Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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 Video Scraper Extract data from any public TikTok video by URL. Provide one or more video links and get back stats, author info, music metadata, and direct download links — no login required. ### What it does Paste in one or more TikTok video URLs and the actor returns a full data record for each one: like counts, plays, shares, comments, saves, the author's profile stats, the music used, hashtags, topic labels, and a signed download URL for the video file itself. ### Use cases - **Content analysis** — track engagement metrics (likes, plays, shares, saves) across a set of videos - **Competitor research** — benchmark a competitor's top videos by performance - **Influencer vetting** — verify view counts and engagement before a brand deal - **Trend monitoring** — collect data on viral videos for market research - **Content archiving** — capture video metadata and download URLs for a library of TikToks ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `postURLs` | `string[]` | ✅ | One or more TikTok video URLs to scrape | | `maxItems` | `integer` | | Max number of videos to scrape (default: `0` = no limit) | #### Example input ```json { "postURLs": [ "https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktokcreators/video/7630922277026090254" ] } ```` Supported URL formats: -
