TikTok Video Search Scraper & Keyword API

TikTok Video Search Scraper & Keyword API

Search TikTok videos by keyword and collect structured result pages for content discovery and trend research.

Use the Apify input form or API to send 1–20 requests per run. Each successful request saves one complete response page in the dataset. No proxy setup or separate API key is needed.

What can you use it for?

• Discover videos matching topics, brands, or campaign keywords.
• Compare keyword search snapshots for content research.
• Feed returned video search data into your own analysis workflow.

Quick start

1. Use a paid Apify account and set a spending limit that covers your batch.
2. Paste the example below into the input form, then replace the query values.
3. Start the Actor and open its dataset when the run finishes.

{
  "requests": [
    {
      "keyword": "coffee",
      "count": 20
    }
  ]
}

Input parameters

Wrap query objects in the requests array. Each object requests one page.

Parameter	Meaning
keyword	Required keyword or search phrase.
count	Optional requested results per page, 1–20; actual totals may vary.
offset	Optional pagination offset, 0–1,000.
region	Optional region string, such as US.
sort_type, publish_time	Optional endpoint-specific numeric controls, 0–1,000. Omit unless you know the required values.

Output and pagination

Each successful request creates one dataset record with:

Field	Meaning
requestIndex	Zero-based position of the request in your batch.
queryParams	The query parameters used for that request.
upstreamRunId	Request receipt identifier, when returned.
output	The complete response page, including returned result arrays and pagination metadata.

Result arrays stay nested inside output; individual results are not flattened into separate dataset rows. JSON is the recommended export format for preserving the full response. Available fields depend on the query and returned page. Output order can vary: use requestIndex to match records to inputs.

Use the returned pagination information to supply a subsequent offset. The Actor does not automatically fetch every search page.

Pricing

$0.004 per request attempt + $0.002 per valid run. All data returned in a page is included in that request fee; there is no separate per-result fee.

Batch	Actor event charges
1 request	$0.006
10 requests	$0.042
20 requests	$0.082

Empty pages and failed request attempts also incur the request fee. The Actor charges before calling the data API. Invalid input, an unacceptable price quote, or an insufficient batch spending limit stops paid requests. A batch stops on an error; already attempted requests remain billed, and another in-flight request may still be charged.

Requirements and limits

This Actor searches videos by keyword. It does not download video files, extract full comments, collect follower lists, or scrape a profile by URL.

• External customers on paid Apify plans only. Free-plan, owner, platform test, development, CI, and standby runs are disabled.
• Run with 128 MiB of memory. A batch contains at most 20 requests, with two concurrent workers.
• Pagination is manual. Requested result counts are best-effort limits, not guaranteed totals.
• Each response is limited to 4 MiB. Paid request attempts are not automatically retried.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need my own API key or proxy?

No. Supply only the supported query parameters. Connection settings are managed by the Actor.

Is there a free trial?

No. This Actor requires a paid Apify plan and bills per request attempt.

Can I call it from my application?

Yes. Use the Actor's API button in Apify Console for its run endpoint and authenticated code examples. Paying customers can schedule or automate purchases using Apify.

Why is a page one dataset row?

A row preserves the complete response and its pagination metadata. Process the nested result arrays in your application if you need one row per result.
