TikTok Profile Scraper

TikTok Profile Scraper

Scrape TikTok profile data and recent videos for any list of usernames or profile URLs, up to a million profiles per run. Every profile returns follower counts, bio, verified status, and optional video feeds with play counts, likes, comments, music metadata, and hashtags. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

TikTok's official API requires a developer account, app review, and strict rate limits that throttle large-scale profile research. This Actor reads public profile pages directly, so you can feed it a list of usernames or profile URLs and get structured data back without any authentication. It handles millions of profiles per run and optionally dives into each profile's recent videos and their comments, all in one fixed schema.

Who uses it	What they scrape TikTok for
Influencer marketing agencies	Build a database of creator profiles with follower counts, engagement rates, and recent content for campaign vetting.
Brand safety analysts	Audit a list of TikTok profiles for bio links, verification status, and content history before partnership decisions.
Social media researchers	Track profile growth, posting frequency, and content themes across a cohort of TikTok creators over time.
Recruitment teams	Identify niche creators by scraping profiles from a target list and filtering by follower range or content category.

What it does

This Actor collects TikTok profile metadata and optional video feeds by username or profile URL, and returns each profile as a flat row with nested video and comment objects when enabled.

• 👤 Profile metadata: username, display name, bio, follower count, following count, likes total, verified badge, and avatar URL.
• 🎬 Video scraping: enable to pull recent videos with play count, hearts, shares, comments count, music track, hashtags, and publish date.
• 💬 Comment scraping: nested inside each video, collect comment text, author, and timestamp for deeper engagement analysis.
• 📅 Date filters: restrict videos to a custom date range with publishedAfter and publishedBefore so you only get fresh or historical content.
• 🔢 Engagement filters: set minimum and maximum hearts per video to isolate top performers or low-engagement outliers.
• 📌 Pinned post control: exclude pinned videos from results to focus on organic, chronological content.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results for some profiles?

Check that the profiles are public and the usernames are spelled correctly. Private or deleted accounts will be skipped. Review the run log for per-profile warnings.

Why are my video counts lower than expected?

The maxVideosPerProfile setting caps how many videos are collected per profile. Also, date filters and minHearts/maxHearts will further reduce the count. Try raising the cap or widening the filters.

The run is taking a long time with many profiles.

Scraping videos and comments adds significant time per profile. For large lists, start with includeVideos disabled to get profile metadata quickly, then re-run with video scraping on a smaller subset.

I enabled comments but don't see them in the output.

Comments are nested inside each video object, not at the profile level. Expand a video row in your dataset to find the comments array. Also verify maxCommentsPerVideo is set above zero.

Why do I get a 'cannot read properties' error in my integration?

Some profiles may have missing fields if TikTok's page structure changes. Use optional chaining in your code when accessing nested fields like videos or comments, and check the raw JSON output for the exact structure.

FAQ

Question	Answer
Do I need a TikTok account or API key to use this?	No. The Actor reads public profile pages directly, so no login, API key, or developer registration is required.
Can I scrape private TikTok profiles?	No. Only public profiles are accessible. If a profile is set to private, the Actor will skip it and log a warning.
How many profiles can I scrape in one run?	You can set maxItems up to 1,000,000 profiles per run. The Actor processes them sequentially and respects platform rate limits automatically.
What video data do I get when I enable includeVideos?	Each video returns play count, hearts, shares, comments count, music track name and artist, hashtags, publish date, and a direct video URL.
Can I filter videos by publish date?	Yes. Use publishedAfter and publishedBefore in YYYY-MM-DD format to restrict videos to a specific date window.
How do comments work in the output?	When includeComments is enabled, each video object contains a nested comments array with comment text, author name, and timestamp. You control the depth with maxCommentsPerVideo.
What format does the data export to?	The Actor outputs to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML. Nested video and comment data is stored as arrays within each profile row.
Can I scrape only profiles without videos?	Yes. Keep includeVideos set to false, and the Actor returns only profile-level metadata: username, bio, follower count, following count, likes total, and verified status.
How do I input a list of profiles?	Paste TikTok usernames (with or without '@') or full profile URLs into the profiles field. The Actor normalizes them automatically.
Does this Actor handle TikTok rate limiting?	Yes. It includes built-in delays and retry logic to stay within TikTok's acceptable request patterns and avoid blocks.
