Proxy configuration

For best results, use Apify Proxy with residential IP addresses:

{
"proxyConfiguration":{
"useApifyProxy":true,
"apifyProxyGroups":["RESIDENTIAL"]
}
}

The scraper works without proxies for profiles and individual videos. Residential proxies are recommended for hashtag and search scraping to avoid TikTok's anti-bot restrictions.

Output formats

Export your data in any format:

• JSON - Structured data for APIs and applications

Cost estimation

• Profile scraping: ~$0.25-0.50 per 100 videos (most efficient)
• Search/hashtag scraping: ~$0.50-1.00 per 100 videos
• Individual videos: ~$0.10-0.25 per 10 videos

Costs depend on proxy usage, results count, and TikTok's current anti-bot measures.

Limitations

• TikTok actively blocks automated access. The scraper uses multiple fallback strategies, but some requests may fail
• Hashtag and search pages are more heavily restricted than profile pages
• Results may vary based on TikTok's anti-bot measures and your proxy configuration
• Rate limiting may apply for very large scraping jobs
