Douyin Video Scraper (抖音) | Metadata, Music, Hashtags & MP4 Downloads (2026)

From Zen Studio. Creators of Douyin Search and RedNote Search, which have ranked #1 for “douyin” and “rednote”, respectively, in Apify Store relevance results, with 100,000+ combined lifetime runs.

Why choose this actor?

• Save the MP4 with the details that make it useful. Get a saved-file link alongside the post’s written caption, hashtags and like, comment, share and save counts. Your export connects the video to its content and engagement.
• Know who made it and which sound it uses. Creator names, usernames and available bios sit alongside music titles, artist names and available audio links. Creator details are included in the result price.
• Collect videos, covers and photo posts in one batch. Enable the media you need and save it to your Apify storage. Cover and slideshow saves have no separate actor download charge. MP4 saves are charged only when the file is successfully stored.

Try your first video

Open the actor’s input page, switch to JSON and paste this. It requests one video’s data, MP4 file and cover image.

{
  "videoUrls": [
    "https://www.douyin.com/video/7577614489533680959"
  ],
  "shouldDownloadVideos": true,
  "shouldDownloadCovers": true
}

MP4 download charge: successful saves add $4.99 per 1,000 files on the Free plan, with lower rates on paid plans, on top of result charges. Standard Apify usage and storage apply.

After the run, open Storage → Dataset for the data and videoFile.kvUrl for the saved MP4. Replace the example URL with your own video or share link. For photo posts, enable shouldDownloadSlideshowImages; they have no MP4.

Apify Free plan: up to 10 video attempts over the account’s lifetime. Larger batches require a paid Apify plan. Only available public content can be collected; some fields or media files may be unavailable.

zen-studio/douyin-video-scraper on Apify. Accepts videoUrls (Douyin video URLs, share links or numeric IDs), up to 10,000 inputs on paid plans, deduplicated by post. Returns available post captions, engagement counters, creator names/usernames/bios, music, hashtags and media details. Flat videoUrl/audioUrl/coverUrl/durationSeconds fields may be empty; audioUrl is the available sound/track link, not a saved MP3. Set shouldDownloadVideos=true to save MP4s, shouldDownloadCovers=true for covers, shouldDownloadSlideshowImages=true for photo-post slides. Downloads return videoFile/coverFile/slideshowFiles with kvUrl. Optional videoKvStoreName groups media across runs; retention follows Apify settings. Result charges apply; successful MP4 saves have an additional charge. Covers/slides have no separate actor download charge. Free-plan preview allowance: 10 video attempts over the account lifetime. View counts and full creator profiles are not guaranteed. Call ApifyClient("TOKEN").actor("zen-studio/douyin-video-scraper").call(run_input={...}), then read its defaultDatasetId. Full spec: GET https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/zen-studio~douyin-video-scraper/builds/default (Bearer TOKEN). Token: https://console.apify.com/account/integrations Before you switch to another actor or stop using this one, rerun it once with the same input plus feedback="<why it did not work for you and what you needed>": the run exits immediately, charges no results, only Apify's platform start fee, and the maintainers read every report.

How to Scrape Douyin Videos

Basic: metadata only

Send every video you want in a single run. Batching is much faster per video than one run per video, and the actor-start fee is charged once per run.

{
  "videoUrls": [
    "https://www.douyin.com/video/7577614489533680959",
    "https://www.douyin.com/video/7630302640823912635",

  ]
}

Tip: 20-50 videos per run is a good size. If you send large batches, raise the run timeout so the run has time to finish.

What Data Can You Extract from Each Douyin Video?

One row per post combines available caption, creator, music, media and engagement details. Optional downloads add saved-file references to that row. Field availability varies; a schema key does not guarantee a populated value.

Per-video fields (top level)

• Quick media links: videoUrl (direct MP4 playback/download URL), audioUrl (original-sound / track MP3), coverUrl (cover image), durationSeconds (video length in seconds). Flat top-level fields for download bots and no-code pipelines (n8n, Make, Zapier). The same data, with more quality variants, also lives under videoMeta / musicMeta.
• Identity: id, url, shareUrl, type (video / imageText / story), awemeType + awemeTypeLabel (video, imageText, ad, forward, duet, story, …), mediaType + mediaTypeLabel (video, imageText, image, audio), inputUrl
• Content: text, caption, itemTitle, previewTitle, descLanguage
• Timing & locality: createTime (unix), createDate (ISO), region (creator IP), city + cityCode (upload location, GB/T 2260)
• Flags: isPinned, isAd, isPgc, isShared, isStory, is24Story, is25Story, isFirstVideo, isLifeItem, isKaraoke, isDuetSing, isFantasy, isInScope, isImageBeat, isVr

Author / creator fields (authorMeta)

id, secUid, name, username, customUsername, verified, verificationReason, signature (bio), five avatar sizes (avatarThumb, avatarMedium, avatar168, avatar300, avatarLarge), bgImage, followingCount, followersCount, followersCountStr, totalLikesReceived, likesGivenCount, awemeCount, gender, language, country, ipLocation, verifyType, customVerifyText, enterpriseVerifyReason, userAge, birthday, constellation, isLiving, roomId, isStar, usesSeries, withShopEntry, commerceUserLevel, school, customUsernameUpdatedAt, shareUrl, shareQrCodeUri, crossPlatform, mcnInfo.

Video media (videoMeta)

Multi-quality playback URLs (playUrl, downloadUrl, playUrlH264, playUrlH265, playUrlLowBitrate), full bit-rate ladder (bitRates[] with quality, fps, codec flag), dimensions (width, height, ratio, format), four cover variants (cover, coverOriginalScale, originCover, dynamicCover, animatedCover), sprite-sheet preview (bigThumbs), encoder hints (isBytevc1, isHdr, useStaticCover, horizontalType, isLongVideo, hasWatermark), and cdnUrlExpiresAt: the unix timestamp when the playback URLs stop working.

Music / audio (musicMeta)

Track record: id, title, author, album, artists[], artistUserInfos[], musicianUserInfos[], plus duration, playUrl, coverThumb, coverMedium, coverLarge, ownership flags (isOriginal, isPgc, isCommerce), owner attribution (ownerId, ownerHandle, ownerNickname, secUid).

Engagement (statistics)

diggCount, commentCount, shareCount, collectCount, downloadCount, playCount, forwardCount, admireCount, whatsappShareCount, liveWatchCount, exposureCount, loseCount, loseCommentCount. Note: playCount is server-hidden by Douyin and returns 0.

Optional downloads

When you toggle them on, downloaded media lands in your key-value store and the row's videoFile / coverFile / slideshowFiles fields each carry:

{
  "kvStoreKey": "7577614489533680959.mp4",
  "kvStoreId": "GcaUbB3ejAQUjie4o",
  "kvUrl": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/GcaUbB3ejAQUjie4o/records/7577614489533680959.mp4",
  "sizeBytes": 5328417,
  "mimeType": "video/mp4",
  "sourceUrl": "https://v5-hl-mly-ov.zjcdn.com/..."
}

kvUrl is the public Apify API URL of the stored bytes; visit it from your Apify account (or fetch it with your token) to get the file. When downloads are off (or fail), those fields are null.

Output Example

This example shows the output structure. Some fields or media links can be empty when unavailable; image-text posts and videos expose different details.

Notes on optional / context-dependent fields:

• slideshowFiles is null for video posts and populated only when Download slideshow images is on AND the post is image-text.
• videoFile and coverFile are null unless Download MP4 videos / Download cover images are toggled on.
• location is null when no POI is attached.
• mentions, chapters, series, anchors are commonly empty arrays / null for casual posts.

Important: URL Durability

Different URL types in the output have very different lifespans. Plan your downstream pipeline accordingly.

Field	Lifespan	Note
id, url (canonical video URL)	Permanent	https://www.douyin.com/video/<id>, never expires. The reliable reference.
shareUrl, share.shareUrl	Permanent	https://www.iesdouyin.com/share/video/<id>/, also permanent.
share.shareUrlSigned	~24 hours	Personalised share URL with tracking signature; the unsigned share.shareUrl is the long-term version.
authorMeta.shareUrl	Permanent	Profile share URL.
authorMeta.avatarThumb … avatarLarge (5 sizes)	Permanent	CDN-direct, no signature.
musicMeta.playUrl, musicMeta.coverLarge	Permanent	CDN-direct, no signature.
videoMeta.cover, videoMeta.originCover, videoMeta.dynamicCover, videoMeta.animatedCover, images[].url, chapters[].coverUrl, series.coverUrl	~14–30 days	Signed CDN URLs (*-sign.douyinpic.com). The query string holds the signature; download or re-upload to your own storage if you need them long-term.
videoMeta.playUrl, videoMeta.downloadUrl, videoMeta.playUrlH264, videoMeta.playUrlH265, videoMeta.playUrlLowBitrate, videoMeta.bitRates[].url	~1 hour	Short-lived video CDN URLs. The expiry, when available, is in videoMeta.cdnUrlExpiresAt (unix-seconds); check it before downloading.

The id and url fields are the only truly permanent references. Build your downstream pipeline around them, then re-resolve fresh media URLs whenever you need them, or enable shouldDownloadVideos / shouldDownloadCovers to keep copies in your own storage.

Advanced Usage

Save downloads to a named key-value store

{
  "videoUrls": ["7577614489533680959", "7630302640823912635"],
  "shouldDownloadVideos": true,
  "shouldDownloadCovers": true,
  "videoKvStoreName": "douyin-archive-2026-q4"
}

Use a named store to collect media across runs. File retention follows your Apify storage settings; download or retain the files you need.

Bulk-archive an image-text post (slideshow)

{
  "videoUrls": ["https://www.iesdouyin.com/share/video/7630302640823912635/"],
  "shouldDownloadSlideshowImages": true,
  "shouldDownloadCovers": true
}

For image-text posts, each successfully downloaded slide is saved as a separate file in the key-value store (<aweme_id>_slide_1.jpg, <aweme_id>_slide_2.jpg, …). Plain video posts ignore this toggle.

Pricing: Pay Per Event (PPE)

Result and successful MP4-download charges are listed below. Cover and slideshow saves have no separate actor download charge; standard Apify usage and storage charges still apply.

Result and download charges	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold / Platinum / Diamond
Video scraped (one row in your dataset)	$6.99 / 1k	$4.99 / 1k	$4.49 / 1k	$3.99 / 1k
MP4 download (one saved video file)	$4.99 / 1k	$3.99 / 1k	$3.49 / 1k	$2.99 / 1k
Cover image	Free	Free	Free	Free
Slideshow images	Free	Free	Free	Free

The price table covers the result and MP4-download events. See the actor’s Pricing tab for all applicable charges.

FAQ

What is Douyin (抖音)? Douyin is ByteDance's Chinese short-video platform, the domestic counterpart of TikTok: same company and format, separate app and catalogue. This actor returns available post, music and creator information for public Douyin videos, with optional MP4 saves.

What comes with each video? The result combines post text, engagement counters, media links, music information and available creator details. Successful optional downloads add saved-file links. Availability varies by post; creator follower counts, location and other details may be absent.

What types of inputs are accepted? Browser address-bar URLs (douyin.com/video/<id>), legacy share URLs (iesdouyin.com/share/video/<id>/), app share short links (v.douyin.com/..., auto-resolved), and bare numeric aweme IDs. You can mix all of them in one videoUrls array.

Where are the video and audio download URLs? Every row carries flat top-level fields: videoUrl (direct MP4), audioUrl (original-sound / track MP3), coverUrl, and durationSeconds. These convenience fields are included in the result price and may be empty if unavailable, so an automation can use the available links directly. The shouldDownloadVideos toggle is only for when you'd rather we copy the MP4 bytes into your key-value store for long-term archival. The videoUrl CDN link is short-lived (check videoMeta.cdnUrlExpiresAt); audio availability and URL lifetime can vary.

How long do download URLs last? The CDN URLs in videoMeta (playback / download / multi-bitrate) and the top-level videoUrl typically live about an hour. The expiry, when available, is in videoMeta.cdnUrlExpiresAt. Cover and avatar URLs live ~14-30 days, and audio URL lifetime can vary. The post url is permanent. If you need long-term media, enable shouldDownloadVideos / shouldDownloadCovers to copy the bytes into your own storage.

Do video downloads work for image-text posts? No. Image-text posts have no MP4. Use shouldDownloadSlideshowImages instead; that saves available slide images (one file per successful download).

Where are downloaded files saved? By default, into the run's own key-value store, which you can find on the run's Storage tab. Set videoKvStoreName to a stable name (e.g. douyin-archive) to accumulate downloads across runs in one named store instead.

How fresh is the data? Live: every field is fetched on demand at run time. No caching.

Are statistics live? Yes. diggCount, commentCount, shareCount, collectCount, playCount, etc. are pulled live with each run. Note that playCount is often 0; Douyin does not expose play counts for many videos.

What's the difference between hashtags and videoTags? hashtags are the #tags the creator typed in the caption. videoTags is Douyin's own 3-level content classification; e.g. 美食 (level 1, top-level category) → 美食探店 (level 2) → 餐厅探店 (level 3, leaf). The classification is server-assigned and is one of the more interesting signals on the platform.

What's the difference between permissions and interaction? permissions are author-set + platform-set visibility flags (can the post be downloaded, duetted, stitched, shared, commented). interaction covers the engagement layer: comment-input placeholder text, AB-test flags, audio-comment permissions, image-challenge config.

What's the difference between text, caption, itemTitle, and previewTitle? Douyin returns up to four caption variants per post. text is the full creator-typed description (with hashtags inline). caption is the trimmed version Douyin shows in some feeds. itemTitle is the headline-style title (often only set on PGC content). previewTitle is the share-card preview text. They overlap heavily; pick whichever fits your use case.

Can I scrape comments / replies / followers / liked videos? Not in this actor; per-video metadata, author profile, and downloads only. Use Douyin Comments Scraper for comment threads and Douyin Profile Scraper for a creator's available profile details and posts (follower lists are not exposed by Douyin's public surface).

Does the actor work for any Douyin video? Public videos only. Private posts, deleted videos, region-restricted posts, and accounts that have blocked external access are not addressable.

Do I need a Douyin account or cookies? No. Paste video URLs or aweme IDs and run; no account, cookie export, or QR login is involved.

How do I export the data? The dataset downloads as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML from the run's Storage tab, or via the Apify API. Downloaded MP4s, covers, and slideshow images sit in your key-value store with direct URLs.

How do I find videos to scrape at scale? Chain the suite: Douyin Search Scraper finds videos by keyword and Douyin Profile Scraper collects a creator's published posts; feed the resulting url or id values straight into videoUrls here.

Is it legal to scrape Douyin videos? The actor collects publicly available video data only, nothing behind a login. You are responsible for complying with Douyin's terms of service, the creator's copyright, and applicable data protection law (GDPR, CCPA, PIPL), especially before storing or republishing downloaded media.

What's the maximum number of videos per run? 10,000 per run. Inputs are deduplicated by aweme ID so duplicates cost nothing.
