TikTok Scraper - Posts, Reels & Profile Metadata

Turn public TikTok profiles and video links into clean, pipeline-ready metadata in one run. Paste one @handle or dozens — get profile stats once per account, plus post/reel engagement (likes, views, comments, shares, captions, timestamps) as snake_case JSON. Built for marketers, analysts, and automation stacks that need reliable TikTok data without residential proxies.

Note: Only public profiles and videos. Private, geo-blocked, or removed content may return empty rows for that URL (the run still completes).

Why Use This Tool?

• Automate brand & creator tracking: Stop copy-pasting TikTok stats by hand.
• Bulk-ready: Feed many profile URLs in a single Apify run — built for brand lists, not one-off clicks.
• Optional profile metadata: Turn on scrape_profile to add followers, following, video count, and bio once per account — leave it off for a lean videos-only dataset.
• Cleaner downstream data: Consistent snake_case fields for sheets, warehouses, n8n/Make, or your own API.
• Lower ops cost: Lightweight HTTP path — no Playwright browser farm, no residential proxy required.

Why Choose This Actor?

• TikTok-focused: Profiles and direct video URLs in one Actor
• Optional profile row: set scrape_profile: true for media_type: "profile" at the top of each profile’s results
• Date filter (until): Keep only posts newer than a date — perfect for “this month” monitoring
• Soft-fail empties: One blocked URL does not crash the whole bulk run
• Apify-native: Console, schedules, webhooks, API, Make, n8n, Zapier
• PPE pricing: Pay for starts + results — easy to forecast

Features

• Scrape TikTok profile URLs and direct video URLs
• Bulk start_urls in one run (deduped)
• Optional scrape_profile — profile metadata once per profile (followers, following, video count, handle, display name)
• Post/reel fields: caption, likes, views/plays, comments, shares, author, posted time, cover, music title when available
• Optional until date filter (ISO / YYYY-MM-DD)
• Optional Apify datacenter proxy (residential never required)
• Dataset export: JSON, CSV, Excel from the run page

Use Cases

• Social listening & brand monitoring across creator lists
• Influencer vetting — follower counts + recent engagement in one dataset
• Competitive tracking for product / wellness / DTC TikTok accounts
• Content ops — archive captions and URLs for briefs or RAG
• Agency reporting — schedule weekly/monthly Apify runs into Sheets or BI

FAQ

Do I need a TikTok login? No — public pages only.

Do I need a residential proxy? No. Datacenter or none first.

What if a profile has no new posts this month? You still get the profile metadata row so follower/video counts stay fresh.

Can I scrape many brands at once? Yes — put all profile URLs in start_urls for one bulk run.
