How much does it cost to scrape TikTok profiles?

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing.

You pay a small start fee for each run and a per-profile fee for each TikTok profile saved to the dataset.

Limitations

TikTok can change public page structure and availability.

Private, deleted, restricted, or unavailable profiles may be skipped.

Recent videos are included only when the public profile response provides video summaries.

Troubleshooting

Why did a profile not appear in the dataset?

The profile may be private, deleted, misspelled, unavailable in the run location, or temporarily not returned by TikTok.

Check the run log for a warning with the skipped handle.

Why are recent videos empty?

Some public profile responses include stats but not recent videos. The profile row is still useful for bios, followers, likes, and account metadata.

Can I scrape private TikTok accounts?

No. This actor is intended for public data only.

Legality and responsible use

This actor extracts publicly available TikTok profile information. Make sure your use case complies with applicable laws, platform terms, and privacy obligations.

Do not use scraped data for spam, harassment, discrimination, or other harmful activity.
