They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

This powerful tool helps you extract structured data from TikTok URLs, including the video details, user comments, and replies. #### Key Features - **TikTok Video Data Extraction**: The actor scrapes the video details, including the URL, author, and metadata, even if no comments are present. - **Customizable Comments Limit**: Specify the number of comments to retrieve for each TikTok video. - **Replies to Comments**: Configure the number of replies fetched for each comment or disable it for performance optimization. *** ### **⚠️ Important Feature Highlight ⚠️** #### **Integrated Video Data in Comments** - If includeVideoInFirstComment is checked: The TikTok video details are embedded within the first comment object for each scraped TikTok url. If no comments exist, the video details will be included in one dummy comment object to ensure consistency. - If includeVideoInFirstComment is NOT checked: The TikTok video details are excluded from the comment object entirely, and only the standard dataset fields (without embedding the video in comments) are provided. *** ### Input Schema #### Input Properties 1. **`startUrls`** (required) - **Type**: `array` - **Description**: List of TikTok video URLs to scrape. - **Example**: ```json [ { "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@therock/video/7456475589663362350" } ] ``` 2. **`commentsLimit`** (optional) - **Type**: `integer` - **Description**: Maximum number of comments to scrape per video. - **Default**: `100` 3. **`oneCommentRepliesLimit`** (optional) - **Type**: `integer` - **Description**: Maximum number of replies to scrape for each comment. Setting this to `0` disables replies fetching. - **Default**: `0` 4. **`includeVideoInFirstComment`** (optional) - **Type**: `boolean` - **Description**: If checked then each tiktok video data will be included in the first comment in each scraped url - **Default**: false #### Input Exmaple ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@therock/video/7456475589663362350" } ], "commentsLimit": 100, "oneCommentRepliesLimit": 0, "includeVideoInFirstComment": false } ``` *** ### Output Schema #### Properties | **Field** | **Type** | **Description** | | ----------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | | tiktok\_video | json | TikTok video details (embedded in the first comment). | | originUrl | string | The provided TikTok video URL. | | text | string | Text content of the comment. | | id | string | Unique identifier for each comment. | | isPinned | boolean | Whether the comment is pinned. | | createdTime | date | Timestamp when the comment was created. | | commentLang | string | Language of the comment text. | | authorUsername | string | Username of the comment author. | | authorNickname | string | Nickname of the comment author. | | authorPicUrl | string | Profile picture URL of the comment author. | | diggCount | integer | Number of likes on the comment. | | diggedByAuthor | boolean | Indicates if the comment is liked by the author. | | repliesCount | integer | Total number of replies to the comment. | | reply\_to\_nickname | string | Nickname of the user the comment replied to. | | reply\_id | string | Unique identifier for the reply. | | replies | json | Array of replies to the comment. | *** #### Output Example ```json [ { "originUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@therock/video/7456475589663362350", "id": "7456661078770238251", "text": "Damn I knew he would be there.
