TikTok Videos Scraper API: Download Video Data from Any Profile

Need to extract TikTok videos from creator profiles? This guide shows you how to scrape video metadata, performance metrics, and download URLs using the SociaVault API.

Why Scrape TikTok Videos?

TikTok doesn't provide public API access for video data. Yet businesses need this information for:

• Content Analysis - Study what types of videos perform best
• Competitor Research - Monitor competitor posting strategies
• Trend Detection - Identify viral content patterns early
• UGC Collection - Find user-generated content mentioning your brand
• Influencer Vetting - Review creator content quality before partnerships

What Video Data Can You Extract?

Each video returned includes rich metadata:

Field	Description
Video ID	Unique identifier
Video URL	Direct link to watch
Download URL	MP4 download link (no watermark available)
Caption	Video description text
Hashtags	Array of hashtags used
View Count	Total video views
Like Count	Number of likes
Comment Count	Number of comments
Share Count	Times shared
Duration	Video length in seconds
Create Time	When the video was posted
Music	Audio track information

How to Use the Videos Scraper API

Fetch all videos from a TikTok profile:

const response = await fetch('https://api.sociavault.com/tiktok/videos', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    handle: 'mrbeast',
    amount: 50
  })
});

const videos = await response.json();

Sample Response

{
  "videos": [
    {
      "id": "7234567890123456789",
      "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@mrbeast/video/7234567890123456789",
      "downloadUrl": "https://...",
      "caption": "Giving away $1,000,000 💰 #challenge",
      "hashtags": ["challenge", "giveaway", "mrbeast"],
      "views": 45000000,
      "likes": 5200000,
      "comments": 89000,
      "shares": 125000,
      "duration": 58,
      "createTime": "2026-01-05T14:30:00Z",
      "music": {
        "title": "Original Sound",
        "author": "MrBeast"
      }
    }
  ],
  "hasMore": true,
  "cursor": "1704500000000"
}

Pagination for Large Profiles

For creators with many videos, use cursor-based pagination:

let allVideos = [];
let cursor = null;

do {
  const response = await fetch('https://api.sociavault.com/tiktok/videos', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      handle: 'mrbeast',
      amount: 50,
      cursor: cursor
    })
  });
  
  const data = await response.json();
  allVideos = [...allVideos, ...data.videos];
  cursor = data.hasMore ? data.cursor : null;
  
} while (cursor);

console.log(`Scraped ${allVideos.length} videos`);

Common Use Cases

Content Performance Analysis

Calculate average engagement rates across a creator's content:

const avgEngagement = videos.reduce((sum, v) => {
  return sum + ((v.likes + v.comments + v.shares) / v.views);
}, 0) / videos.length;

Finding Top Performing Content

Sort videos by engagement to find what resonates:

const topVideos = videos
  .sort((a, b) => b.likes - a.likes)
  .slice(0, 10);

Hashtag Analysis

Extract the most used hashtags from a creator's content:

const hashtagCounts = {};
videos.forEach(video => {
  video.hashtags.forEach(tag => {
    hashtagCounts[tag] = (hashtagCounts[tag] || 0) + 1;
  });
});
