## 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.

- Limit output by page count or total item count for cost control.
### 💰 Pricing
This actor uses event-based pricing — you only pay for what you use.

#### Cost Examples

### Input Parameters
The input of this scraper should be JSON containing the list of hashtags or URLs to scrape. Possible fields are:
- `search`: (Optional) (Array) List of TikTok hashtag keywords to search (e.g. `anime`, `music`).
- `startUrls`: (Optional) (Array) List of TikTok hashtag URLs to scrape directly.
- `endPage`: (Optional) (Number) Final page number to scrape. Default is `Infinite`. Applies to each search/URL individually.
- `maxItems`: (Optional) (Number) Maximum number of videos to retrieve in total.
- `customMapFunction`: (Optional) (String) JavaScript function to transform each output item.
#### Input Example
```json
{
"search": ["anime", "tiktok"],
"startUrls": [
"https://www.tiktok.com/search?q=%23music&t=1670685477846"
],
"maxItems": 100,
"endPage": 2
}
```
### During the Run
During the run, the actor will output messages letting you know what is going on. Each message always contains a short label specifying which page from the provided list is currently specified.
When items are loaded from the page, you should see a message about this event with a loaded item count and total item count for each page.
If you provide incorrect input to the actor, it will immediately stop with a failure state and output an explanation of what is wrong.
### Tiktok Hashtag Export
During the run, the actor stores results into a dataset. Each item is a separate item in the dataset.
You can manage the results in any language (Python, PHP, Node JS/NPM). See the FAQ or our API reference to learn more about getting results from this Tiktok Hashtag actor.
