## 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 Shop US Search API

Search TikTok Shop US by keyword and get a clean product feed with price, cumulative
units sold, rating, review count, seller name, and direct product URL.

### What you get

Each result contains:

- `searchQuery`
- `searchRank`
- `productId`
- `title`
- `productUrl`
- `price`
- `currency`
- `soldCount`
- `rating`
- `reviewCount`
- `sellerName`
- `scrapedAt`

### Input

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["wireless earbuds", "skincare"],
  "maxItemsPerQuery": 50
}
```

`maxItemsPerQuery` is an upper bound, not a guaranteed count. TikTok Shop's public
search inventory varies by query and over time, so a query can return fewer unique
products than requested.

### Why use this Actor?

- TikTok Shop **US keyword search**
- no TikTok login or user cookies
- no proxy configuration required
- automatic continuation through TikTok Shop's public search feed
- product-ID deduplication
- prices and public sales counters on the same row
- API-friendly input and stable dataset schema
- suitable for scheduled market research and machine/agent workflows

### Common use cases

- product discovery
- competitor assortment research
- price snapshots
- bestseller/sales-signal screening
- ecommerce research pipelines
- agentic product research

### Pricing

Pay per event:

- Actor start: `$0.00005` per run (synthetic Apify start event)
- Product result, FREE tier: `$0.00050` per persisted unique product
- Higher-volume paid tiers receive lower per-result prices

The Actor charges only for product rows actually persisted to the default Dataset.

### Responsible use

This Actor collects public-facing TikTok Shop product information. Use the data in
accordance with applicable laws, TikTok's terms, and your organization's policies.
TikTok and TikTok Shop are trademarks of their respective owner. This Actor is not
affiliated with or endorsed by TikTok.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call soilair/tiktok-shop-us-search-api --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,soilair/tiktok-shop-us-search-api"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
