## 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 Video Metadata, Engagement & Media Variants

Extract rich, analysis-ready metadata from explicit public TikTok video URLs or IDs. Process bulk lists without a TikTok login, cookies, session token, API key, or browser automation.

### 📤 What you get

- stable video ID and canonical URL;
- caption, hashtags, mentions, region, type, and exact publish time derived from the stable video ID;
- creator username, nickname, SecUID, avatar URLs, and canonical profile URL;
- likes, comments, shares, and calculated total interactions;
- duration, width, height, bitrate, aspect metadata, covers, and direct media URLs;
- every exposed video rendition with quality, codec, FPS, bitrate, dimensions, file size, and URLs;
- music ID, title, and author plus download, ad, and branded-content flags;
- optional ready-to-paste embed HTML and `seenVideoIds` checkpoints.

### 🚀 Popular use cases

- analyze engagement and content performance;
- build media catalogs and creator/video datasets;
- select the right rendition for media-processing pipelines;
- enrich CMS, moderation, research, and rights-management workflows;
- monitor video availability without paying again for seen IDs.

### ⚙️ Example input

```json
{"videoUrls":["https://www.tiktok.com/@scout2015/video/6718335390845095173"],"includeVideoVariants":true,"includeEmbedHtml":false,"seenVideoIds":[]}

### 🔌 API & integrations

Run this Actor from the Apify Console, API, CLI, MCP, Make, Zapier or n8n. Replace the Actor identifier and token in this template:

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/tiktok-public-video-metadata/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'
```

Results are stored in the run's default dataset and can be forwarded with Apify webhooks or scheduled Tasks.

### 🔎 Search keywords

TikTok Video Metadata, Engagement & Media Variants, tiktok, video, metadata, engagement, media, variants, public, Apify Actor, scraper API, structured data, scheduled monitor, automation.

### 💰 Pricing

Billing is tied to successfully delivered result events. Empty, filtered, duplicate or failed records are not charged as results. Open the **Pricing** tab for the current per-event rate before starting a run, and use Apify's maximum-charge control to enforce a hard budget.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call snuggly_beanie_970/tiktok-public-video-metadata --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,snuggly_beanie_970/tiktok-public-video-metadata"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
