TikTok Search Scraper

TikTok

Operated by Sourcelane✓ verified

A keyword-driven TikTok search scraper that performs user-like keyword queries and extracts ranked, structured video-level data from TikTok search results. The connector returns one record per video in TikTok's search order and captures search ranking context together with video metadata (identifiers, direct URLs, text descriptions, hashtags, duration, cover image, post date, region), engagement metrics (plays/views, likes, comments, shares, saves/collections, downloads/reposts), author metadata (handle, display name, verification status, follower counts, biography), and music metadata (track identifiers, title, artist). Results reflect live TikTok search at the time of the run and are optimized for keyword analysis and competitive monitoring.
