TikTok Video Scraper: Engagement, Hashtags, Music, $1 per 1,000 Videos
Scrape recent videos from any public TikTok profile. Each video item ships with the full engagement block (plays, likes, comments, shares, saves), hashtags and mentions parsed from the caption, music metadata (track id, title, author, original-sound flag, audio URL), media URLs with resolution and duration, and an embedded author block so you can join videos to creators without a second call. No login or API key required.
