All notable changes to this Actor are recorded here. Dates are the date the change
was published to the Apify Store.
This Actor follows one rule above all others: existing output keys are never
renamed, removed, or repurposed. New data always arrives as new keys, appended
after the existing ones. If you read the dataset as JSON by key name, no release
below can break you. If you read exported CSV by column position, pin the
columns you need with the API's fields parameter rather than relying on order.
Output grows from 17 fields to 75. Everything added here comes from data the
Actor was already fetching, so no release below costs an extra request or
changes what a run is billed.
clean_url was corrupted on every row. A redaction pass intended for error
messages was also being applied to successful rows, and its patterns matched
the signature segments inside TikTok CDN URLs. Long path segments and the rc=
and l= query parameters were being replaced with [REDACTED], producing URLs
the CDN rejected. Successful payloads now pass through untouched; redaction
still applies to error text, where the risk actually was. Any URL returned
before this release was unusable. Re-run affected inputs.
clean_url_fallbacks and clean_url_alt. TikTok publishes the same file on
several CDN hosts, and the first one sometimes answers 403 Access Denied on a
direct fetch. clean_url_fallbacks lists every URL for the file;
clean_url_alt surfaces the api16-normal-*.tiktokv.us entry, which is usually
more permissive. You can now retry without re-running the Actor.video_variants - every rendition TikTok published, sorted highest bitrate
first, each with resolution, fps, bitrate, file size and URL. Note that
clean_url is not always the highest-resolution option: in a 10-video sample
the top variant was 1080x1920 on every row while clean_url was 576x1024.
Variants are an array inside the one row, never extra dataset rows, so this
does not change what a run costs.origin_width / origin_height - the dimensions the creator uploaded, so
you can tell whether the delivered file was downscaled.status and download_url - a single field to branch on, and an alias of
clean_url under the name most download APIs use.audio_url and audio_url_fallbacks - a direct MP3 URL for the video's
audio track, served as mime_type=audio_mpeg. A URL like every other field
here; the Actor still downloads and hosts nothing. Populated on 10/10 videos in
verification, all of which used original sound - videos on licensed commercial
music may return null.post_type and image_urls - photo and slideshow posts previously produced
a charged row with status: "success", no media URL, and nothing explaining
why, while the slide images sat unread in image_post_info. post_type
distinguishes "video" from "photo", and image_urls returns the slides in
order, using the clean rendition rather than the watermarked copies TikTok also
publishes.- 47 further flat fields promoted out of the nested objects: author (12),
engagement (8), video and file size (10, besides the two above), covers (4),
music (8), plus
hashtags, mentions, subtitles, subtitle_languages and
has_auto_caption. Hashtag extraction is unicode-aware, so non-Latin tags are
returned correctly.
author_following_count, author_heart_count and author_video_count report
null rather than 0 when TikTok does not report them. TikTok's video-detail
response returns these as 0 rather than omitting them, even for accounts where
that cannot be true, and a real 0 is indistinguishable from "not reported".
author_follower_count and every engagement count are unaffected and still pass
through exactly as reported, 0 included.- Proxy region is now a dropdown of 52 regions instead of a free-text field.
Existing values are unaffected;
US is still the default.
pickCleanUrl filters the URL list before choosing. If the first entry of
download_no_watermark_addr is malformed, the Actor now falls through to the
next genuine no-watermark URL in the same address instead of dropping to
play_addr.- Actor title, description, keywords and Store categories updated. The Actor had
been declaring a category constant the platform does not recognise, so it was
absent from category browsing.
- The transcript input is now labelled "Include transcript". Behaviour and price
are unchanged - transcripts remain free.
content_type is declared in the output schema but TikTok's video-detail
response does not return it, so it is absent from every row.has_watermark can read true on rows whose clean_url came from
download_no_watermark_addr. The flag appears to describe the underlying asset
rather than the file at clean_url, but this is not yet confirmed. Treat
clean_url_source as the authoritative answer to "where did this URL come
from".
Initial release. One row per input URL: clean_url, clean_url_source,
has_watermark, url_expires_estimate, caption, timestamps, share URL, and the
full statistics, author, music and video objects, plus an optional WEBVTT
transcript. Typed error_type on failure rows, so a dead input URL still
produces a row rather than a gap.
