## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## TikTok Hashtag Scraper — Videos, Views, Likes & Shares

**$0.99 per 1,000 videos — cheaper than the $1.00+ alternatives, with no login and no monthly fee. You pay only for the videos you actually get.** Scrape every video under any TikTok hashtag and export it to CSV, JSON or Excel.

### Why this one

- 💸 **Lowest price on the Store** — a flat **$0.99 / 1,000 videos**, undercutting the popular $1.00+ TikTok hashtag scrapers. A 10,000-video export costs **$9.90**.
- 📦 **Deep export** — paginates as far as TikTok will serve the feed; set the limit high and let it run.
- 🔓 **No login, no API key** — just hashtags in, data out.
- ⚡ **Pay-per-result** — billed only per video delivered; failed hashtags cost nothing.

### What you get per video

Description, **views (plays), likes, comments, shares, saves**, duration, timestamp, the **author** (username, nickname, id, verified), the music (title, author), the video URL and cover image.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `hashtags` | array | **Required.** Hashtags to scrape, with or without `#`. |
| `maxVideosPerHashtag` | integer | Videos per hashtag — set high for a deep export (feed ends on its own). |
| `maxVideos` | integer | Optional hard cap across all hashtags (0 = no cap). |

```json
{
  "hashtags": ["recipes", "#skincare", "fyp"],
  "maxVideosPerHashtag": 5000
}
```

### Output (one row per video)

```json
{
  "input_hashtag": "recipes",
  "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@chef/video/7365...",
  "description": "3-ingredient pasta 🍝",
  "plays": 1840233,
  "likes": 220145,
  "comments": 1820,
  "shares": 9043,
  "saves": 48120,
  "author_username": "chef",
  "author_verified": true,
  "created_at": "2026-09-02T14:03:00+00:00"
}
```

### Pricing

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| `video-scraped` | **$0.99 / 1,000 videos** ($0.00099 each) |

Only successful videos are billed; hashtags that error cost nothing.

### Notes

- TikTok limits how deep a hashtag feed goes, so "all videos" means all videos TikTok will serve for that tag.

### 🔌 Use this Actor from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor (MCP)

Add it as a tool in any MCP client - Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code or ChatGPT - through Apify's hosted MCP server. The client runs the Actor for you and reads the results back, so you never leave the chat.

**Actor-specific server URL**

```
https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=actors,docs,zaver.api/tiktok-hashtag-scraper
```

**Claude Code** - one command:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http tiktokhashtag "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=actors,docs,zaver.api/tiktok-hashtag-scraper"
```

**Claude Desktop, Cursor or any client with a JSON config:**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tiktokhashtag": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=actors,docs,zaver.api/tiktok-hashtag-scraper"
    }
  }
}
```

The first connection opens a browser to sign in to Apify, so no API token sits in your config. If your client cannot do OAuth, send `Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>` instead.

Then simply ask:

    "recipes"
  ]
}' |
apify call zaver.api/tiktok-hashtag-scraper --silent --output-dataset

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
