How to track TikTok video views over time

Paying creators per view, or reporting a campaign? You need the numbers for every video, refreshed daily.

Short answer

Put the campaign video URLs into TikTok Video Metrics and add an Apify schedule to run it daily. Each run saves views, likes, comments, shares and saves per video, so you can chart growth or settle payouts.

A real use case

A brand paid 40 creators for one video each, with a bonus over 100k views. A daily run on the 40 URLs feeds a Google Sheet. After 14 days, finance has the exact view count per video for the bonus.

Step by step

  1. Collect the video URLs for the campaign.
  2. Run the actor once to check every URL resolves.
  3. Add a schedule in Apify (Schedules, then daily).
  4. Send results to Google Sheets or a webhook with an Apify integration.

Input (paste into the JSON tab)

{
  "videoUrls": [
    "https://www.tiktok.com/@creator.one/video/7391234567890123456",
    "https://www.tiktok.com/@creator.two/video/7391234567890123999"
  ],
  "maxResults": 100
}

What you get back

{
  "videoUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@creator.one/video/7391234567890123456",
  "views": 1204310,
  "likes": 98402,
  "comments": 3150,
  "shares": 4117,
  "saves": 21880,
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-24T06:00:00Z"
}

Trimmed example. Names and numbers are illustrative; your run returns real data with more fields.

Tips

  • Keep scrapedAt in your sheet. It is your timestamp for each reading.
  • Saves and shares predict reach better than likes.

What it costs

$1 per 1,000 videos. 40 videos daily for 30 days is 1,200 readings, about $1.20.

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

FAQ

Do I need access to the creator's account?

No. Public numbers only, so no creator login or TikTok analytics access.

Can it read private videos?

No. Private or deleted videos come back without metrics.
