## 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.

This Apify Actor is designed to scrape TikTok videos based on keywords, tags, or profiles. It allows you to retrieve detailed information about videos matching the specified criteria.

### How to Use

    "size": 10,
    "queryType": "keyword",
    "text": "candle",
    "regionCode": "US"
}
```

- **`size`**: (Required) The number of videos to retrieve. Default is 10.

#### 3. Running the Actor

1. Deploy the Actor on the Apify platform.
2. Provide the input JSON in the Actor's input configuration.
3. Run the Actor to scrape data.
4. The results will be available in the Actor's dataset.

#### 4. Example Use Case

To scrape TikTok videos with the keyword "candle":

1. Set the input as:
   ```json
   {
       "size": 5,
       "queryType": "keyword",
       "text": "candle",
       "regionCode": "US"
   }
   ```
2. Run the Actor.
3. Retrieve the output dataset containing the video details.

### Notes

- This Actor uses TikTok's public web interface to fetch data.
- Ensure that the input parameters are valid and correspond to existing TikTok content.
- The Actor is optimized for performance but may be subject to rate limits or restrictions imposed by TikTok.
