## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. 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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## TikTok Profile Posts Scraper

Scrape a TikTok profile's most recent videos — view counts, likes, hashtags, cover images, and music, with author and engagement stats attached to every post. No login required.

### What you get

One dataset record per video, newest first:

- **Video**: ID, direct URL, description, hashtags, duration, cover image, post date, region
- **Engagement**: play count, likes, comments, shares, saves, downloads
- **Author**: username, display name, verification status, follower count, total video count
- **Music**: track ID, title, and artist
- Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets directly from the Apify console

### Use cases

- Content audits — pull a creator's most recent posts for performance analysis
- Competitor analysis — track what a rival brand or creator has been posting and how it performs
- Influencer vetting — check recent posting frequency and real engagement before a partnership
- Trend research — study hooks, hashtags, and sounds used across a creator's latest videos

### How to use

1. Enter the **TikTok Username** (with or without @)
2. Optionally set **Max Videos** (default 30)
3. Run the actor — results appear in the **Dataset** tab

### A note on coverage

This actor returns a profile's most recent batch of videos — typically 20-33, depending on the account. TikTok's own video feed only exposes that recent batch per request; there is no working pagination cursor to reach further back into a profile's history, so **Max Videos** above ~33 won't return more than the feed actually provides. For a channel's full historical post count and lifetime engagement totals, pair this with a TikTok profile-stats actor.

### Output format

Each dataset record:

```json
{
  "id": "7655004069190192398",
  "webVideoUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@zachking/video/7655004069190192398",
  "desc": "a message to all AI",
  "createTimeISO": "2026-06-24T16:45:49.000Z",
  "region": "US",
  "hashtags": [],
  "coverUrl": "https://...",
  "durationSecs": 28,
  "height": 1280,
  "width": 720,
  "playCount": 64470933,
  "likeCount": 13597858,
  "commentCount": 101719,
  "shareCount": 552355,
  "saveCount": 989167,
  "downloadCount": 22809,
  "musicId": "7655004159753719000",
  "musicTitle": "original sound - zachking",
  "musicAuthor": "Zach King",
  "authorUsername": "zachking",
  "authorNickname": "Zach King",
  "authorVerified": true,
  "authorFollowerCount": 86829981,
  "authorVideoCount": 611
}
```

Need an actual downloadable video file? Pair this actor with a dedicated TikTok video downloader — cover images are included here, but signed CDN video URLs expire quickly and require special headers to fetch.

# Actor input Schema

## `username` (type: `string`):

The TikTok username whose posted videos you want to scrape. Accepts usernames with or without the leading @.

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

Maximum number of videos to return. The profile's video feed only exposes its most recent batch (typically 20-33 videos) per run - this cannot be increased by paginating.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "username": "zachking",
  "maxItems": 30
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

One video per record. Fields: id, webVideoUrl, desc, createTimeISO, region, hashtags, coverUrl, durationSecs, height, width, playCount, likeCount, commentCount, shareCount, saveCount, downloadCount, musicId, musicTitle, musicAuthor, authorUsername, authorNickname, authorVerified, authorFollowerCount, authorVideoCount.

# 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 = {
    "username": "zachking"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("seemuapps/tiktok-profile-posts-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);
});

# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "username": "zachking" }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish

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

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "username": "zachking"
}' |
apify call seemuapps/tiktok-profile-posts-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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