FAQ

Is it legal to collect public information?

This Actor is for information visible on the public source pages it reads. You are responsible for checking the source terms, privacy and copyright rules, and the laws that apply to your use.

How many records will a run return?

The result count depends on the input limits, pagination settings and what the source makes available. A small query or unavailable page can return fewer records, including none.

Can I call it through the API or connect it to other tools?

Yes. Send the same JSON input to POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/thescrappa~tiktok-profile-scraper/runs, then read the run’s default dataset. Make, Zapier and n8n can start runs and pass dataset rows to the next step; Google Sheets can receive rows through those workflows or a dataset export.

What happens when a request fails?

Check the run log for the source or input error, correct the input and retry after a temporary source issue. A run can contain rows saved before a later request failed.

Should the TikTok profile input include an @ sign?

Enter the public username in profile as accepted by the Input tab. This Actor returns profile details for that account; it does not search by display name.
