🎵 TikTok Sound Tracker - Song Details + Videos Using That Sound (No Login)

Pick a sound. Get its metadata. Get every video using it. One Actor, full UGC visibility.

Bundle two endpoints in a single run: song metadata + every video using that sound. Built for trend tracking and UGC-campaign monitoring. Input: one or more TikTok clip IDs or music URLs - single or bulk.

---

🎯 The hero use case

A brand launches a viral UGC campaign around a custom TikTok sound and needs to know, in real time:

• How many creators are actually using my sound?
• Who are they, and how big is their reach?
• What is the geographic and demographic spread?
• Is adoption accelerating, plateauing, or fading?
• Are competitors quietly piggybacking on the same sound?

This Actor is the data engine behind that dashboard. Paste the campaign sound's URL, get back the full creator + video footprint. Re-run on a schedule to track growth over time.

---

🎵 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.

---

⚡ Why this Actor?

Input one or more TikTok clipIds (or music URLs), get back the song's metadata (title, author, duration, total usage count) plus the list of videos using that sound, paginated as deep as you want. Perfect for tracking UGC campaigns, viral audio trends, and music marketing performance - across a single sound or across an entire catalog in bulk.

---

🎯 Use cases

• UGC campaign tracking - see who uses your brand's TikTok sound, in near real time
• Viral audio trend monitoring - track how a viral sound spreads from origin to mass-adoption
• Music marketing - measure organic adoption of label-released tracks
• A&R discovery - find rising sounds early, before the majors do
• Influencer audit - verify claimed branded-sound campaign participation
• Trend research - find rising sounds before they peak
• Artist / label analytics - measure TikTok performance of an entire music catalog in one bulk run
• Brand sound monitoring - alert when usage of your sound spikes or drops
• Competitor brand monitoring - see if competitors quietly run sound-based campaigns
• Audio licensing intelligence - identify which tracks are rising before they go fully viral

---

🚀 Quick start

1. Click Try for free on this Actor's page.
2. Paste one or more TikTok music URLs or clipIds into clips (one per line).
3. (Optional) Tune max_video_pages to control how deep to paginate per sound.
4. Run the Actor.
5. Download results as JSON, CSV, or XLSX, or pull via the Apify API.

---

🔑 Input formats - URLs or clipIds, single or bulk

The clips field is a single list that accepts both formats and any quantity:

• A full TikTok music URL: https://www.tiktok.com/music/Trending-Sound-7439295283975702544
• A bare numeric clipId: 7439295283975702544

Drop one entry for a one-off lookup, or many entries for a bulk run. URLs and clipIds can be mixed freely. Duplicate clipIds are de-duplicated automatically. Unparseable entries produce an input_error row instead of stopping the run.

How to find a clipId

A clipId is the trailing number in a TikTok music URL:

https://www.tiktok.com/music/Trending-Sound-7439295283975702544
                                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                              this is the clipId

You can also find clipIds in the "popular songs" responses from other TikTok endpoints. A clipId is not the same as a song ID; this Actor expects a clipId.

---

⚙️ Inputs

Input	Type	Required	Description	Example
clips	array of strings	Yes	One or more TikTok sounds. Each entry is a TikTok music URL or a bare numeric clipId. URLs and IDs can be mixed. Duplicates are de-duplicated. Use one entry for a single lookup or many entries for a bulk run.	["https://www.tiktok.com/music/Song-A-7439295283975702544", "7370375686554782506"]
max_video_pages	integer	No	Max pages of videos using each sound to fetch. Default 5. Increase for deeper coverage of widely used sounds.	5
include_song_details	boolean	No	If false, skips the song metadata and returns only the videos that use the sound. Default true.	true

---

📤 Output

The Actor streams rows into the Apify dataset as they arrive. There are four row types:

type	Meaning
song_details	The song's metadata for one clipId (title, author, duration, total usage, etc.).
video	One video that uses the sound. Includes statistics and author info.
song_videos_error	A failed page of the videos call. The run continues.
input_error	An input string that could not be parsed into a clipId. The run continues.

Every row carries a _metadata block tying it back to the input that produced it - useful in bulk runs where rows from many clips are interleaved:

{
    "page": 1,
    "fetched_at": "2026-06-01T12:34:56.789Z",
    "input_identifier": "7439295283975702544",
    "input_source": "https://www.tiktok.com/music/Trending-Sound-7439295283975702544"
}

The Apify Console renders results using three dataset views: Overview, Song details, and Videos using the sound, so you can browse rows as a clean table instead of raw JSON.

Failed requests are emitted as rows with an error field instead of crashing the run, so partial results are always usable.

🔁 The trend-intelligence pipeline

Sound Tracker is one step of a three-step workflow. Combine these Actors for end-to-end trend intelligence:

1. TikTok Trends Scraper - find trending sounds to track.
2. TikTok Sound Tracker (this Actor) - song metadata + every video using each sound.
3. TikTok Audience Geography - see where the viral sound's creators' audiences actually live.

Pipe step 1 -> step 2 -> step 3 to go from "what is trending right now" to "who is making it trend" to "where are the eyeballs coming from."

❓ FAQ

Q: How do I find a clipId? A: It is the trailing number in any TikTok music URL: tiktok.com/music/Song-Name-{clipId}. You can also paste the full URL into this Actor and it will extract the clipId for you.

Q: clipId vs song ID - what is the difference? A: This Actor takes a clipId. A song ID is a different identifier used elsewhere in TikTok's internal data and is not accepted here. If your tooling gives you a song ID, you will need a clipId instead.

Q: Can I pass multiple sounds in one run? A: Yes. Use the clips array field and pass any number of URLs or clipIds. URLs and IDs can be mixed. Duplicates are removed automatically.

Q: How many videos do I get per song? A: One page typically contains ~20-30 videos. Set max_video_pages to control the total. Default is 5 pages.

Q: How does pagination work? A: The Actor fetches videos page by page using cursor-based pagination, stopping at max_video_pages or when there are no more pages.

Q: What about pagination across many clips in a bulk run? A: max_video_pages is applied per clip, not for the whole run. With max_video_pages = 5 and 10 input clips, you can get up to 5 pages of videos for each of the 10 sounds.

Q: How fresh is the data? A: Each run fetches live data at request time. Re-run on a schedule (Apify scheduler) to track growth over time.

Q: What happens if one of my bulk inputs is invalid? A: The unparseable input produces an input_error row and the run keeps going for the rest. One bad URL in your list will never abort the whole run.

Q: What happens when the free 50-item cap is hit? A: The Actor finishes with status SUCCEEDED and a status message explaining the cap and how to remove it. The first 50 results are fully usable. Upgrade to any paid Apify plan to remove the cap.

Q: Is this legal? A: This Actor returns publicly visible TikTok data via a third-party data provider that handles the underlying data collection. Your downstream use of the data is your responsibility. See the Terms of Service and the Actor-Specific Addendum below.

Q: Do I need any external account? A: No. You only need an Apify account.

Q: What about TikTok's anti-scraping enforcement? A: TikTok's Terms restrict automated extraction. Your downstream use of the data must comply with TikTok's Terms.

Q: What if TikTok or a music rights holder sends a cease-and-desist? A: Notify UnseenUser within 48 hours via the Apify profile contact form (https://apify.com/UnseenUser) and stop using this Actor immediately.

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 content. Music rights holders enforce this aggressively.

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.

PREAMBLE - UNDERSTANDING THE ARCHITECTURE

You (User) -> Apify Platform -> Actor (software) -> Third-Party API -> Source Platform
                                                       |
You (User) <- Apify Platform <- Actor (software) <- Third-Party API

• 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.
• 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 third-party data provider and returns the responses to you. The Publisher does not operate scraping infrastructure, does not store or retain returned data, and 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.
• Third-Party API Provider: An independent third-party data provider operates the underlying data collection.
• Source Platform: TikTok.

These Terms operate alongside but do not replace Apify's ToS, the Third-Party API Provider's ToS, TikTok's Terms, and applicable law in your jurisdiction.

1. NATURE OF THE SERVICE

The Actor is a software program published on the Apify platform. It accepts structured input from you, sends requests to a third-party data provider, receives responses, and returns the response data to you in a structured format on the Apify platform.

The Actor is not a scraping tool, not a direct connection to TikTok, not a data storage service, and not affiliated with TikTok or any music rights holder.

2. WHO MAY USE THE ACTOR

You may use the Actor only if you are at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), have legal capacity to enter into binding contracts, are not located in or resident of a country subject to comprehensive sanctions by the US, EU, UK, or Israel, and are not on any prohibited persons list.

3. PERMITTED USES

The Actor may be used for any lawful purpose, including market research, academic research, journalism, internal business intelligence, brand monitoring, and recruitment research where consistent with applicable employment law.

4. PROHIBITED USES

You may not use the Actor for:

• Illegal activity in any relevant jurisdiction
• Harassment, stalking, doxxing, or building profiles of journalists, activists, dissidents, or vulnerable populations
• Discriminatory employment, lending, housing, or insurance decisions
• Spam and unsolicited commercial communication in violation of CAN-SPAM, CASL, GDPR, PECR, or equivalent
• Fraud, identity theft, fake reviews, election interference, securities fraud
• Source platform abuse, fake accounts, vote/engagement manipulation
• Reselling the Actor's raw outputs as your own data product or scraping-as-a-service
• AI/ML model training without separate licensing authority from the source platform
• Specifically targeting health conditions, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, political opinions, or minors under 16
• Processing personal data of EU/UK/California/Israeli residents without complying with applicable privacy law

5. SOURCE PLATFORM TERMS - YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

You are solely responsible for ensuring your downstream use of data obtained through the Actor complies with TikTok's Terms of Service (https://www.tiktok.com/legal/page/global/terms-of-service/en) and any applicable music rights holders' policies.

If you receive a cease-and-desist letter or other legal demand from TikTok or any music rights holder, you must cease the contested use immediately, notify UnseenUser within 48 hours via the Apify profile contact form (https://apify.com/UnseenUser), and not assert against the Publisher any claim arising from your inability to use the Actor.

6. DATA PROTECTION

• You (the User) are the Data Controller of any personal data you obtain through the Actor and subsequently process for your own purposes.
• The Third-Party API Provider bears the responsibilities of data processor/controller for the collection itself.
• The Publisher acts solely as a software vendor, not as a data controller or processor.

Where your use of the Actor involves processing personal data, you are responsible for establishing a lawful basis, providing transparent notice to data subjects, honoring data subject rights, implementing security measures, conducting DPIAs where required, and complying with cross-border transfer rules.

If your use involves Israeli residents' personal data, you must comply with the Privacy Protection Law as amended (Amendment 13, effective August 14, 2025).

7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Actor's source code, schemas, documentation, and branding are owned by the Publisher. The Publisher claims no ownership over the public data the Actor returns. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or reuse the Actor's code in a competing actor.

8. PRICING AND PAYMENT

Pricing is administered through Apify's pricing models. Apify processes all payments. The Publisher may change Actor pricing with at least 14 days' notice. If your access is suspended or terminated for breach, you forfeit any unused balance.

9. SERVICE AVAILABILITY

The Actor depends on the Apify platform, the Third-Party API Provider, and TikTok's continued public accessibility. The Publisher makes no uptime guarantees. The Publisher may discontinue the Actor at any time.

10. DISCLAIMERS

THE ACTOR IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. The Publisher makes no representation that your specific use of the Actor or the data it returns is lawful in your jurisdiction or under TikTok's terms.

11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

The Publisher's aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Actor shall not exceed the greater of (a) US $100, or (b) the amounts you paid through Apify for use of the Actor in the three months immediately preceding the event. The Publisher is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages. Any claim must be brought within one year of the event.

12. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Publisher from any claims arising from your use of the Actor, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any law, your violation of TikTok's ToS, and your processing of personal data obtained through the Actor.

13. SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION

The Publisher may terminate your access for material breach, illegal use, breach of warranty, or upon credible legal demand. You may stop using the Actor at any time on Apify.

14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Send a detailed written description of any dispute via UnseenUser's Apify profile contact form (https://apify.com/UnseenUser) and wait 60 days before any formal claim. These Terms are governed by the substantive laws of the State of Israel. Disputes are brought exclusively in the competent civil courts of Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel. No class actions. The prevailing party recovers reasonable attorneys' fees.

15. MISCELLANEOUS

These Terms (with this Addendum) are the entire agreement. Unenforceable provisions are reformed or severed. You may not assign without consent. Apify and the Third-Party API Provider are intended third-party beneficiaries of Sections 4, 5, and 12. Sections 0, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15 survive termination. English controls. The Publisher operates on Apify under the username UnseenUser (https://apify.com/UnseenUser); upon valid legal process directed through Apify's official channels, the Publisher's full legal identity may be disclosed as required by law.

16. ACKNOWLEDGMENT

By using this Actor you acknowledge that you have read these Terms, understand the architecture, accept responsibility for your use including compliance with TikTok's terms, and accept that disputes are resolved in Israeli courts.

🛡️ Actor-Specific ToS Addendum - TikTok Sound Tracker

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

A. Architectural Disclosure

This Actor is a software wrapper. It accepts your input parameters, calls a third-party data provider, and returns the response data to you on the Apify platform. UnseenUser does not store, log, or substantively process the data returned.

B. Nature of Data Returned

Song metadata (title, author, album, duration, total user_count, play URL, cover art, artists) plus an array of videos using that sound (each with aweme_id, statistics, video URLs, author info).

Where the Actor's output includes individual people's names, photos, contact details, 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

• UGC campaign tracking
• Viral audio trend monitoring
• Music marketing analytics
• Influencer audit
• Trend research
• Artist / label analytics
• Competitor brand monitoring

D. Specifically Prohibited Uses

In addition to Master ToS Section 4 prohibitions, you may NOT:

• Build cold-DM tools targeting every creator who used a specific sound
• Republish creator videos that used a sound without licensing from the creator AND the music rights holder
• Train commercial AI on TikTok audio without proper licensing
• Aggregate sound-usage data to identify and surveil specific creators' habits
• Use sound-usage data to copyright-troll creators

E. Platform Terms of Service Considerations

TikTok's Terms of Service prohibit automated extraction. Music rights holders are highly litigious about scraping. If TikTok or any music rights holder issues a cease-and-desist, notify UnseenUser within 48 hours via the Apify profile contact form (https://apify.com/UnseenUser).

F. Two-Step Flow and ClipId

The input is a clipId (or a URL that contains one) - not a song ID. To find a clipId, take the trailing number from tiktok.com/music/Song-Name-{clipId}. Song details are fetched first; the list of videos using the sound is fetched second. If song details cannot be retrieved, the Actor skips the videos call and emits an error row.

G. Music Copyright - HIGHEST ENFORCEMENT RISK

Music rights holders (Universal Music Group, Sony Music, Warner Music) enforce copyright more aggressively than any other content category. You may NOT download and republish copyrighted music from sound metadata, use sound metadata to facilitate music piracy, train AI on music data extracted via this Actor, or build "TikTok music search engines."

H. Creator Content in Sound Videos

The video data returned includes each creator's video content. Each video is independently copyrighted by its creator. The music in the background has separate copyright. Treat both layers carefully.

I. UGC Campaign Verification

If you use this Actor to verify UGC campaign participation, do not use the data to penalize creators who did not participate (negative-only enforcement) or to manipulate creator rankings. Sound usage is not consent to your campaign.

J. Trend Research vs. Surveillance

There is a line between trend research (permitted) and creator surveillance (not):

• OK: "How many creators used Sound X in the last 30 days?"
• OK: "What sounds are trending in fashion?"
• NOT OK: "What sounds has creator @username used over the last year?"
• NOT OK: Building a database of every creator's sound usage history.
