Our free TikTok Scraper allows extracting data about videos from the TikTok social media site. It gives you detailed TikTok information in structured formats such as Excel, XML, HTML, JSON, and CSV, which you can use in your own reports, spreadsheets, and applications. Our TikTok Scraper allows you to scrape:
- Results from TikTok hashtag search.
- Numbers of comments and shares, followers and following, total likes.
- Individual posts and full user profiles - by using a URL for a specific profile or video.
- The output is limited to maximum 20 results and 5 comments.
Use TikTok Unlimited Scraper to use the full potential of scraping TikTok. Scrape TikTok hashtags, numbers of comments and shares, followers and following, user profiles, and individual posts without limitations.
This TikTok Scraper creates an unofficial TikTok API. TikTok now has an estimated one billion users, and many of those users spend as much as 80 minutes per day on the app. With a TikTok API, you can build your own products and applications on top of the TikTok platform.
If you run TikTok Scraper on the Apify platform, a single run of the actor will take approximately 0.2 CU per 1000 results. It means that, on average, you can extract about 1,000 results for less than 1 USD credit.
The easiest way to know how many credits your actor will need is to perform a test run. If you're unsure how much credit you've got on your plan, check your limits in the Settings -> Usage and Billing tab in your Console.
If you've never done scraping before - worry not; just follow our step-by-step guide on how to scrape TikTok and you'll be up to speed in no time. Or simply follow our quick video tutorial on YouTube:
How to use the extracted TikTok data:
- Boost brand awareness; spread the message about social issues and causes.
- Forecast upcoming trends and influences on social media across the new generation.
- Get data for research and social listening experiments.
- Get authentic product reviews and back up sentiment analysis with real data.
- Plan commercial campaigns on TikTok or other social media platforms.
- Simplify market research for hashtag challenges and marketing campaigns.
If this actor is run on the Apify platform, our brand new interface will help you to configure all the necessary and optional parameters of this scraper before running it. This scraper recognizes the following input parameters:
- hashtags - scrapes TikTok for hashtags. You can duplicate this parameter to scrape several hashtags simultaneously.
- profiles - scrapes TikTok profiles. You can copy this parameter to scrape several profiles simultaneously.
- postURLs- scrapes specific TikTok posts. You can duplicate this parameter to scrape several posts at the same time.
- resultsPerPage - sets the maximum limit for the amount of scraped results; default is 20.
- maxRequestRetries - indicates the limit of scraper retries in case of any errors.
- proxyConfiguration - sets up the proxies.
{
"resultsPerPage": 20,
"proxyConfiguration": {
"useApifyProxy": true
},
"hashtags": ["comfortfood"],
"maxRequestRetries": 10
}The output from TikTok Scraper is stored in a dataset. Each item is information about a video and user or channel. Here's an example of some of the output you would get if you used the input parameters above to scrape the hashtag "comfortfood":
