What you get, in one line

A flat, normalized dataset row per public video on the profile, with engagement counters, a guaranteed-shape clean_url field for no-watermark MP4 access (and a clean_url_source that tells you exactly which upstream field it came from), correctly mapped pinned/ad/shop flags, carousel slideshow images, music attribution, author info, and a _metadata block with provenance.

---

What's included

• One bulk Profiles field that accepts URLs, handles, and user_ids in any combination
• Auto-detection per row - paste 200 mixed entries, the Actor figures each one out
• Pagination handled internally up to your per-profile cap (max 1000 per profile)
• No-watermark URL precedence: dedicated no-watermark address first, play address fallback when watermark is absent, explicit null when neither is safe
• Carousel (photo slideshow) support with extracted slideshow_images[]
• Pinned post detection via is_pinned
• Ad detection via is_ad (correctly wired - many scrapers miswire this as is_ads and silently return nothing)
• TikTok Shop promo detection via is_shop_promo
• Music attribution (title, author, ID) on every video
• Author metadata (handle, display name, follower count, verified) on every video
• Per-profile error isolation - one bad handle in a bulk run does not kill the rest
• Retries with exponential backoff on transient upstream errors
• Dataset views preconfigured in the Apify UI: Overview, Engagement, Downloads, Errors

---

Free plan limit

Free Apify users get up to 50 results per run. Paying users are not affected and receive results normally.

This limit was set by the Actor developer, not by Apify. To remove it and receive unlimited results, upgrade to any paid Apify plan: https://apify.com/pricing

When a free plan run hits the cap, the Actor finishes successfully (status SUCCEEDED) and the run's status message explains what happened. No error is raised, so the first 50 results are fully usable as normal.

---

Hero use case

A content analyst auditing 50 competitor TikTok creators: pull every video for each with normalized fields (views, likes, no-watermark URL, ad flag, shop-promo flag, slideshow images). Clean dataset, ready for analysis. No JSON debugging.

Error isolation in bulk runs	Per-profile error rows	Crashes the run	Crashes the run
Price	Premium tier	Cheapest in category	Low

Our cost is 5-8x competitors because we charge above our supplier break-even, where they sell at a loss. We're sustainable; they're not. Buy this Actor if your downstream pipeline is more expensive than the scrape.

---

Use cases

• Content competitive analysis - audit 50+ competitor creators in one run, see who posts what cadence and what works
• AI/RAG pipelines requiring clean structured data - skip the schema-mapping step entirely
• Brand audit reports - normalized fields drop straight into client deliverables
• Influencer vetting and evaluation - pair video output with is_ad and is_shop_promo to see real sponsored cadence vs. claimed organic content
• Content swipe files - reliable clean_url means your reference library does not break on watermark removal failures
• UGC aggregation for sanctioned brand campaigns
• Compliance archiving for regulated industries (finance, healthcare, public sector communications)
• Academic research on content patterns, engagement trends, ad-load measurement, slideshow vs video format prevalence
• Trend tracking - sort by popular, watch breakout videos surface
• Music/sound attribution mapping - every row carries the music block so you can map sound usage across creators

---

Quick start

1. Click Try for free on the Actor's page
2. Paste one or more TikTok profiles into the Profiles field (URLs, handles, or user_ids - mix freely)
3. Optionally set sort_by, max_items_per_profile, region, trim
4. Run the Actor
5. Download results as JSON, CSV, or XLSX, or pull via Apify API

---

Inputs

One unified profiles field accepts every common form of TikTok profile identifier. Mix and match in the same run.

Input	Type	Required	Description
profiles	array of strings	Yes	Bulk list of profiles. Each entry can be a profile URL, a handle (with or without @), or a numeric user_id. Auto-detected per entry.
sort_by	enum	No	latest or popular. Default latest
max_items_per_profile	integer	No	Hard cap per profile. Default 100, max 1000
region	string	No	2-letter ISO country code. Default US
trim	boolean	No	Slim response shape. Default false

Accepted profiles entries

stoolpresidente
@stoolpresidente
https://www.tiktok.com/@stoolpresidente
https://www.tiktok.com/@stoolpresidente/video/7312345678901234567
www.tiktok.com/@stoolpresidente
6659752019493208069

• Numeric strings of 6+ digits are treated as user_id (faster path).
• Anything containing tiktok.com or starting with http(s):// is parsed as a URL; the @handle segment is extracted.
• Everything else handle-safe is treated as a bare handle.
• Invalid entries are skipped with a warning, not a crash. Duplicates within the same run are deduplicated.

---

Output schema

Each video becomes one flat dataset row. Top-level fields:

Field	Type	Description
source	string	Always "tiktok_post" for identifying this Actor's rows in mixed datasets
id	string	TikTok aweme ID (same as aweme_id)

Error rows

If a single profile fails (private, banned, network error, bad input), the run continues and emits an error row instead of crashing. Error rows have the shape:

{
  "error": { "message": "...", "status": 404 },
  "_metadata": {
    "source_endpoint": "/v3/tiktok/profile/videos",
    "page": 0,
    "fetched_at": "2026-06-05T15:30:01.482Z",
    "input_identifier": "deleted_account_handle"
  }
}

---

Dataset views (Apify UI)

The dataset is pre-configured with four views you can switch between in the Apify Console:

• Overview - the most useful fields per video (id, url, type, caption, stats, clean_url, thumbnail, flags, author). Best for browsing.
• Engagement metrics - flattened stats (stats.views, stats.likes, ...) plus author handle and follower count. Best for spreadsheets and BI tools.
• Download links - clean_url, clean_url_source, alternates, dimensions, thumbnail, slideshow images. Best for asset workflows.
• Errors - filtered to error rows only. Best for triaging bulk runs.

---

How the clean_url field is chosen

if download_no_watermark_addr.url_list[0] exists:
    clean_url = that
    clean_url_source = "download_no_watermark_addr"

else if play_addr.url_list[0] exists AND has_watermark is false:
    clean_url = play_addr.url_list[0]
    clean_url_source = "play_addr"

else:
    clean_url = null
    clean_url_source = "none"

You always know what you got and why. Three states - never a silent string in the wrong field.

URL lifecycle and validity

The no-watermark URLs are signed CDN URLs with limited validity:

• Typically valid for 24-72 hours from extraction (TikTok varies this)
• URLs include cryptographic signatures - modifying them breaks them
• Cannot be saved indefinitely - they expire on TikTok's schedule
• Fetch the asset promptly if you intend to keep it

Don't build features that assume URLs are permanent.

---

How flag detection works

Flag	Mapped from	Notes
is_pinned	Upstream is_top === 1	Pinned posts surface first in latest sort
is_ad	Upstream is_ad === true	Correctly named - many scrapers miswire this as is_ads and silently get nothing
is_shop_promo	Upstream is_eligible_for_commission	True when the post is eligible for TikTok Shop commission

---

How photo carousels are handled

Carousel posts have type: "carousel" and a populated slideshow_images[] array of image URLs. Single-photo posts have type: "photo". Video posts have type: "video". Carousels still carry music, caption, stats, and flags like any other post.

---

Bulk mode behavior

• All entries in profiles are deduplicated by (kind, value) before any requests are made
• Profiles are processed sequentially with independent error scopes - one failure does not stop the rest
• Each profile honors max_items_per_profile independently
• Free plan total cap (50 items) applies across the whole run, not per profile

---

Pagination behavior

The Actor walks the upstream cursor (max_cursor / has_more) until one of:

1. The upstream returns has_more: false
2. max_items_per_profile is reached
3. The free plan global cap (50) is reached
4. The cursor stops advancing (defensive guard against loops)

Pages are 1-indexed in _metadata.page so you can trace which page any row came from.

---

Error handling

Class	Behavior
Transient upstream (429, 502, 503, 504)	Retry 3x with 1s / 2s / 4s exponential backoff
Network error	Same retry policy, then surface as an error row for that profile
4xx on a single profile (404, etc.)	Surface as an error row, continue with remaining profiles
Invalid input row (bad URL, garbage string)	Skipped with a log warning, not surfaced as error row
Missing API key env var	Run exits cleanly with a status message; no crash
Cap reached	Run finishes SUCCEEDED with a clear status message

---

Performance and reliability

• Concurrency: pagination within a single profile is sequential; profiles in bulk mode are processed sequentially with independent error scopes
• Retries: 3 attempts with 1s / 2s / 4s exponential backoff on transient codes
• Timeout per request: 60 seconds
• No login or cookies required - public-data only, no account state on your side
• User-Agent: OpusScale-Apify/1.0

FAQ

Q: Why is this more expensive than scrapeforge or novi? A: Because we charge above break-even on our supplier costs, where they sell at a loss. We're built to keep running; they're priced to win first-month signups. If you're shipping a real pipeline, the difference is rounding-error vs. data-quality work.

Q: What's the output difference? A: Commodity scrapers return raw aweme JSON (~150 undocumented fields). This Actor returns a flat, normalized schema with named, typed fields, an explicit clean_url field, a clean_url_source showing where that URL came from, and slideshow handling built in. Compare the two payloads in the Sample output section above.

Q: How reliable is the no-watermark URL? A: We implement explicit precedence: first try the dedicated no-watermark address, then fall back to the play address when watermark is absent, otherwise emit clean_url: null and tell you clean_url_source is none. You always know what you got and why. See How the clean_url field is chosen above.

Q: How long are the no-watermark URLs valid? A: Typically 24-72 hours. They're signed CDN URLs and expire on TikTok's schedule. Fetch the asset promptly if you intend to archive it. Don't build features that assume the URL is permanent.

Q: How many videos can I pull per profile? A: Up to 1000 per profile per run via max_items_per_profile. Default is 100. Free Apify users are additionally capped at 50 total items per run (see Free plan limit above).

Q: What about pinned posts? A: The is_pinned field is true for pinned videos. Mapped from the raw is_top flag for you.

Q: How accurate is ad detection? A: Ads are surfaced via is_ad (the correct field name - many scrapers miswire this as is_ads and silently return nothing). Shop promotions are surfaced separately via is_shop_promo.

Q: What about photo carousels? A: Carousels appear with type: "carousel" and a populated slideshow_images[] array. Single-photo posts get type: "photo". Both still carry music, caption, stats, and flags.

Q: Should I use a handle or a user_id in profiles? A: user_id is faster. If you have it cached, prefer it. Otherwise a handle or URL is fine.

Q: Can I mix URLs, handles, and user_ids in the same run? A: Yes - that's the point of the single profiles field. The Actor auto-detects each row.

Q: What if one of my bulk handles is private or deleted? A: That profile gets an error row in the dataset and the run keeps going. Other profiles are unaffected.

Q: Do I need to log in to TikTok? A: No. This Actor accesses publicly visible video data only. No credentials required from you.

Q: How are private accounts handled? A: Private accounts surface as error rows with status info. You'll see them in the Errors dataset view.

Q: What if TikTok rate-limits the request? A: The Actor retries up to 3 times with exponential backoff (1s, 2s, 4s). Persistent rate limits surface as an error row for that profile.

Q: Is this legal? A: This Actor returns publicly visible data. Your downstream use is your responsibility - in particular, the full Terms of Service and the Actor-Specific Addendum below cover redistribution, AI training, and minor-protection restrictions you must respect.

Q: Can I use this data to train AI? A: No. TikTok's Terms explicitly prohibit AI training on TikTok data, and creators retain copyright in their videos. See the Addendum, section J.

Q: What about minors? A: TikTok has many under-18 users. This Actor's Terms strictly prohibit using data of users you know or suspect are minors. See Addendum, section K.

Q: Does this Actor work with TikTok Shop content? A: Yes - eligible posts surface as is_shop_promo: true. The Actor does not currently scrape Shop product detail pages.

Q: Can I download the videos? A: The Actor returns the URL in clean_url. Downloading the asset is your responsibility - and your downstream use must comply with TikTok's Terms and creator copyright. See Addendum, section F.

Version: 4.0 Effective Date: May 5, 2026

---

0. ACCEPTANCE BY USE - IMPORTANT

Read this section first.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding legal agreement between you ("User," "you," "your") and UnseenUser, the Publisher of this Apify actor ("UnseenUser," "the Publisher," "we," "us," "our").

0.1 How You Accept These Terms

You accept these Terms by any of the following actions, each of which constitutes a clear, affirmative act of acceptance:

• (a) Running the Actor - Initiating any execution of the Actor on the Apify platform
• (b) Using any output returned by the Actor for any purpose
• (c) Continuing to access the Actor's listing or documentation after these Terms are visible

0.2 Continuing Acceptance

PREAMBLE - UNDERSTANDING THE ARCHITECTURE

Before using the Actor, please understand the technical architecture of the service:

The Data Flow

You (User) -> Apify Platform -> Actor (software) -> Backend data service -> Source Platform
                                                            |
You (User) <- Apify Platform <- Actor (software) <- Backend data service

What Each Party Does

• You (the User): Run the Actor on the Apify platform with input parameters you choose.
• Apify: Operates the cloud infrastructure that hosts and executes Actors. Apify is a Czech-incorporated company (Apify Technologies s.r.o.) governed by its own Terms of Service.
• The Publisher (us): Publishes software code (the Actor) on Apify's platform. The Actor is a thin wrapper that translates your input into requests to a backend data service and returns its responses to you. The Publisher does not operate scraping infrastructure. The Publisher does not store or retain data returned by the Actor. The Publisher does not see, log, or process the personal data of any individuals returned in the Actor's outputs beyond what is incidental to passing the data through.
• Backend data service provider: An independent third-party company that operates the data infrastructure used by the Actor.
• Source Platform: TikTok, in this Actor's case. The platform whose publicly visible data is accessed by the backend data service provider.

Why This Matters

Your relationship with the Publisher is that of a software user to a software vendor. The Publisher has the responsibilities of a software vendor (functional code, accurate documentation) and the limits of one (the Publisher is not responsible for how you use the data you obtain).

---

These Terms operate alongside but do not replace:

• Apify's Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy (governing your relationship with Apify)
• The backend data service provider's Terms of Service (governing the underlying data infrastructure)
• Source Platform terms (TikTok, etc.) governing the public data accessed
• Applicable law in your jurisdiction and the jurisdictions of data subjects

These Terms incorporate the actor-specific addendum published in each Actor's individual listing ("Addendum"). In the event of a conflict, the more restrictive provision applies.

---

1. NATURE OF THE SERVICE

1.1 What the Actor Is

The Actor is a software program published on the Apify platform. The Actor:

• (a) Accepts structured input from you on the Apify platform
• (b) Translates that input into requests to a backend data service operated by an independent third-party company
• (c) Receives responses from that backend data service
• (d) Returns the response data to you in a structured format on the Apify platform

The Actor's source code is hosted on Apify's infrastructure. The Actor runs in Apify's cloud, not on the Publisher's servers. The Publisher operates no servers running the Actor.

1.2 What the Actor Is Not

The Actor is not:

• (a) A scraping tool - the Publisher does not operate scraping infrastructure, proxies, headless browsers, or fake accounts
• (b) A direct connection to any source platform - connections to source platforms are made by the backend data service provider
• (c) A data storage or data retention service - the Publisher does not maintain a database of any data the Actor returns
• (d) A licensed access channel to TikTok or any other source platform
• (e) Affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or authorized by any source platform

1.3 The Publisher's Limited Role

The Publisher's role is limited to:

• (a) Designing and writing the Actor's source code
• (b) Publishing the Actor on the Apify Store
• (c) Maintaining the Actor (updating it when backend providers change schemas)
• (d) Providing documentation and customer support via Apify's contact mechanism

The Publisher is a software vendor, similar to a developer who publishes an app on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The Publisher is not a data provider, data broker, data processor, or data controller for purposes of GDPR, CCPA, Israel's Privacy Protection Law, or equivalent.

1.4 The Backend Data Service Provider's Role

The backend data service provider is an independent third-party company. They:

• (a) Operate the actual data infrastructure
• (b) Maintain relationships with source platforms (or accept the operational risk of accessing public data without such relationships)
• (c) Provide their own Terms of Service governing their operations
• (d) Are responsible for compliance obligations relating to the data collection itself

The Publisher is a customer of the backend data service provider. The Publisher is not their agent, partner, or representative.

---

• (b) You have legal capacity to enter into binding contracts
• (c) You are not located in or resident of a country subject to comprehensive sanctions by the United States, European Union, United Kingdom, or Israel
• (d) You are not on any prohibited persons list

2.2 User Representations

By using the Actor, you represent and warrant that:

The Actor accesses publicly visible data on TikTok ("the Source Platform") through the backend data service provider.

5.2 Your Sole Responsibility

You acknowledge:

• (a) You are solely responsible for ensuring your downstream use of data obtained through the Actor complies with the Source Platform's Terms of Service
• (b) The Publisher makes no representation that any specific use is permitted under any Source Platform's terms
• (c) The backend data service provider, not the Publisher, bears responsibility for the lawfulness of the data collection itself

6. DATA PROTECTION - REFLECTING ACTUAL ARCHITECTURE

6.1 Roles Under Privacy Law

For purposes of GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA, Israel's Privacy Protection Law (PPL) including Amendment 13, and equivalents:

• You (the User) are the Data Controller of any personal data you obtain through the Actor and subsequently process for your own purposes
• The backend data service provider is the entity that collects data from source platforms - they bear the responsibilities of a data processor or controller (depending on context) for the collection itself
• The Publisher acts solely as a software vendor, not as a data controller or processor, because the Publisher does not store, retain, or substantively process personal data - the Actor merely passes responses through

6.2 No Data Retention by the Publisher

The Publisher confirms:

• (a) The Publisher does not maintain a database of personal data obtained through the Actor
• (b) The Actor passes data from the backend data service directly to you on the Apify platform - data does not flow through the Publisher's infrastructure
• (c) Apify's standard execution and operational logging may include limited information about Actor runs (input parameters, run duration, data volume) - this is governed by Apify's own privacy practices
• (d) The Publisher does not access, view, or analyze your Actor outputs except as needed for technical support if you specifically share them with the Publisher

6.3 Your Obligations as Data Controller

Where your use of the Actor involves processing personal data, you are responsible for:

• (a) Establishing a lawful basis for your processing (consent, legitimate interest with documented balancing test, contract, etc.)
• (b) Providing transparent notice to data subjects as required by applicable law
• (c) Honoring data subject access, rectification, erasure, restriction, and portability requests
• (d) Implementing appropriate security measures
• (e) Conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments where required
• (f) Appointing a Data Protection Officer if your operations require one
• (g) Registering databases with applicable supervisory authorities
• (h) Honoring opt-out requests for direct marketing
• (i) Cross-border transfer safeguards where data crosses borders

6.4 Israel's Amendment 13 - User Compliance

If your use of the Actor involves Israeli residents' personal data, you must comply with the Privacy Protection Law as amended (Amendment 13, effective August 14, 2025). These obligations are yours as the data controller, not the Publisher's as the software vendor.

6.5 Sensitive Data Targeting Restrictions

You will not use the Actor to specifically target, profile, or build datasets focused on:

• Health or medical conditions
• Religious beliefs
• Political opinions
• Sexual orientation or gender identity
• Genetic or biometric data
• Criminal history
• Children under 16

7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

7.1 Actor Code

The Actor's source code, schemas, documentation, and branding are owned by the Publisher. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Actor for permitted purposes during your active subscription/run with Apify.

7.2 Output Data

The Publisher claims no ownership over the public data the Actor returns. Source Platforms may have copyright, database rights, or other rights in their data; data subjects may have copyright in user-generated content. Your use of output data must respect these rights independently.

7.3 Restrictions

You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or reuse the Actor's code in a competing actor.

Actor-Specific Terms of Service Addendum

This addendum supplements the Master Terms of Service V4.0. By running this Actor you accept both.

A. Architectural disclosure

This Actor is a software wrapper. It accepts your input parameters, calls a backend data service, and returns the response data to you on the Apify platform. UnseenUser does not store, log, or substantively process the data returned. The data flows through Apify's runtime directly to you.

B. Nature of data returned

This Actor returns full TikTok video metadata for every public post on a profile: aweme_id, caption, creation timestamp, engagement stats (views, likes, comments, shares, saves), video URLs (no-watermark, alternate, watermarked), thumbnail, dimensions, duration, music info (title, author), author metadata (handle, nickname, follower count, verification), pinned/ad/shop-promo flags, and for photo carousels the image URLs.

Where the Actor's output includes individual people's names, photos, or content authored by them, that data constitutes personal data subject to GDPR, CCPA, Israeli Privacy Protection Law (including Amendment 13), and equivalent privacy laws in your downstream processing - but only in your hands as the data controller, not in UnseenUser's hands as the software vendor.

C. Permitted use cases

• Content repurposing for licensed cross-posting workflows
• Influencer marketing audits before partnership
• UGC aggregation for sanctioned brand campaigns
• Brand monitoring of competitor TikTok content output
• Influencer vetting (real posts vs bio claims)
• Academic research on content patterns and trends
• Compliance archiving for regulated industries
• Content marketing benchmarking

D. Specifically prohibited uses

In addition to Master ToS section 4 prohibitions, you may not:

• Republish creator videos as your own on TikTok, Reels, Shorts, or any platform
• Download videos at scale to host on competing platforms or facilitate piracy
• Strip creator attribution from downloaded videos before redistribution
• Train commercial AI/LLM models on TikTok videos without proper licensing - TikTok Terms restrict this AND creators retain copyright
• Mass-extract videos from minor creators
• Build TikTok downloader websites that violate TikTok's anti-circumvention provisions
• Use no-watermark URLs to facilitate copyright infringement, deep-fake creation, or non-consensual distribution
• Aggregate posts across thousands of creators to build a TikTok content database for resale

E. Platform Terms of Service considerations

TikTok's Terms of Service prohibit automated extraction. ByteDance has actively litigated against scrapers. This Actor accesses publicly visible TikTok video data via a backend infrastructure service - that service bears responsibility for the lawfulness of the data collection. Your downstream use must independently comply with TikTok's Terms of Service. Watermark removal plus redistribution is the exact pattern TikTok pursues legally - be careful with downstream use. If TikTok issues a cease-and-desist regarding data obtained via this Actor, notify UnseenUser within 48 hours via the Apify profile contact form (apify.com/UnseenUser) and cease your use immediately.

F. No-watermark URL does not equal authorization to use

The Actor returns clean MP4 URLs without the watermark overlay. Possession of these URLs does NOT grant rebroadcast rights.

You may use the URLs for:

• Real-time viewing in your own monitoring dashboards
• Analysis of video properties (duration, dimensions)
• Personal use (saving your own content)

You may NOT:

• Rebroadcast videos to your own users in a way that competes with TikTok
• Strip TikTok branding/attribution when displaying video content
• Aggregate multiple videos into a TikTok content aggregator product
• Save and republish as your own content

Stripping watermarks AND attribution simultaneously is the pattern TikTok pursues legally.

G. No-watermark URL selection logic

if download_no_watermark_addr.url_list[0] exists: use it (cleanest)
else if has_watermark is false: use play_addr.url_list[0]
else: TikTok did not return a clean URL - Actor emits clean_url: null

The Actor emits a top-level clean_url field for convenience, plus clean_url_source indicating which field it came from.

H. URL lifecycle and validity

The no-watermark URLs are signed CDN URLs with limited validity:

• Typically valid for 24-72 hours from extraction (TikTok varies this)
• URLs include cryptographic signatures - modifying them breaks them
• Cannot be saved indefinitely - they expire on TikTok's schedule
• Fetch the asset promptly if you intend to keep it

Don't build features that assume URLs are permanent.

I. Content copyright - three layers

Every TikTok video has three separate copyright layers:

1. The creator's video (creator's copyright) - footage, performance, editing choices
2. The music (music rights holder's copyright) - separate from the video
3. The caption text (creator's copyright)

Even if you have permission from the creator for layer 1, layer 2 (music) is independently protected. TikTok has temporary licensing deals with music labels - when you extract the video, you carry NO such license.

J. AI training - special notice

TikTok's Terms of Service explicitly prohibit using TikTok data to train AI/ML models without TikTok's authorization. UnseenUser does NOT authorize, and has no ability to authorize, AI training use.

Recent litigation (NYT v. OpenAI, Andersen v. Stability AI, Reddit v. Perplexity, multiple class actions) demonstrates AI training on platform data is contested. Music rights holders (UMG, Sony, Warner) are particularly aggressive about AI training on copyrighted media.

Your AI training use is your own legal exposure.

K. Minor protection - CRITICAL

TikTok has significant under-18 creator populations. When extracting videos:

• DO NOT extract videos featuring or created by users you know or suspect are minors
• DO NOT process video content depicting minors for ANY commercial purpose
• DELETE any extracted content you discover features minors unless you have valid parental consent
• Be especially alert to school-themed content, child performance videos, and videos with parental-control disclaimers

This restriction is non-negotiable - minor data and likeness protection violations carry the highest regulatory penalties under COPPA, GDPR Article 8, Illinois BIPA, and Israeli Privacy Law.

L. Deep-fake and non-consensual distribution

No-watermark URLs are particularly risky because they remove the attribution that would normally accompany the video. DO NOT use this Actor to:

• Extract videos of identifiable individuals for deep-fake creation
• Extract videos to remove watermarks before non-consensual redistribution
• Extract videos for facial recognition training datasets
• Build face dataset pipelines targeting TikTok creators

Multiple jurisdictions now have specific deep-fake laws (UK Online Safety Act 2023, California, Texas, New York, Illinois). Your use of this Actor's output is your liability.

M. Cease-and-desist protocol

If TikTok contacts UnseenUser regarding your use:

• UnseenUser will notify Apify per Master ToS section 8
• UnseenUser may suspend access to this Actor pending investigation
• You agree to provide documentation of your lawful basis and processing activities on reasonable request

If a creator contacts you directly demanding deletion of their content data:

• Honor the request promptly (typically within 30 days under GDPR)
• Do NOT route them to UnseenUser - UnseenUser is the software vendor, not the data controller
• You may suggest they contact TikTok directly AND comply with your own deletion obligations
• Document the request and your response
