TikTok Scraper - Videos, Profiles & Comments

Scrape TikTok and export videos, user profiles and comments to JSON, CSV or Excel. Search videos or users by keyword, pull a single video's full details, collect a video's comments, get a user's profile, or list everything a user has posted - all from one Actor. Each result is one clean, flat row with views, likes, comments, shares, saves, hashtags, sound, media links and creator data.

No login, no cookies and no proxies to configure - data is fetched through a fast, managed pipeline. Just pick an operation, add your input and press Start.

What is TikTok?

TikTok is the world's leading short-video platform, with over a billion monthly users. Trends, songs and products break there first, and creators of every size reach audiences far beyond their followers through the For You feed. This scraper gives you programmatic access to TikTok search, videos, comments and creator profiles so you can track trends, find creators and analyze engagement at scale without a TikTok account.

Operations

Pick one Operation and fill in the matching field:

Operation	Input field	What you get
Search videos by keyword	keywords	Videos matching each keyword, with engagement, hashtags, sound, media and creator data.
Search users by keyword	keywords	Accounts matching each keyword, with followers, likes, video count and verification.
Video details	videoUrls	The full record for each video or photo post.
Video comments	videoUrls	Top-level comments for each video, with likes, reply counts, language and commenter data.
User profile	userUrls	A user's profile: followers, following, total likes, video count, bio, bio link, verification.

videoUrls accept tiktok.com/@user/video/<id> and /photo/<id> URLs, short share links (vm.tiktok.com/..., vt.tiktok.com/..., tiktok.com/t/...) or numeric video IDs. userUrls accept tiktok.com/@username URLs, usernames with or without @ (e.g. khaby.lame) or secUid values (MS4wLjABAAAA...) - one per line.

Common use cases

• Trend and hashtag research - search a topic, sort by most liked or limit to the last week, and see what is taking off.
• Influencer discovery - search users in a niche, then pull their profiles and recent videos to compare reach and engagement.
• Brand and competitor monitoring - track a brand's own posts and the comments people leave on them.
• Content and sentiment analysis - collect captions and comments for NLP, sentiment or AI training datasets.

Notes on reliability

• TikTok's search pages overlap; duplicates are removed automatically, so a keyword may return slightly fewer results than the page count suggests.
• Search region shifts the ranking toward that market but is not a strict country filter; results from other countries still appear.
• On Video details rows author_followers_count is 0 because TikTok does not include it there; use User profile for the creator's follower count.
• The bio (signature), bio link and account labels are only present on User profile rows; Search users rows carry the linked Instagram handle instead.
• Video, image and avatar URLs are served by TikTok's CDN and expire after a few hours; fetch them promptly.
• Counts reflect what TikTok returns at scrape time. If a video or user is private, deleted or restricted, that input is skipped and the run continues.

FAQ

Do I need a TikTok account, cookies or a proxy? No. Just add your input and press Start.

Which video links work? Full tiktok.com/@user/video/... and /photo/... links, short share links from the app (vm.tiktok.com, vt.tiktok.com, tiktok.com/t/) and numeric video IDs all work.

Does it handle photo (slideshow) posts? Yes. They come back with content_type set to photo and every image URL in image_urls.

Can I run several keywords or URLs at once? Yes - add multiple lines. Cross-input duplicates are removed automatically.

Can I try it for free? Yes. Users on the free Apify plan can fetch up to 10 results in total to try the Actor. Upgrade to a paid Apify plan to run it without that limit.
