TikTok Video Downloader — TikTok Video Scraper: MP4, Metadata & Comments

Provide a TikTok video URL and download the video file (low/medium/high quality) or extract full metadata — including title, author, view count, like count, comments, and audio info — in clean JSON / MP4.

TL;DR (40-word answer): TikTok Video Downloader is a no-login Apify Actor that downloads TikTok videos or extracts metadata at $0.05 per metadata extraction or $0.25 per video download, covering title, author, views, likes, comments, and audio details. Last verified 2026-05-02.

What it is NOT: TikTok Video Downloader is not a bulk channel scraper, not a live stream recorder (use TikTok Live Recorder for that), and not a search tool — it downloads or extracts metadata from a single TikTok video URL per run.

TikTok Video Downloader is an Apify Actor that downloads TikTok videos or extracts their metadata including title, author, engagement stats, and comments. Maintained by TrueFetch on the Apify Store.

🏷️ Why choose TikTok Video Downloader

TikTok Video Downloader is best for content creators, researchers, and developers who need TikTok video files or structured metadata for analysis, archiving, or AI pipelines.

• 📹 Four quality modes — metadata (no download), low, medium, high (MP4 file).
• 💬 Comment extraction — set max_comments to retrieve comment text, author, likes, and timestamps.
• ⚡ Pay-per-video pricing — $0.05 per metadata extraction or $0.25 per download. Free Apify plan includes $5 monthly credits ≈ 100 free metadata extractions.

💰 Pricing, limits, and performance

⚖️ Compared with alternatives

Verdict. TikTok Video Downloader is ideal for content teams and developers who need cloud-based TikTok video downloads or metadata extraction without managing yt-dlp infrastructure.

⚠️ Common mistakes to avoid

1. Missing video_url. This field is required — provide a full TikTok video URL.
2. Using video_quality: "metadata" when you need the video file. Switch to low, medium, or high for downloads.
3. Setting max_comments to a negative number. Use 0 to skip comments or a positive integer to enable them.
4. Providing a profile URL instead of a video URL. The Actor processes single video URLs, not channel pages.

🛠️ Troubleshooting
