## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## TikTok Hashtag Scraper — Videos, Views, Likes & Shares

**$0.99 per 1,000 videos — cheaper than the $1.00+ alternatives, with no login and no monthly fee. You pay only for the videos you actually get.** Scrape every video under any TikTok hashtag and export it to CSV, JSON or Excel.

### Why this one

- 💸 **Lowest price on the Store** — a flat **$0.99 / 1,000 videos**, undercutting the popular $1.00+ TikTok hashtag scrapers. A 10,000-video export costs **$9.90**.
- 📦 **Deep export** — paginates as far as TikTok will serve the feed; set the limit high and let it run.
- 🔓 **No login, no API key** — just hashtags in, data out.
- ⚡ **Pay-per-result** — billed only per video delivered; failed hashtags cost nothing.

### What you get per video

Description, **views (plays), likes, comments, shares, saves**, duration, timestamp, the **author** (username, nickname, id, verified), the music (title, author), the video URL and cover image.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `hashtags` | array | **Required.** Hashtags to scrape, with or without `#`. |
| `maxVideosPerHashtag` | integer | Videos per hashtag — set high for a deep export (feed ends on its own). |
| `maxVideos` | integer | Optional hard cap across all hashtags (0 = no cap). |

```json
{
  "hashtags": ["recipes", "#skincare", "fyp"],
  "maxVideosPerHashtag": 5000
}
```

### Output (one row per video)

```json
{
  "input_hashtag": "recipes",
  "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@chef/video/7365...",
  "description": "3-ingredient pasta 🍝",
  "plays": 1840233,
  "likes": 220145,
  "comments": 1820,
  "shares": 9043,
  "saves": 48120,
  "author_username": "chef",
  "author_verified": true,
  "created_at": "2026-09-02T14:03:00+00:00"
}
```

### Pricing

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| `video-scraped` | **$0.99 / 1,000 videos** ($0.00099 each) |

Only successful videos are billed; hashtags that error cost nothing.

### Notes

- TikTok limits how deep a hashtag feed goes, so "all videos" means all videos TikTok will serve for that tag.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "hashtags": [
        "recipes"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("zaver.api/tiktok-hashtag-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "hashtags": [
    "recipes"
  ]
}' |
apify call zaver.api/tiktok-hashtag-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,zaver.api/tiktok-hashtag-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
