## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

## TikTok Profile & Video Intelligence

Scout TikTok creators and track video performance for influencer campaigns without running a headless browser. Supply profile or video URLs, and the actor extracts play counts, likes, comments, shares, author stats, and captions for every video. Built for marketers, agencies, and data teams who need structured TikTok data at scale.

### Features

- **Profile-level scanning** — extract up to 500 videos from a single creator's page
- **Video-level stats** — plays, likes, comments, shares, and creation timestamp per video
- **Author metadata** — follower count, unique ID, and display name for each creator
- **Captions & hashtags** — full video description text for content and trend analysis
- **No browser overhead** — parses TikTok's internal rehydration payload directly
- **Bulk input** — process multiple profiles or videos in one run
- **Pay-per-event pricing** — you only pay for each video record returned

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `urls` | `array` | Yes | — | TikTok profile or video URLs to scan (e.g. `https://www.tiktok.com/@charlidamelio`) |
| `maxItems` | `integer` | No | `30` | Maximum number of videos to extract per profile. Increase for deeper analysis or lower for quick checks. |
| `timeoutSeconds` | `integer` | No | `15` | Maximum seconds to wait for each page to respond |

#### Input Example

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok",
    "https://www.tiktok.com/@charlidamelio"
  ],
  "maxItems": 50
}
````

### Output

Each video produces one dataset item with the source URL, video ID, direct video URL, author info, engagement stats, caption text, and creation timestamp.

#### Output Example

```json
{
  "sourceUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@charlidamelio",
  "videoId": "7345678901234567890",
  "videoUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@charlidamelio/video/7345678901234567890",
  "authorUniqueId": "charlidamelio",
  "authorNickname": "Charli D'Amelio",
  "authorFollowers": 155200000,
  "text": "new dance tutorial #dance #fyp #viral",
  "playCount": 8500000,
  "diggCount": 1200000,
  "commentCount": 24500,
  "shareCount": 45000,
  "createTime": 1709251200
}
```

### Pricing

| Event | Cost |
|-------|------|
| `Profile Scan` | Pay per event on Apify platform |

### Use Cases

- **Influencer scouting** — compare engagement rates across creators before signing partnerships
- **Campaign tracking** — monitor video performance over time with scheduled runs
- **Trend research** — analyze captions and hashtags to spot emerging content trends
- **Competitive intelligence** — benchmark your brand's TikTok presence against competitors
- **Content strategy** — identify which video formats drive the most views and shares

### Related Actors

| Actor | What it adds |
|-------|-------------|
| [TikTok Comments Extractor](https://apify.com/andok/tiktok-comments-extractor) | Pull individual comments from TikTok videos for sentiment analysis |
| [Instagram Follower Counter](https://apify.com/andok/instagram-follower-counter) | Track creator audience size on Instagram alongside TikTok |
| [Twitter/X Follower Counter](https://apify.com/andok/twitter-follower-counter) | Add Twitter/X follower data to cross-platform creator profiles |

### Notes

- The actor parses TikTok's `__UNIVERSAL_DATA_FOR_REHYDRATION__` payload. If TikTok serves a captcha or login wall, the run returns an error for that URL.
- Profile pages typically expose 20-30 videos in the initial payload; the `maxItems` cap applies to what is available on the page.

# Actor input Schema

## `urls` (type: `array`):

TikTok profile or video URLs to scan. Use profile URLs to extract multiple videos, or video URLs for single-video stats (e.g. https://www.tiktok.com/@charlidamelio).

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of videos to extract from each profile page. Increase for deeper analysis or lower for a quick overview.

## `timeoutSeconds` (type: `integer`):
