## 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.

**📥 [Input](https://apify.com/scrapers_lat/tiktok-post-generator-tool/input-schema) · 📤 [Output](https://apify.com/scrapers_lat/tiktok-post-generator-tool/output-schema) · 💰 [Pricing](https://apify.com/scrapers_lat/tiktok-post-generator-tool/pricing) · ▶️ [Examples](https://apify.com/scrapers_lat/tiktok-post-generator-tool/examples)**
Hook first 1 to 2 seconds
Caption under 2200 chars
Hashtags + ideas trending, niche, shots
### What it does
Give it a topic in plain words, pick a tone, and it builds a full TikTok post plan:
- **hook**: the spoken opening line for the first one to two seconds, written to stop the scroll
- **caption**: a natural on-post caption under 2200 characters
- **hashtags**: a mix of trending discovery tags and specific niche tags, cleaned and de-duplicated
- **videoIdeas**: a short shot list of scene ideas so you know what to film
Copy the result straight into TikTok, a scheduler, or a content plan. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.
### Paid plans only
This tool runs on the latest, most reliable premium AI models. Because each run has a real model cost, it is available to paid Apify accounts only. A run started from a free account stops immediately with an upgrade message. Upgrade your Apify subscription to a paid plan and run it again.
### Who is it for

|---|---|
| Creators | Solo creators who need a strong hook every time |

### Input
- **topic**: what the video is about, in your own words.
- **tone**: optional voice, for example friendly, hype, deadpan or expert.
### Notes
- The caption is capped at 2200 characters and hashtags at 30.

### Export, API and AI agents (x402 + MCP)
Export the scraped data to **JSON, CSV or Excel**, pull it as a **dataset** through the Apify **API**, or wire it into your app with **no code**. This web scraper and data extractor also works for bulk data extraction and scheduled runs.
For AI agents: this Actor is available on **x402**, Apify's agentic payment standard built with Coinbase. An AI agent can discover, pay for and run it on its own with a funded wallet and a single HTTP request: no account, no subscription, no API key and no human in the loop. It also runs as an **MCP** tool inside Claude, Cursor and other AI clients out of the box. Learn more about [x402 agentic payments on Apify](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402).
