Pricing

Pay-per-result pricing. Tiered discounts apply automatically based on usage volume.

Limitations

• Private accounts cannot be scraped.

• Very new or low-engagement videos may have incomplete metadata.
• Rate limits apply on heavy runs — spread large jobs across queries.

Compared to alternatives

• vs. clockworks/tiktok-scraper ($0.0037/result, 156K users): That actor is cheaper with a broader surface area. This actor keeps the schema tight and consistent across video and user search and is maintained on a predictable release cadence.

Pairs well with Instagram Scraper and YouTube Scraper for cross-platform creator research.

FAQ

Can I scrape a specific creator's videos? Yes. Prefix the handle with @ in queries (e.g., @gordonramsay). Switch searchType to videos for their video feed or users for the profile record.

Does hashtag search work? Yes. Prefix the term with # (e.g., #recipe) and use searchType: "videos".

Are view counts accurate in real time? Counts are pulled live at run time, so they reflect TikTok's public numbers at that moment. Small drift from the app is expected on fast-moving videos.

Do I need an API key or login? No.
