## Pricing

from $0.20 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### Use cases

- Social researchers can archive public videos saved in TikTok collections.
- Creator teams can review collections shared by collaborators or communities.
- Analysts can compare video engagement across several saved collections.

### How to use

1. Add each public collection ID to `collection_ids`.
2. Set `count` for the number of videos requested per source page.
3. Use `maxPages` and `maxResults` to bound collection size.

```json
{
  "collection_ids": [
    {
      "collection_id": "7394627756635573022"
    }
  ],
  "count": 10,
  "maxResults": 20,
  "maxPages": 1
}
```

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `collection_ids` | Array\<object> | Yes | Public TikTok collection IDs whose videos you want to list. |
| `collection_ids[].collection_id` | string | Yes per entry | Collection ID sent to the source search. |
| `collection_ids[].count` | integer | No | Results Per Page sent to the source search. |
| `collection_ids[].cursor` | string | No | Pagination Cursor sent to the source search. |
| `count` | integer | No | Results Per Page sent to the source search. |
| `cursor` | string | No | Pagination Cursor sent to the source search. |
| `maxResults` | integer | No | Maximum dataset items to save across this entire run. |
| `maxPages` | integer | No | Maximum pages to request for each batch entry. |

### Pricing

$0.30 per 1,000 results. Apify saves one dataset item per result and applies the Actor’s per-result price to saved items.

Pagination follows the source response. Set **maxPages** per batch entry and **maxResults** across the run.

### FAQ

#### Is scraping this information legal?

Rules depend on the source, location, data type, and intended use. Check applicable laws and source terms, and make sure your workflow follows privacy and data protection requirements.

#### What limits apply?

Submit up to 100 batch entries per run. Use **maxResults** to cap saved items and **maxPages** to limit pages for each entry. Results also depend on source availability and your Scrappa API plan.

#### Can I start runs through the Apify API?

Yes. Send a POST request to `https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/thescrappa~tiktok-collection-posts-scraper/runs` with your Actor input, or use an Apify client library. Read the output from the run dataset.

#### Can I connect the results to other tools?

Yes. Apify integrations and APIs can pass dataset results to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, and other data workflows.

#### What happens when one input fails?

The Actor logs a short source error and continues with the remaining entries. Transient rate limits and gateway errors are retried; if every entry fails, the run reports an error.

#### Where can I find a collection ID?

Use the numeric ID shown in a public TikTok collection URL when the collection can be opened without a private account.

## MCP server setup

```json

        }
    }
}
```

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).
