanent copies of the files
4. Run the actor and export from the **Dataset** tab

**Tip:** in the Douyin app, tap **Share → Copy link** on a profile and paste the whole text. The actor finds the link inside it.

### FAQ

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

**Can I look up a creator by Douyin ID (抖音号)?** Use the profile URL or share link instead. Douyin IDs can't be resolved to a profile without a search.

**Why are play counts missing?** Douyin doesn't publish view counts. Likes, comments, shares and saves are included.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "profiles": [
    "https://www.douyin.com/user/MS4wLjABAAAAdW3Q0zPLGjvRq1vFZ-AgkPZh69VtuhEWzz9gsgTvXxIgA4feVGlOVMLI8nLKPeMh"

apify call seemuapps/douyin-profile-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,seemuapps/douyin-profile-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
