## 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 Profile Scraper

Scrape TikTok profiles at scale. Paste usernames or profile URLs and get followers, following, total likes, video count, bio, bio link and verified status.

Fast HTTP-based. No browser needed.

### What you get

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `username` | Handle (e.g. `khaby.lame`) |
| `userId` / `secUid` | TikTok internal IDs |
| `nickname` | Display name |
| `verified` | Blue check status |
| `privateAccount` | Whether the account is private |
| `bio` | Profile bio text |
| `bioLink` | Link in bio (great for lead gen) |
| `avatar` | Profile picture URL |
| `followerCount` | Followers |
| `followingCount` | Following |
| `likeCount` | Total likes received |
| `videoCount` | Number of videos posted |
| `region` / `language` | Account region and language |
| `commerceUser` | Whether it is a TikTok business/commerce account |
| `profileUrl` | Link to the profile |

### Input

```json
{
  "profiles": ["khaby.lame", "@zachking", "https://www.tiktok.com/@nasa"],
  "maxItems": 100
}
```

Usernames, `@handles` and full profile URLs all work.

### Use cases

- **Influencer discovery**: rank creators by followers, likes and engagement potential
- **Lead generation**: pull the bio link and business status from thousands of creators
- **Competitor tracking**: monitor follower growth of rival brands over time
- **Agency reporting**: refresh creator stats for client dashboards
- **Market research**: measure creator size distribution in a niche

### Notes

- Profiles that do not exist or cannot be reached are **not charged**. They are listed in the run log and status message.
- Apify Proxy is enabled by default and is enough for TikTok profiles.
