TikTok Scraper: Profiles, Videos, Transcripts & Comments

Give it a list of TikTok creators and video links. Get back each creator's follower and like totals with their full video history, each video's engagement and whether it was a paid promotion, transcripts for the videos you name, and comments with their authors.

Mix creators and videos in the same list. Each entry is routed automatically.

Built for influencer vetting, sponsorship research, competitor tracking and audience analysis.

What it does

• Creators — followers, following, lifetime likes across the account, video count, bio, verification, region and account age
• Video history with real pagination — roughly 30 videos per page and it keeps going, so you can pull a creator's back catalogue rather than just their latest posts
• Paid-promotion flags — every video carries whether TikTok marks it as sponsored, and each creator record totals them up. Gordon Ramsay's last 45 posts included 11 sponsored; Charli D'Amelio's included 1
• Full engagement — views, likes, comments, shares, saves and downloads
• Transcripts — spoken content as plain text for the videos you name
• Comments — author, handle, likes, reply count, and whether the creator wrote it
• Sounds, products and collaborators — the music behind each post, any TikTok Shop products attached, tagged users and co-authors
• On-screen text — the words burned into the video, returned even in the feed
• No duplicates — paginated pages overlap, and repeats are dropped before they are ever charged

Output

One record per entry, carrying type (profile or video), label and status.

Creator records

Field	Type	Description
username, displayName, bio	string | null	Identity
followerCount, followingCount	number | null	Audience
totalLikes	number | null	Lifetime likes across the account
videoCount	number | null	How many videos the creator has posted
isVerified, privacyStatus, location, createdAt		Status and origin
profileImageUrl, externalLinks		Avatar and listed links
videos	array	Each with engagement, hashtags, music and the sponsored flag
videosReturned, sponsoredVideos	integer	How many videos, and how many were paid posts
morePagesAvailable	boolean	Whether the creator has more than you asked for

totalLikes against videoCount gives average likes per video — the quickest read on whether an audience is real, and it needs no extra call.

Video records

Field	Type	Description
videoId, url, caption, publishedAt		Identity and text
viewCount, likeCount, commentCount, shareCount, saveCount, downloadCount	number | null	Full engagement

hashtags, mentions, taggedUsers, collaborators, categories	array	Metadata and co-authors
shopProducts	array	TikTok Shop products attached to the post
music	object | null	Sound id, title, author, whether original, duration
durationSeconds, mediaWidth, mediaHeight		Video shape
thumbnailUrl, videoUrl, images		Media
extractedText	string | null	Text burned into the video
transcript	string | null	Spoken content as plain text
comments	array	Author, text, likes, reply count, creator flag
commentsReturned, moreCommentsAvailable		How many you got, and whether more exist

Every record also carries status: ok, not_found for an account or video that is private or does not exist, or unavailable if the source could not be reached.

Pricing

Event	Price
Video from a creator's feed	$1.49 per 1,000
Creator looked up	$1.49 per 1,000
Video looked up directly, transcript included	$1.49 per 1,000
Extra comment beyond the first page	$1.49 per 1,000
Run start	$0.005 per run

Every lookup costs the same — $1.49 per 1,000 — on every Apify plan. There is no ladder where the headline rate only applies to the largest accounts.

An entry that is not a TikTok creator or video is rejected before any lookup and costs nothing, as are duplicates. Repeated videos and comments across paginated pages are dropped before they are charged.

Worked examples

Totals are rounded to the nearest cent.

Creator shortlist — 20 creators, 30 videos each 620 × $0.00149 + $0.005 = ≈$0.93

Sponsorship audit — one creator, 300 videos 301 × $0.00149 + $0.005 = ≈$0.45

Transcript pull — 400 videos with transcripts 400 × $0.00149 + $0.005 = ≈$0.60

Set Maximum cost per run in the run options to cap spend. The Actor stops cleanly at that ceiling and returns everything it charged for.

Good to know

Transcripts come from videos, not from feeds. TikTok does not serve spoken-word transcripts in a creator's post list — measured across 128 posts from five accounts, none carried one. So point the Actor at the specific videos you want transcribed. The on-screen text (extractedText) does come through in the feed.

The sponsored flag is TikTok's own. It reflects how the post is declared on the platform, so an undeclared paid post will not appear as sponsored. It is a floor on a creator's commercial activity, not a ceiling.

Private and deleted accounts look the same. TikTok reports both the same way, so those records come back as not_found without distinguishing which.

You supply the creators and videos. There is no keyword or hashtag search — this Actor reads what you point it at.

Tips

• Audit sponsorship before you negotiate. Pull 100+ videos from a creator and sponsoredVideos tells you how often they take paid work — and whose.
• Sort by saves, not likes. Saves and shares separate content people wanted to keep from content they merely scrolled past.
• Track a sound, not just a creator. The music object carries the sound's id and author, so you can spot which posts ride the same audio.
• Start shallow. One page per creator is enough to rank a shortlist; go deep only on the ones worth the spend.
• Check videoCount against what you pulled. It tells you how much of a catalogue you actually have.
