## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## TikTok Profile Scraper - Followers, Bio & Stats

Scrape **TikTok profiles** in bulk. Paste a list of handles or profile URLs and get one clean row per account with its follower count, total likes, video count, bio, links and verified and business flags. **No login and no API key.**

### What you can do with it

- Pull follower and engagement stats for a list of creators
- Build an influencer shortlist with follower counts, categories and bio links
- Track how an account's followers, likes and video count change over time
- Enrich a list of TikTok handles with profile data for outreach

### Input

| Field | What it does | Example |
|-------|--------------|---------|
| **TikTok profiles** | The accounts to scrape, as handles or profile URLs. | `mrbeast`, `@khaby.lame`, `https://www.tiktok.com/@zachking` |
| **Max profiles** | Optional cap on how many to return. | `100` |

### Output

One row per profile:

```json
{
  "username": "mrbeast",
  "nickname": "MrBeast",
  "userId": "6614519312189947909",
  "secUid": "MS4wLjABAAAAB...",
  "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@mrbeast",
  "verified": true,
  "privateAccount": false,
  "signature": "Watch my latest video!",
  "bioLink": "https://youtu.be/iYlODtkyw_I",
  "followerCount": 129133470,
  "followingCount": 353,
  "heartCount": 1315998340,
  "videoCount": 462,
  "friendCount": 286,
  "region": "US",
  "isCommerceUser": true,
  "category": "Entertainment",
  "avatar": "https://...jpg",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-12T20:00:00.000Z"
}
````

Fill rates on the core fields (username, id, follower count, likes, video count, verified) are ~100%.

### How it works

Each TikTok profile page embeds its full account data as JSON in the page. This actor fetches that page and reads the data directly, so it is fast and needs no browser, no login and no proxy.

### Limits

- Public accounts only. Private accounts return their profile with limited stats.
- This actor covers profile-level data (followers, likes, bio, counts). TikTok walls its per-video list behind bot protection that returns nothing to automated requests, so individual video lists and transcripts are not included.

### Export formats

Results download as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or pull them straight from the Apify API into your own app, spreadsheet or database.

### Frequently asked questions

**Do I need a TikTok API key or login?** No. This TikTok profile scraper needs no API key and no account. It reads TikTok's public profile data directly.

**What data does it return for a TikTok profile?** Username, nickname, follower count, following count, total likes (hearts), video count, bio, bio link, verified status, business/commerce flag and avatar.

**Can I scrape many TikTok accounts at once?** Yes. Paste a list of handles or profile URLs and each profile is returned in the same run, so it works as a bulk TikTok profile and follower scraper.

**Does it scrape TikTok videos or comments?** No. TikTok blocks its per-video list from automated requests, so this actor covers profile-level data (followers, likes, bio, counts), which is reliably available.

**Is scraping TikTok legal?** This tool collects only public profile data. You are responsible for how you use it. Review TikTok's terms and your local laws before large-scale use.

### Pricing

Pay per result. You only pay for the profiles you actually get.

# Actor input Schema

## `profiles` (type: `array`):

Paste TikTok handles or profile URLs. Examples: mrbeast, @khaby.lame, https://www.tiktok.com/@zachking . One row is returned per profile.

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

Optional cap on how many profiles to return. Leave blank for all of them.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional. TikTok profile pages answer without a proxy; add one only for very large runs to avoid rate limits.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "profiles": [
    "mrbeast",
    "khaby.lame"
  ],
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```
