How to scrape TikTok hashtag videos

A real use case

A market researcher tracks #booktok for a publisher. Every week they scrape 300 videos posted in the last 7 days plus 20 comments each, and count which book titles come up most.

Step by step

1. List hashtags without the # sign.
2. Set videos per hashtag in Videos per hashtag, profile or search.
3. Add Posted after to keep only recent videos.
4. Optional: add comments per video.
5. Run and export.

Input (paste into the JSON tab)

{
  "hashtags": [
    "booktok",
    "booktokbooks"
  ],
  "resultsPerPage": 150,
  "oldestPostDateUnified": "2026-10-17",
  "commentsPerPost": 20
}

What you get back

{
  "caption": "books that made me cry on the train",
  "hashtags": [
    "booktok"
  ],
  "authorUsername": "reads.with.ivy",
  "views": 640000,
  "likes": 51000,
  "comments": 1200,
  "uploadedAt": "2026-10-20T19:40:00Z"
}

Tips

• Use leastDiggs (minimum likes) to keep only videos that got traction.
• Pro also takes profiles, search queries and video URLs in the same run.

What it costs

$2.60 per 1,000 results. 300 videos cost about $0.78, plus comments at the same rate.

Plus a small per-run start fee. Apify's free plan includes monthly credit, enough to test. Check the listing for current pricing.
