FAQ

Do I need a TikTok account or cookies?

No.

Can I get videos from several hashtags at once?

Yes: list them all; each gets up to resultsPerPage videos, and searchHashtag on each row tells you which hashtag it came from.

Does it download the videos?

Yes, if you turn on Download videos: each MP4 is stored in the run's key-value store and linked in mediaUrls. Only download videos you have the rights to use.

Can I get subtitles or a transcript?

Yes. videoMeta.subtitleLinks lists TikTok's caption files for every video that has them; Add transcript text puts the spoken words in a transcript field.

Can I find every video at a restaurant or venue?

Yes: put the place URL in places. Every row has locationMeta with the name, address, city and category.

Can I find small creators?

Yes: set mostDiggs (maximum likes) and read authorMeta.fans.

What does a failed hashtag cost?

Nothing. Only delivered videos are charged.
