## 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 Video Scraper 🎬

**Paste any TikTok link — get the full post data back as clean, structured JSON.** Works with regular video URLs, photo posts, short share links (`vm.tiktok.com`, `vt.tiktok.com`, `tiktok.com/t/…`) and even bare post IDs. No login, no cookies, no browser extensions.

***

### ✨ What you can do with it

- 📊 **Track post performance** — monitor plays, likes, comments, shares and saves for any post over time.
- 🎯 **Analyze competitors & campaigns** — pull exact stats for the posts that matter to you.
- 🧲 **Vet influencers** — check real engagement on the posts they pitch you.
- 🔗 **Expand short links in bulk** — turn `vm.tiktok.com/…` share links into canonical URLs + full data.
- 🤖 **Feed your pipeline** — push results straight into Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, or your own app via the Apify API.

### 🎁 What you get for each post

Caption, post date, play / like / comment / share / save / repost counts, duration, cover image, direct media URLs, hashtags, mentions, music/sound details, photo-post images, and the author's profile with follower / like / video counts.

### 🚀 How to use it

1. Add one or more **post URLs** (any format — full URL, short link, or post ID).
2. Click **Start** — results stream into the dataset as they're scraped.
3. Export as **JSON, CSV or Excel**, or read them via the API.

#### Example input

```json
{
  "postUrls": [
    "https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7231338487075638570",
    "https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMabc123/"
  ]
}
```

### 💰 Pricing

This actor uses **pay-per-event** pricing: you pay a small fee per post scraped. No subscriptions, no minimums — scrape 3 posts or 30,000 and pay only for what you get.

### ❓ FAQ

**Does it work with photo (carousel) posts?**
Yes — photo posts return the same record with `isPhotoPost: true` and the image URLs in `images`.

**Do I need a TikTok account or cookies?**
No. The actor only reads public pages.

**Why did a post come back empty?**
The post is deleted, private, age-restricted or region-blocked. Those can't be read publicly.

**Is this legal?**
The actor only collects publicly available data. You are responsible for how you use the data — see Apify's [terms](https://apify.com/terms-of-use) and consult local regulations for your use case.
