TikTok Video Scraper

This actor extracts structured data from public TikTok videos using their URLs. It's designed for developers and analysts who need to programmatically collect video metadata, engagement stats, and author information at scale, without manually browsing the platform.

Overview

The scraper processes one or multiple TikTok video URLs. It retrieves publicly available data, requiring no login. You can run it via the Apify platform's interface or integrate it into automated workflows using its API. Common use cases include trend analysis, influencer research, and content auditing.

Key Features

• Bulk URL Processing: Submit multiple video links in a single run.
• Comprehensive Data Extraction: Fetches:
  • Video details: URL, caption, hashtags, publication timestamp, duration.
  • Engagement metrics: Play count, likes (diggCount), comments, shares.
  • Author metadata: Name, username, avatar, bio.
  • Music information: Track title and author.
• Comment Scraping: Optional extraction of video comments (configurable limit).
• Flexible Export: Results are available in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML.
• Integration Ready: Built-in support for Apify API, webhooks, and connections like Zapier, Google Drive, and Slack.
• Proxy & Pagination Support: Handles large-scale scraping operations reliably.

How to Use

1. Input: Provide TikTok video URLs via the actor's input configuration. You can specify an array of URLs and set optional parameters like max_comments.
2. Run: Start the actor on the Apify platform. It will navigate to each URL, extract the data, and handle page scrolling for comments if enabled.
3. Output: Once finished, download the collected dataset from the actor's run dataset in your preferred format.
