TikTok Profile and Posts/Videos Extra

This Apify actor scrapes video data from TikTok profiles. It extracts comprehensive metadata, engagement statistics, and author details for content analysis, lead generation, or trend tracking.

Key Features

• Profile Scraping: Targets specific TikTok profiles (@username) to extract all associated videos.
• Detailed Data: Captures video metadata (ID, description, timestamps), engagement stats, music/audio details, and full author information.
• Customizable Execution: Control the scroll delay to mimic human behavior and set a limit on the number of videos to scrape.
• Reliability Features: Supports proxy configuration to avoid rate limiting and allows cookie-based authentication for accessing content that requires a login.

How to Use

1. Prepare Authentication (Optional): For profiles requiring login, use the EditThisCookie Chrome extension. Log into TikTok in your browser, export the cookies via the extension, and paste them into the actor's cookies input field.
2. Configure Input: In the Apify console, set the actor's input parameters.
   • startUrls: Provide the TikTok profile URL(s) (e.g., https://www.tiktok.com/@username).
   • minDelayForScroll / maxDelayForScroll: Optional. Set the scroll delay range in seconds (defaults: 2 to 5).
   • maxItemsToScrape: Optional. Limit the total videos scraped (default: 100).
   • cookies: Optional. Paste exported cookies for authentication.
   • proxyConfiguration: Recommended. Configure proxies for more reliable runs.
3. Run: Launch the actor on the Apify platform.
4. Collect Data: Retrieve the structured dataset from the actor's output, available in formats like JSON or CSV.
